It's been...fun!

Arizona House Bill 2549, which is now on Gov. Jan Brewer's desk for signature, was created to counter bullying and stalking. The law would make it a crime to use any electronic or digital device to communicate using "obscene, lewd or profane language" or to suggest a lewd or lascivious act, if done with the intent to "terrify, intimidate, threaten, harass, annoy or offend."

Guilty.

So how exactly are they planning to enforce this? And does it only apply if one is interacting with another Arizonan? Or all online activities?

"What are you in for?"

"Assault. You?"

"Calling my buddy in West Virginia a fuckin' chubby bald hillbilly."

Arizona is the worst. How a southwest state managed to become so stupid that they out-stupid Mississippi, South Carolina and Alabama is beyond me.
