"Fifty Shades of Grey"

The Idaho State Police's alcohol beverage control unit has barred theaters showing Fifty Shades of Grey from serving alcohol while it is playing. Officials cite state law barring businesses serving alcohol from containing sexually explicit material or nudity, a law which has apparently been enforced against no other R-rated movie.

Socially conservative nanny state. I'm surprised alcohol is allowed in theaters, period.

Idaho has the second highest Morman pop in the US. I'm surprised we can buy booze on Sundays.

[An Innocent Man]

Wait, you can buy booze on Sundays? Sigh...

You can in PA too. From the Soviet-style state store.

When women have alcohol in their system, they can't legally consent to watching soft porn.

[Gordilocks]

Can you obtain 'hard' consent,
from a man who's whiskey bent?

[JeremyR]

That stars Tipi Headron's (sp?) granddaughter.

Too bad Alfred Hitchcock isn't around to watch it. I'm sure he would have really, really liked it...

[Florida Man]

How did those evil atheists even manage to get this law passed?!?

[Notorious G.K.C.]

They were too busy hassling the Little Sisters of the Poor?

[Notorious G.K.C.]

...to worry about this law.

[SugarFree]

Alter boys can't get pregnant, so I see why you are so against contraception.

[Notorious G.K.C.]

Alter boys? Are they trans? What did they alter?

From the Idaho constitution:

SECTION 24. PROMOTION OF TEMPERANCE AND MORALITY. The first concern of all good government is the virtue and sobriety of the people, and the purity of the home. The legislature should further all wise and well directed efforts for the promotion of temperance and morality.
