Brickbat: Sex, Booze, and Superheroes

"Deadpool," Fox

The Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control has cited Brewvies Cinema Pub for showing Deadpool. Officials said a sex scene and a brief moment of male nudity in the film violated a state law against simulated sex or nudity in a place that serves alcohol.

Congrats Utah, way to live up to the stereotype.

[Inigo Montoya, Micro-Aggressor]

Great movie. Loser state.

First true victory of the election cycle

Not a victory, merely a temporary setback for the Forces of (For Your Own) Good. Trying to hold back grand transportation plans just because it's a huge boondoggle is a fool's errand - that huge boondoggle is the whole reason they're supporting the idea. There's too much loose money floating around and they're determined to get some. Might as well pour a jar of honey on your picnic blanket and then try to keep the ants away. They'll be back.

I have it on good authority that jacking off unicorns will cure 'climate change'. That was a public service announcement. Nothing more.

[straffinrun]

Lawmakers stroking their authoritarian boners doesn't count as simulated sex?

[thrakkorzog]

I'm pretty sure you have to actually get off on the charge for it to count. I'm sure the Utah ABC enjoys pounding it to "Ilsa, she Wolf of the SS."

[thrakkorzog]

And that's not a masturbation euphemism.

[thrakkorzog]

It's really a single entendre.

[straffinrun]

It's love when they pound us because they aren't imagining we're anyone else.

[Monty Crisco]

Well, who's your genicon?!?!

[Gene]

Kind of reminiscent of the morality police the Taliban and the Saudis utilize.

[Brochettaward]

If I could kick one state out of the Union, it would be California. If I could kick a second state out, it would be Vermont. Long story short, the fifth would be Utah.

[BigT]

No, NY should be first. CA at least has good farming and wine.

[db]

That's what international trade is for.

[Brochettaward]

There's parts of NY that aren't batshit crazy. I guess the same could be said of Caliornia, but I really hate Californians. Even more than New Jerseyans.

[Radioactive]

oh, oh, MA ... cause it's were so many of the delusional come from (Kerry, Warren, Harvard Graduating class of 1974)

[Slumbrew]

In our defense, none of those assholes are _from_ MA, we just keep ele... oh, yeah, you got a point.

[Tom Bombadil]

Utah is like Saudi Arabia. Instead of oil, they use the Nation's best powder snow as their leverage.

[Pat (PM)]

Since both of those things are perfectly legal by themselves, what is the additional hazard in combining them that warrants a legal proscription?

[Brochettaward]

The morality police just don't want too much debauchery going on in one establishment. This isn't restricted to Utah. I've seen a number of dry strip clubs. In counties in Florida where I'm at, it seems you can sell alcohol or have full nude. But you can't do both. One place has a bar on one side and a strip club on the other.

[Pat (PM)]

There's a lot of things I really don't like about my adopted state of Nevada, but one of the handful of things I do like is the relatively consistent tolerance for vice is great, even though I'm not really one to indulge.

[Tom Bombadil]

It's the perfect storm theory of sin.

Any one sin alone can be tolerated, but when combined......

[Radioactive]

my tolerance for this kind of crap is rapidly coming to and end...

[Fist of Etiquette]

Public displays of simulated violence? Drink up!

[Radioactive]

NFL, NHL, MMA...sessions of Congress?

"I work-over internet!"

So do I! At least when it's been working really slow and it keeps telling me my connection has timed out. That's when I take out the rubber hose and the brass knuckles.

Once I even had to resort to a pair of pliers and I applied a bit of persuasion on little-used keyboard keys like the semi-colon and less than/greater than sign key.

I even affect a German accent during the interrogations. "Vell, vee have vays of inkcreasing your bandwidth!"

[Tom Bombadil]

Imagine if you were banging the wife while watching "Sideways". ATF kicking down the door.

[dantheserene]

I'm so pleased to hear that crime in Utah is so low as to make this type of enforcement a reasonable allocation of resources.
Can they seize the theater over a morals violation?

I quit my office job and now I am getting paid 69 Dollars hourlly. How? I work-over internet! My old work was making me miserable, so I was to try-something different. 1 years after...I can say my life is changed completely for the better! Check it out what i do...UI6
