Not that I WANT one, but ...

...wtf is this?

Georgia House Bans Genital Piercings

Now, I can understand banning involuntary mutilation (and in fact, I am glad they're even addressing that issue), but voluntary body modification? It's been going on forever and it's certainly one of those things that the government needs to keep its er, nose out of.

This quote kills me ...

Amendment sponsor Rep. Bill Heath, R-Bremen, was slack-jawed when told after the vote that some adults seek the piercings.

"What? I've never seen such a thing," Heath said. "I, uh, I wouldn't approve of anyone doing it. I don't think that's an appropriate thing to be doing."

Like anyone gives a damn whether Bill Heath approves or not!

I personally am squeamish of all piercings - I don't even have pierced ears - but one thing I do know, I don't want some redneck state congressman telling how and where I can wear jewelry! For all he knows, every woman he sees during the course of his day has a nice little piece of pretty jewelry "down there."

Solidarity with my MUCH more adventurous (and brave) sistuhs!

I just don't understand how this bill is going to be approved. 2-20 years for a piercing?! Are they doing to check every woman's panties for jewelry? For a woman to spend 2-20 years for a genital piercing is ridiculous. Georgia apparently has nothing better to worry about!
