Let me guess, obscenity is about to be redefined.

Frankly obscenity laws are unconstitutional and should be struck down anyway.

Fuzzy do you not remember when I was trying to advertise commercial products and professional services, and you were like, "you can't do that," and I was like, "why not??" and you were all, "'cause you don't have the right to?"

Oh yeah. Obscenities not protected by free speech. I'd imagine that's another conservative measure exclusive to America's right-wing development that UK and the rest of Europe kinda laugh at us about.

Just don't say mean words on social media if you happen to live there. ;)
