Far be it for me to address female strippers. But this is hilarious. Kent Ostrander, of the Family Foundation, sent out this urgent email blast about the importance of pasties:

Yesterday we addressed The Ultrasound Bill – a sanctity of life issue.  Today we want to address public decency and The Public Decency Act – House Bill 413.  Remember, there are five weeks left in the 2010 General Assembly session.  Would you please avail yourself for 2 minutes in each of the next few days to make one call to your legislators?  If we all push a little, these things can get done.  Remember, we are called to be salt.

Today’s concern:

House Bill 413 – The Public Decency Act: This bill simply requires that women performers at strip bars have at least “something on” – they cannot be totally naked – AND it requires that they cannot be groped by patrons.  Neither of those two standards are particularly onerous . . . they are basically common sense. Unfortunately this bill has died in the House every year since 2000 (with one exception when it was not introduced).  It has passed the Senate every year it has been introduced there.  It seems that the very same liberals that block pro-life legislation also block decency bills.

Cover up the boobies! Cover them up! No nip slips! Controlling every aspect of a woman’s life and body is of utmost importance.

Am I the only one chuckling that it’s always these fearmonger religio-haters who consistently push to make female nudity illegal while leaving male nudity on the table?

UPDATE: 40+ people have emailed about this hilarity. And one astute reader wants to know if “something on” could be satisfied by wearing Saran Wrap or a headband.

Discuss.
