You've got to understand, this business is about selling, and blonde and blue-eyed girls are what sells.

Why does it always seem like Texas, Florida and Alabama are always doing something stupid to encroach on civil rights or find something subversive in everything from cartoon characters to television shows? Legislators in Texas are considering legislation to ban 'sexually suggestive' performances in schools by cheerleaders. Exposed midriffs and ever shorter shorts and skirts have particularly outraged some legislators.
The proposed law would ban dance routines by school cheerleaders at sports events that one politician said was like something out of a strip club. The bill would allow the Texas Education Agency to ban routines deemed vulgar or excessive.
One of the co-authors of the bill, Republican Corbin Van Arsdale, said many parents want restrictions because they go to Friday night games to see young men clashing on the football field, not girls shaking their behinds on the sidelines.
If the courts cannot define pornography just how are these people going to set rules for sexually suggestive? Maybe the answer is cheerleaders in burkas.

It must be nice to live in a state where they have no bigger problems than the appropriateness of cheerleading. To think, a perfect education system, no crime or poverty, no corporate scandals, and a lush, well-protected environment. Oh, to be a Texan.
Devo, Rags, it sounds as though those states are stuck in a time warp somewhere between the Victorian Age and the 1950s, which I don't think they would argue; they much perfer the hypocrisy.
