Duct Tape Over Nipples?


Maybe Middleboro's Anti-Swearing Crowd could put this on Town Meeting Warrant.
At least it would get the Town back in the international news.

Duct Tape Over Nipples Could Keep Women out of Prison in NC?

By Jeff Elder, SF Gate
22 February 13

trategically placed duct tape is the latest addition to the ongoing story of North Carolina lawmakers’ attempt to imprison women for six months if they bare their breasts in public. N.C. state lawmaker Tim Moore has suggested women can take their shirts off and stay out of jail with the help of a couple of strips of duct tape. “You know what they say: Duct tape fixes everything,” Moore is quoted as saying.

Moore’s helpful comments came in discussion of North Carolina’s House Bill 34, introduced the day before Valentine’s Day and now headed to the statehouse, which makes it a felony to expose “private parts” in the Tar Heel State.
 
Indecent exposure is already illegal statewide, and many cities and towns have their own laws restricting the baring of women’s breasts. Not Asheville, a liberal town in the N.C. mountains, which is where this all began.
 
Back in August a dozen women took their shirts off at an Asheville rally to promote gender equality.
 
Little did they know the anarchy they were revealing. Rep. Rayne Brown (R), co-sponsored the bill, saying that while it may seem frivolous and even funny, “there are communities across this state, there’s local governments across this state, and also local law enforcement for whom this issue is really not a laughing matter,” according to WRAL in Raleigh, N.C.
 
If you need a cultural contrast to the furious N.C. legislating, consult San Francisco’s legal nudity ban, which is simply trying to get men to put some pants on around town, and which is considered by some to be unfairly restrictive.
 
Meanwhile, this guy at an N.C. State basketball game and captured in a GIF by SBNation, appears to be well within his rights.
