Wow, it's a FELONY to display images of dirty pictures on public libraries in Arizona!!!! For that matter it's a felony to do it in any public places in the state of Arizona!!!!

And just what are "dirty pictures"?

... any drawing, photograph, ... object ... which depicts human genitalia or depicts or verbally describes nudity, sexual activity, sexual conduct, sexual excitement

And just what are "public places"?

... [any place] easily visible or readily accessible from a public thoroughfare, from the property of others, or in any place where minors are invited as part of the general public.

Based on those definitions I guess it is a felony to look at a lot of the posts that are displayed on my cell phone when I check my Facebook messages at McDonalds.

And I bet those Latino "yerberia" stores which sell religious items and health foods are guilty of a felony for keeping those cool penis shaped candles on display. Just Google "penis candles" to see what I am talking about.

Jesus, I guess those government nannies who wrote that silly little law have a lot of extra time on their hands. And of course are a bunch of myopic tyrants who don't find flushing the 1st Amendment down the toilet.
