Senator Wants To Change State's "Porn-Friendly" Image

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- In the eyes of one Missouri legislator, the show-me state needs to tone down its image -- as far as the adult entertainment industry is concerned.

"Travelers in our state are being sent a signal that Missouri is a porn-friendly state," said State Sen. Matt Bartle. To combat that, Bartle has sponsored a measure for a sin tax.

The proposal cleared the state Senate with little debate on Monday. The legislation needs another vote to move to the House.

Under the bill, tipping strippers would be illegal, as would any physical contact between exotic dancers and their customers. Total nudity would be banned, and no one under 21 could work in such businesses.

The legislation also would impose a $5 per customer charge for sexually oriented businesses, from strip clubs to adult bookstores, and a 20 percent tax on revenues. The provisions are similar to what casinos in the state already must pay.

Bartle, a Republican, said the restrictions and taxes are necessary to combat problems such as prostitution, juvenile delinquency and declining property values

And my parents wonder why I don't move back home. I got out of that state when I turned 24. I was there when Asscraft was the states Attorney General and I had just graduated High School the year before he was elected Governor.

In all my years there, born and raised, I never once thought of Missouri as a 'Porn Friendly' state.

You have to remember that the people who are claiming Missouri is a porn friendly state are the same ones who would probably label People magazine as porn.

Between the clown they just elected governor and the state legislature, I am sure as hell glad I'm gone.

Makes sense... it is after all the SHOW ME state!

:yowsa:

PD - People Magazine porn... you're right... my grandma complains all the time about the slutty outfits the celebs wear in there when she gets her subscribed copy every month... the one she's had for years & years since I was little... like everyone else she expresses shock and outrage, but can't wait for the new issue to arrive. lol
