"Vaginas R' Us"
That's what an LA strip-club billboard proclaims, for all and sundry to read.
Okay, kind of funny. But completely inappropriate.
Traditionalists and so-called South Park Republicans split on a number of moral and social issues, but I think we can agree that this is out-of-bounds.
As a South Park Republican, yes, I want access to dirty stuff, and I don't like the idea of anything of an adult nature being controlled by the state to "protect the children."
On the other hand, protecting the children really is an important priority, and society should not countenance such blatantly-sexual public come ons.
"Private behavior" is, um, "private." A big billboard announcing easy access to vaginas is not private, it's public.
So yes, I support a liberal view on truly private choices. But no one cruising down this strip of road is making a choice, private or otherwise.
