It is illegal to distress others

WHAT. Just... what.

So. Tennessee passed a law forbidding people to display images that might distress people. And not just the intended recipient, either-- anyone who may happen to see it.

I can only begin to image how this law could be abused, and how it could be spread to the rest of the country. This is a hardcore WTF if I ever saw one. Read this and pass it on.
