That Fucking Elf...

[Greg]

Whaddya mean? Elf on the Shelf is…freaking…EVERYWHERE!

Maybe it's because so many of the people I'm around still have young kids, but you just can't escape this thing.

No, it's really not.

So how does Fred Phelps get to do what he does with all these laws regarding nooses and swastikas floating about?

So how does Fred Phelps get to do what he does with all these laws regarding nooses and swastikas floating about?

Because he is very intelligent in his stupidity, and knows how to toe up to that line.

Ity's kindasorta why waving Nazi flags in front of the holocaust museum is [strike]verboten[/strike] the same kind of pants-wetting hysteria over an inanimate object, signifying that in some people's heads, Godwin's Law carries more weight than does the Bill of Rights.

FIFY

Mass hysteria is not a defense for jackholian counter-rational flights of jurisprudence, and once again, waving a Nazi flag - anyfuckingwhere - is an act of protected free speech, and any such statute is indefensible and unconstitutional here prima facie.

[Yogimus]

Ok, good luck with that.

Phelps' church is made up almost entirely of his family. They are all lawyers. Who would know better how to toe the line?

[Greg]

Ok, good luck with that.

Uh, that whole Nazi free speech thing... that's already been settled. And Aesop isn't wrong.

[Yogimus]

Depends on the jurisdiction and the method of implementation.

Dragging this back on topic, sort of...

The elf is worse than you thought
