Default freedom of speech?

From http://myrockport.com/world.htm

A three-judge panel of the Michigan Court of Appeals declared that the
talking penis, nicknamed Dick Smart, telling "purportedly humorous"
jokes on a Grand Rapids, Michigan, public access cable television
channel constituted indecent exposure.

The court let stand a one-day jail sentence already served by the show's
creator, Timothy Huffman.

Wednesday's ruling contained a transcript of the three-minute segment
that aired twice in 2000, including the voice-over lines delivered in
the style of the late comedian Rodney Dangerfield: "Hi, I'm Dick Smart.
I am a comedian, yeah, stand up, ha."

Huffman could not immediately be reached for comment but he told the
Detroit Free Press newspaper he planned to appeal in defence of his
right to freedom of speech.

You didn't make fun?

Toad said "That was a state court hahahaha"
Looks like making fun to me!

The toad caught in yet another lie.
I didn't need to interpret the law toad, And It says in my post that he
planned to appeal in defense of his right to freedom of speech. I
didn't need to post the laws and the producers names of the shows, and I
bet if We look at goggled would find at least 20 sites with info! That's
part of your problem, redundancy. Every time you post something should I
c&p the info from the ARRL also?
The main question for you to answer is WHAT EDUCATIONAL VALUE IS A
TALKING PENIS? You going to put one of those on your show?
Shifting to toadebonics:
OH weight, you already dew have one.

Some Moron Said

Public Access doesn't have to be Educational. It adult entertainment
and it was aired after 10pm even in broadcasting if aired at that time
would be legal.

,,,,and another link

http://www.freep.com/news/latestnews...0_20050511.htm


he's going to file an appeal to the Michigan Supreme Court....Wait unit
it hit's the federal Court, they will throw the state's ruling out. The
Supreme Court has already ruled on indcency on public access back in
1996. (See Denver Area Educational Telecommunications Consortium Inc.
vs. FCC)
In that case the U.S. Supreme Court rulied that indecent material on
public access was protected by the First Amendment.

At first I thought somebody was faking the toad (like anybody would want
to). But then I saw "Wait unit" did he mean "weight unit? Pounds?
ounces? Grams? Maybe the toad can come to Michigan and represent Mr.
Timothy Huffman, since the toad is always the expert.

I sure hope you can wax floors and flip hamburgers, Todd, because
you'll never make it as a English teacher!
