For those of you who have missed the news out of Texas, there is a bill passed in the State House of Representatives which has just been passed to outlaw sexy cheerleaders. Yahoo has a short synopsis of it here http://au.news.yahoo.com/050504/19/u764.html

If you didn't see The Daily Show tonight then watch the rebroadcast tomorrow night. The lampoon that they did on the entire situation is hysterical. That means funny if you don't live in Texas and tragic if you do.

If you are like me and from Texas, you were probably thinking "What excuse can I use for not telling people that I'm from Texas?". Well, here's another excuse to use.

People wonder why I moved my email account to New Zealand. I can only say that it's cheaper than the Witness Protection Program. :D

OK, I thought the idea of cheerleaders was to get you to cheer. Hard to do, if they can't get your attention...Such is life, however. You can't even see that much in the strip clubs locally, thanks to our city council's public nudity law. I live in the city limits, and can't work, or even mow my lawn w/out a shirt on, it *may cause sexual arousal for someone of the opposite sex.* I'd shout, I would hope, but...

LOL Antryg...nah I'll admit it. It's a big state with a lot of people, 'bout 28 million. We can't all be that lame right? ;)

There's a post in the CE forum, btw.

No, that the players' job. Their actions on the field should be enough to make people cheer, if not, then they are a pretty crappy team, no ? Or the fans overthere are pretty sad, tha's also a possibilty of course. :D

If they are gonna ban sexy cheerleaders. How about having cheerleaders made up of handsome young man? We call it handsome cheerleader. Imagine a group of male carrying pompom and start to cheer. " Give me an I-R-O-N-W-O-R-K-S. What it spell? IRONWORKS!! YAYYYYYY!!! " :D

Huh...

So much for watching the Cowboys [img]tongue.gif[/img]

it has nothing to do with the dallas cowboy's cheerleaders. it is designed to protect CHILDREN, those cheering in highschool and those highschoolers watching. and yes i am calling highschool kids children, just because some show maturity doesn't make them all adults.

LOL, well, Antryg, you could always say you're from Fiji or someplace else! :D

I think this is a no-brainer, though. I mean if a particular high school squad is too 'vulgar' you'd expect the coaches, parents and school to be aware and to make them change things for that particular cheer etc.

Oh well, maybe you could wear a halter and shake your booty...they can legislate you out of TX! :D

Look, I think this is a stupid idea proposed by stupid people in a State that has its fair share of stupidity. However, this turd:

... gets added to my list of "People Who Timber Promises to Punch in the Nose if Given the Chance." I'd like to put this wanker in a burka and make him my little prison beeee-atch.

Just the fact that the schools were doing nothing about this stuff shows that they are not looking out for the best interests of these kids. And the parents have to shoulder some of the blame too. If I went to a football game and saw my daughter doing one of those cheers, guaranteed she wouldn't finish that cheer. And whoever ran the program would be meeting some very mean attornies.


Oh look, I'm a Manshoon again.
