half an ass = obscenity
 

"Police, saying they were responding to citizen complaints, carted away two large promotional photographs from the Abercrombie & Fitch store in Lynnhaven Mall on Saturday and cited the manager on obscenity charges."

Someone needs to get a real job :1orglaugh

thats fucking nuts.

I think three fags running shirtless thru a field , one with his pants undone and crack showing has no place in a fucking mall ... obscene or not.

Juicy D. Links is almost always a "complete ass" and I don't even find him = obscenity.

The U.S. is so lame

They're going to drop all charges.

Free promo for Abercrombie I suppose.

in that case you might as well remove all victorias secret posters from the walls of their stores as well...can't have naked women on the walls in a mall either!

I am in love with the Lane Bryant manniquins.

They did the right thing by dropping charges.. It would indeed be hard to prove obscenity by adult standards in their community..

Half an ass cheek.. land of the free? Yep right..

that's crazy

Only in America

haha, taken from the comments below on that article's page:

".. Two old ladies living in a house together, call police about a man sunbathing in the nude in his backyard, at the house way down the hill from the old ladies. When the policeman arrives, he looks out the window and confesses that he cannot see a darn thing! OF COURSE YOU CAN'T replies one of the ladies , You're NOT USING THE BINOCULARS! "

I think the people that are offended by the ad have a very deep rooted problem, which has nothing to do with the ad.

Given the choice, many people will choose to find something to complain about rather than focus on how pathetic and miserable their own lives are.

:thumbsup
Valid.

Reminds me of a story I'd seen a while back about people protesting first the mannequins at a victories secret in a mall which they gave up on. Then they protested that the mall had a bench right in front of the victorias secret location and young boys would sit there sometimes. So the mall moved the fucking bench.

Freaking whacko's dont realise that THEY'RE THE ONLY ONES WHO THINK OF SUCH THINGS IN A SEXUAL WAY.

THAT is "perversion" for you. If some people had their way, women would wear ankle length skirts with neck fully covered, stand in front of a stove and pop out a child every year until she was infertile then die. Completely obscene.

Thats not even half an ass, it's just the top of the crack. Man, people are so lame here sometimes.

I agree with the ticket. They should have to close all their stores if you ask me. Will make malls a much quieter, less smelly, and gay free area.

I would like to state that I'm not against gay people however I am against all the noise pollution that these stores produce in every mall I have ever seen them in. As well as the asthma attacks it almost always triggers when walking by with my girl.

Plumbers show more crack than that. lol I figure when the local DA considered the shit storm that would rain down on him.He decided to drop the case.

Glad it's cleared up now, I wonder why he didn't tell the cops to take a hike and come back with a warrant?

Retarded

Yeah some guy making 9 bucks a hour is going to get all Al Capone with the cops. lol

Virginia Beach has VERY strict laws about what may be worn on their boardwalk areas. This is just a carry over of those same ordinances.

This is an example of abused power, a great example. The manager could have easily denied them access, asked for a warrant, and for counsel to be present since it's a business, he could have even forced them to provide counsel. It would be different if they raided him, but since it wasn't a criminal offense..

Overall, the entire thing is so dirty, just another example of the police state that we live in and how easy it is for cops to abuse the power given to them.

It's sad.

I should start taking pictures of Victoria Secrets store and rub my crotch while doing it and moan.

The the Abercrombie & Fitch store at west ed has a huge, billboard sized half naked guy you have to walk passed to get in.... No one cares....

It should be law that all pictures on public display should be no larger than 1px by 1px so as not to offend any assholes.
