There is a proposed law at the Lesterslature to outlaw naughty photoshopping. Crusading blogger Andre Walker gives some examples. The page sometimes has a fundraising ad for Paul Broun, US Senate 2014.
The helpful illustration shows the lawmaker’s face, pasted on the body of an adult actor. The face, and body, are the same race. The naughty parts on the picture are pixillated, or so it is hoped. If the actor’s prop really looks like that, then he has worse problems than being involved in Georgia politics.
A Savannah newspaper has the 411 on this threat to our freedom, Nude photo spurs action on Georgia House bill. “An Augusta legislator has found himself the victim of the type of photo manipulation that he is working to outlaw. Rep. Earnest Smith is cosponsoring House Bill 39 that would make it a misdemeanor with a $1,000 fine. It is authored by fellow Democrat Pam Dickerson of Conyers who first introduced it last year in response to online attacks of a teenaged girl. “We need to do something.”
Smith said Monday that he learned last week that someone had digitally pasted his head on the body of a nude man, but he doesn’t know who did it. “I could not venture to give you an answer,” he said. The bill received no action last year, but Smith hopes this year will be different, perhaps because the picture targeting him illustrates how vulnerable all politicians are. “It can be done to anyone at any time.”
So far, he has heard no objections from free-speech advocates defending the Constitution’s First Amendment. “No one has a right to make fun of anyone. You have a right to speak, but no one has a right to disparage another person. It’s not a First Amendment right,” he said.”
It is not certain if Mr. Smith’s bill is even in consideration this year. If you google “georgia house bill 39,” you get this: “… declarations of intent and attendance records for home study programs are submitted to the Department of Education rather than local school superintendents; to provide that notice by local school systems to parents relating to unexcused absences may be made by United States mail;”
In Virginia, HB 39 has a different meaning. “Causing telephone to ring with intent to annoy. Provides that a second or subsequent conviction of the Class 3 misdemeanor of causing a telephone or digital pager to ring with intent to annoy is a Class 2 misdemeanor.”
This is written like David Foster Wallace.
