What's next? They start throwing you in jail if you have a certain kind of dream while sleeping?

I remember a similar case where this was ruled to be protected under the first amendment. This is fucking bullshit.

So can they throw people in jail for writing a story about Bart having sex too?

Ever hear of fantasy? WOW...

They probably will start throwing you in jail just for thinking dirty thoughts.
