Wait, hold the match.
Apparantly the Mississippi library that banned John Stewart's "America" book because of the "nude" photos of the Supreme Court, has reversed their decision in a 5-2 vote by the board.
"We have come under intense scrutiny by the outside community," said David Ables, board chairman. "As a board, we don't decide for the community whether to read this book or not, but whether to make it available."
Board member David Ogborn of Hurley opposed to lifting the ban. "I haven't heard anything but a good response by our decision to keep this material out of our libraries," Ogborn said. "Our libraries are not a trash bin for pornographic materials."
Pornographic? Honey, it's going to take more than a medium sized fake photo of some withered up Supreme Court tits and penises to arouse most red-blooded Americans. Better check the sex ed aisle - oh wait, those books are probably in the porno trash bin, too.
