Having sex with corpses is now officially illegal in California after Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill barring necrophilia, a spokeswoman said on Friday.
Was this really a problem? I had no idea.
And they’ve been working real hard at it. Took them two years to pass this.
I’m really looking for a April 1 dateline here, but no!
Dang it. You beat me by ten minutes.
I guess I’m not going to California for that special vacation this year.
So does this mean:
[ul]
[li]Arnie’s dead serious about stamping out the problem, or[/li][li]This is just another dearly departed liberty squashed by the governator, or just[/li][li]All things must pass, as with this bill.[/li][/ul]
Someone asked me earlier “Why was necrophilia not outlawed before this?!” And sounded outraged and shocked. All I could say was: “Well, y’know, I guess it never occurred to the lawmakers that it would need to be outlawed. It’s just common sense. Don’t have sex with corpses. If you actually have to pass a law about it, there’s a problem.”
I mean, really, people, how hard is it to figure out? Having sex with dead people is not a good thing. I don’t care how desparate you are. You should not have to be told not to. :smack:

No more sucking down a cold on after work?

Maybe he’s just laying the groundwork for his next movie?
We can still feltch dead goats though, can’t we?
Guess that cuts California out of the Dead’s next tour.
They’ll take my corpse from me when they prise my cold, dead fingers from it’s…er…cold, dead…er…
Oh good, an excuse to share my favorite joke about necrophilia.
Q: What did the necrophile say to the corpse?
A: Is that rigor mortis, or are you just happy to see me?
I’m always amazed at how bills like this even get started. What state legislator stands up one hot afternoon, hooks a thumb in his suspenders, and says, “Friends and colleagues, now that we’ve got the budget pretty much hashed out, I’d like to address a little problem we’re having down in my county. Seems the good folks who elected me, well, they’ve turned out to be a bunch of perverts who can’t get enough hot rotting maggoty love. The funeral home’s changing their locks every week and the cemetery’s just a mess 'cause nobody’s replacing their divots, if you know what I mean. So I’m introducing Senate #3101, banning the sale of condoms, air freshening agents and shovels all in the same place of business, and further designating August as ‘get your filthy hands offa them mortal remains’ month…”
I don’t what to deaden the humor, but there are real necrophiliacs. People working in funeral homes have been known to give it a go when they are alone with a corpse. Others really have gone and dug up bodies. If it were your departed love one, wouldn’t you want there to be a law on the books with an appropriate punishment for it?
Poor Buffy and Angel. Another obstacle in their path to happiness.
No. If you can think of some outrageous behavior, no matter how bizarre, there’s someone who will do it and probably has, but I don’t think that each product of our twisted species’ evil imagination should have a specific law attached to it. In the present instance, I think that the inevitable results of people finding out that you have sex with corpses, along with losing your job or your business, possibly getting sued, plus (for those enthusiasts not in the business) a B&E or trespass conviction, can be counted on for a just outcome. With respect to professor Ochoa, his statement that “a handful of instances over the past decade is enough” to justify a bill strikes me as plain silly. This is also the kind of thing that is very prone to create bad law with repercussions elsewhere. Will the law create a new class of crime victim, one that doesn’t have to be a living person? Will it assert a property interest in Aunt Susie’s corpse? Nobody will know until the courts have to deal with it, which they may even if noone is ever prosecuted under the statute.
Ja, it’s those ghoulie-men again. The governor just can’t get loose from that joke. :rolleyes:
And we can’t get loose from that joke that is the governor. So it balances out. 
:::: Looks up from dead corpse’s Y-incision::::
Glad I’m not in California.
:::: Goes back to work ::::
[Cheap political shot] It’s all a ploy to stop Bill and Hillary visiting. I mean, she’s so frigid, how’ll he be able to tell?[/Cheap]
Arnie finally stands up to the Radical Necro Agenda! Cancel the Pride Parade!
Just incase people didn’t realise already that Arnie is an idiot. :rolleyes:
