I mentioned this to a friend, whose immediate thought was:

You are now leaving a “Smiley-free zone”!
A public service message brought to you by G.R.O.S.S.
Here’s a link to the article, by the way, if anyone’s interested.
Yeah, now that they’ve eradicated every social problem, let’s go for those pesky erections.
Some drink at the fountain of knowledge…others just gargle.
From the article linked by tiny cow:
Is this law already keeping the hoosiers down?
Relaxed fit pants and baggy suits for every guy in Mississippi.
To say nothing of priapism. (medical term for boner that just wont quit)
is there a provision in the law for those with medical excuses? 
–Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary from dictionary.com
Oh, come on, it’s just for show…I mean, what politician in his right mind will vote against this bill? Might as well say, “I’m FOR public boners!” even if that’s not remotely why they oppose the bill.
Same thing happened with the Communications Decency Act. No Congressman would dare vote against it for fear of being branded as “FOR kiddie porn!”
IIRC-there was a proposed law, I think in AZ a few yers ago, that would ban clothing that
you could make out male genitals underneath. (i.e. jogging shorts, tight sweats, speedos, etc…)
The people who support such laws best stay away from San Francisco during Gay Pride, Folsom Street Leather Fair, & Halloween. 
“If we would have new knowledge,
we must get a world of new questions”
We could design some shoulder patches that say “Boner Patrol,” and round up the offenders in the “Woody Wagon.”
This Senator is an upstanding man, bravely thrusting forth into new areas of law. He is obviously well-endowed with a rigid morality, and is not afraid to appear wooden and unsympathetic when protecting our children from such filth, even while members of the legislature with a weak, flaccid moral stance merely swing in the direction of popular opinion. His willingness to be firm in his opinions even at the risk of being impotent in the polls compared to his limp-willed colleagues is commendable. Sure, some bleeding-hearts will arouse a public outcry, claiming that it is an assault on our hard-won liberties, but I will remain firm in my sentiment that we should erect a statue to show our gratitude to this fine, upstanding man!
(I suspect that the law is actually aimed at rock-stars (or wannabes) who wear those tight leather pants that leave one in no doubt as to the state of the wearer’s member.)

I say we should steal some NRA slogans.
“If erections are outlawed, only outlaws will have erections.”
“I have an erection and I vote.”
“Erection control means not ejaculating prematurely.”
“You can have my erection when you pry it out off my cold dead hand.”
Okay that last one may need some work.
It could always be enacted as a ‘secondary offense’ kind of like not wearing a seatbelt. Cops wouldn’t be able to stop you for wielding a public boner, but could cite you if they happened to notice it while frisking you for something else. 
Of course think of the entrapment issues! “But your honor, I wasn’t hard until he patted me down!”
ROTFLMAO! That’s priceless! (Died with a smile on his face, I’m sure!)

Is this actual free standing legislation, or is it a rider? I’ve heard of state legislators attatching absurd riders to pieces of legislation that they were opposed to in the hopes that other assemblymen would vote against the bill in order to keep the rider from becoming law. It’s basically a stalling tactic. But some such laws have gotten onto the books.
In Kansas: When two trains shall meet at a crossing, both shall come to a complete stop, and neither shall proceed until the other has gone.
In Florida, it is illegal to have sexual relations with a porcupine. I wonder if this law applies to other porcupines, or if they have to leave the state during mating season, thus risking being arrested for a Mann Act violation.
The trouble with Sir Launcelot is by the time he comes riding up, you’ve already married King Arthur.
That link didn’t provide a whole lot of detail, but it seems quite discriminatory to me. I mean, what about male dancers? It’s their job to be stiff in public.
Or aren’t there any male dancers in Mississippi?

Is that a pickle in your pants or are you just happy to arrest me?
Anyway, what about women? Would they be arrested for having a wet spot?
