Talibanesque Fundy wants to stop sexually suggestive cheerleaders!
I want America, the way everyone likes America, sexy and free!

And if they even think about toning down those very beautiful Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders, there'll be hell to pay!

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - The Friday night lights in Texas could soon be without bumpin' and grindin' cheerleaders. Legislation filed by Rep. Al Edwards would put an end to "sexually suggestive" performances at athletic events and other extracurricular competitions.

"It's just too sexually oriented, you know, the way they're shaking their behinds and going on, breaking it down," said Edwards, a 26-year veteran of the Texas House. "And then we say to them, 'don't get involved in sex unless it's marriage or love, it's dangerous out there' and yet the teachers and directors are helping them go through those kind of gyrations."

Under Edwards' bill, if a school district knowingly permits such a performance, funds from the state would be reduced in an amount to be determined by the education commissioner.

Edwards said he filed the bill as a result of several instances of seeing such ribald performances in his district.

J.M. Farias, owner of Austin Cheer Factory, said cheerleading aficionados would welcome the law. Cheering competitions, he said, penalize for suggestive movements or any vulgarity.

2. As my mother used to say.....
he's just a dirty old man. Probably sees sexual undertones in everything.

All those men sweating climbing all over each other. Disgusting! How can they possibly continue to bash homosexuals when they allow such behavior as wrestling!:mad:
