Alabama Bans Wine Labeled with picture of Nymphet
Was surfing the tubes today and found this ironic piece. Seems Alabama is getting somewhat protectionist of their much praised wine industry. Wouldn't want those red-necks in Alabama drinking anything but the finest shine now would we.
A wine label showing a nude nymph is too racy for Alabama's liquor control agency, which has told restaurants and stores not to sell the product.
The label on Cycles Gladiator wine, produced by Hahn Family Wines in Soledad, California, shows a vintage 1895 bicycle advertising poster with a nude nymph flying beside a winged bicycle.
The Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control Board recently sent a letter to stores and restaurants telling them not to sell the wine because the label had been rejected by the agency. Alabama liquor regulations prohibit labels that are offensive or immodest. Hahn Family Wines president Bill Leigon says the wine has been sold nationwide without any complaints until now.
Once again, government gone to far.
Please let me know if that label makes you masturbate against your will or inspires you toward a corrupt or indecent lifestyle!
