The state attorney general claims that Utah's laws are similar to other states, though I'm dubious on that one (if it's true, very few states follow the laws). Find more information here: http://attorneygeneral.utah.gov/pornogr ... rnlaws.htm
It should be noted, that our Porn Czar was let go due to lack of funds to fund her great anti porn jihad. :roll: That was one of the most stupid things this state has ever done, having a porn czar in the first place.

As to porn-illegal-Utah, depends on what you call porn. Playboy and shit, no problem. Porn tapes, well head for Eveningston, Wy.


Edit;
Had to expand a point, or else it would have suggested that I am against porn (NOT THE CASE).

So you can't rent porn tapes or DVD's in Utah because of religious influence over the government?

I reiterate my earlier statement: it's a shithole.

And an entirely justified statement it is, my lord. Every diner I've been to in the state of Utah has refused to serve me a rare steak. I don't even get that, is it just because they're retarded or is it because of their retarded religion?
No porn, no beer, no rare meat, and overtreated drinking water make Homer something something.

Yes Utah is a shithole. The only redeeming factor being my grandparents live in Salt Lake.

The religious influence over the goverment is the sithole, Utah isn't. Funny enough, on the LDS office building in downtown SLC, they were kind enough to announce their intensions. Their logo is the globe (world domonation) *shudders*.

Where the hell are you eating? I eat rare and medium rare all the time? And I drink beer all the time. :roll:

Maybe it was a county thing or something, but I shit you not, in southern Utah, you will not find a Denny's (or Denny's analogue [p.s. kudos to whoever catches that reference]) which will serve you a rare steak.
That pissed me the fuck off.

And yes, you drink beer, but you do recognize that there are far too many obstacles in the beer-getting process in Utah, yes?

*shrug* I don't spend an appreciable amount of time down south, except on my way through to Las Vegas and the such. However, the few times I have eaten in say St. George, I have had no problem in getting what I want. St. George has become something of a tourist spot due to the inordinate amount of golf courses there and the hot ass weather most of the year around. It would be economicly stupid to not sell rare meat to a costomer.

Maybe you should not go to Denny's if they won't give you a good steak (red and juicy). :P Truely, I have not been to a Denny's is many a year, and wouldn't get a steak there if I did go. But alass, different people, different strokes.

Not really, what pisses me off, is trying to get some wine and booze. Beer is sold at grocery stores (though it is low point) but the only place to get liquor is the state liquor store. High point beer is also there. I lived in California for a while, and in comparison to Utah, it is hard to get booze of any sort here. But if you want a beer, you can get one, or two, or three.... If you want a drink with dinner, you can get one. Its a pain, but not to any great amount. I have far bigger problems with the Church...I mean Goverment....I mean Churerment....what ever.... than the booze situation.
