How the ACLU saved Christmas

According to Katie Zezima of the NY Times, Santa’s ass is on the line in Maine. Santa’s rump is just too risqué for the Maine Bureau of Liquor Enforcement. The bureau rejected the label seen above because “the label violated a regulation stating that alcohol advisements cannot contain ‘undignified or improper illustrations’. Now I don’t know much about undignified or improper illustrations, however Santa’s COVERED butt is far from those two ambiguous categories. So as all good ACLU lawyers do, they have come to the rescue of not only Santa’s ass but also all of Christendom. “The Maine Civil Liberties Union sued the bureau on Thursday in US District Court in Portland on behalf of Shelton Brothers, claiming that its right to free speech was being violated.” Santa and Christmas are once again safe from the evils of censorship and all those who oppose a good pint of porter.
