freedom of speech?
 

From http://myrockport.com/world.htm

A three-judge panel of the Michigan Court of Appeals declared that the
talking penis, nicknamed Dick Smart, telling "purportedly humorous"
jokes on a Grand Rapids, Michigan, public access cable television
channel constituted indecent exposure.

The court let stand a one-day jail sentence already served by the show's
creator, Timothy Huffman.

Wednesday's ruling contained a transcript of the three-minute segment
that aired twice in 2000, including the voice-over lines delivered in
the style of the late comedian Rodney Dangerfield: "Hi, I'm Dick Smart.
I am a comedian, yeah, stand up, ha."

Huffman could not immediately be reached for comment but he told the
Detroit Free Press newspaper he planned to appeal in defence of his
right to freedom of speech.

That was a state court hahahaha

he's going to file an appeal to the Michigan Supreme Court....Wait unit
it hit's the federal Court, they will throw the state's ruling out. The
Supreme Court has already ruled on indcency on public access back in
1996. (See Denver Area Educational Telecommunications Consortium Inc.
vs. FCC)
In that case the U.S. Supreme Court rulied that indecent material on
public access was protected by the First Amendment.

At first I thought somebody was faking the toad (like anybody would want
to). But then I saw "Wait unit" did he mean "weight unit? Pounds?
ounces? Grams? Maybe the toad can come to Michigan and represent Mr.
Timothy Huffman, since the toad is always the expert.

It's wait until it it hits the federal courts.

He already has Alliance for Media and the ACLU and a few other public
access groups representing him
