They should overprint a black censorship bar across the
label, so it complies with Alabama law, and they give away
free posters of the original label with each bottle.


=v= Brilliant!

=v= Lagunitas Censored Copper Ale did something like that,
except in that case it was the federal Alcohol and Tobacco
Tax and Trade Bureau who put the kibosh on their original
label ("The Kronic"). Of course, they can't give away free
samples with their bottles, except for medicinial uses.

I wonder if they make a t-shirt (or jersey) for this wine.
If so, I gotta get one!


=v= This is probably the more persistent URL to start from:

There's a floating dialogue that makes you confess to being
of legal drinking age for the state you're ordering from
if you want to buy a cycling jersey. Alabama is one of the
states accepted (for now).

To make so much fuss about ONE PERSON who is, "posed in an immodest or
sensuous manner", seems rather ridiculous to me.

Why don't we focus more on what it causing Honey Bees to vanish,
globally and what effect that could have on humanity.

I wonder if Alabama bans stock certificates too,
e.g. http://www.scripophily.net/loaicoca.html

Probably there's some law against giving away the poster with the wine.

Just print up some stickers "Banned in Alabama by the Order of the
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board" that go over the image and send them
out to the distributors and retailers to stick on the bottles. Should
send sales skyrocketing.

No one was buying Al Franken's Book, _Lies and the Lying Liars who Tell
Them, A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right_ until Faux sued him,
claiming that they had trademarked "Fair and Balanced."

Thereby helping Alabama to re-affirm their lead as the most backwards
and hypocritical state in the country. "Make all the moonshine you
want boys, just don't put no nudie photos on it".

Of course, just having the bigoted Jeff Sessions as Senator gives them
a lead few states can even attempt to challenge.


Alabama is more backward than 1895 France. No surprise.

Dear Steven,

Why on earth did that wine company pick that silly photo?

Here's the one that they should have used:
