Yes, it is. This isn't a public airwaves broadcast--the FCC isn't involved.

Oh really... a law that directly goes against the First Amendment in the name of making money for the state?

Nawwwww... can't be.


Profanity is not protected speech. Just like 'fighting words' are not.


Actually, it is.

Cohen vs California went all the way to the US Supreme Court.

Well, that's pretty fucked up.


$20 please.

Dude.. seriously? Pay a $20 fine or get the chance on getting arrested, being put into cuffs (maybe even a straight jacket if I can manage to go a little nuts) then off to jail where I get a body cavity search then thrown into a cage with a bunch of other women who have not had sex in who knows how long.

No brainer. ::holds out wrists for the cuffs::

A fantasy come true. I wish I lived in MA.
