There are days that I’m ashamed to be living in the same state as some people. This is one of them:

Texas House Moves To Ban Risque Cheerleading

..the bill does not specifically define bawdy performances. Democratic state Representative Al Edwards of Houston argued that lascivious exhibitions are a distraction for high school students that result in pregnancies, high school dropouts, contraction of AIDS and herpes and, quote, “cutting off their youthful life at an early age.”

Yeah, you get aids from watching the cheerleaders at a high school football game.

Do these people know nothing about Texas high school football? 99% of the people there don’t even know we HAVE cheerleaders.
