Coming to Their Senses

It is reported that police in Virginia Beach are seeking to drop obscenity charges against an Abercrombie and Fitch manager for two slightly revealing posters that were seized in a raid.
(Deputy City Attorney Mark)Stiles said Monday afternoon that the city concluded that, the photos might technically meet the nudity portion of the City Code that makes it a crime to display "obscene materials in a business that is open to juveniles." But they thought it would be difficult to meet the other standards of the law, which say the display needed to appeal to prurient interersts, have no redeeming artistic merit and be offensive to the prevailing standards in the community.

Stiles said, of the photo with the men "You might see that typical vision walking down a street." [hamptonroads.com]
