Take the Poll. Are These T-shirts Offensive?

Here's a poll offered by an Alabama publication.  Based on the abysmal reactions by Orange Beach, FL city officials, we see some of the "obscene" T-shirts.

Additional information on the Orange Beach ordinance will prohibit anyone under 18 entering designated areas where these T-shirts will be located.  Violation of the ordinance could result in a fine up to $500 and jail sentence up to six months in jail.  That seems really harsh.  As noted in another article, the purchaser of the T-shirt can wear the T-shirt in public with no threat of a fine or jail time.  So, who are we actually protecting?

Look at the shirts in the article and you decide if these are offensive and obscene.  If you are predisposed to avoid over-18 areas, you might miss out on some cute and harmless T-shirts.
