Cretinous pornographer Larry Flynt’s publication, already an unlikely champion of the 1st Amendment, finds itself embroiled in another constitutional issue.
I’m no lawyer–you’ll have to decide for yourselves who’s in the right.
What I do know is that if the pictures weren’t good enough to find their way into Flynt’s protien-plastered gash gallery before the unfortunate woman’s murder, a horrible death won’t make them any sexier.
Read the story that’s brimming with ick: Justices: Slain wrestling star’s family can sue Hustler over nude pics – CNN.com.

Johnny Depp will be lending his talents to the CBS show 48 Hours on Saturday, making a rare return to television to bring attention to the West Memphis Three.
A star’s involvement with a cause does little to sway me to the rightness of said cause. This is true even with actors and actress whom I like and admire, as many celebrities seem to mistake their fame for correctness. For this reason, I would normally be suspicious of a show featuring Depp, Eddie Vedder, the Dixie Chicks and noted shoplifter-cum-actress, Winona Ryder. However, I have been following the story of the West Memphis Three for years, and for a number of reasons, it resonates deeply with me. Despite the attention this case has received over the years, including two outstanding HBO documentaries (Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills and Paradise Lost 2: Revelations), it still has yet to tickle the greater conscience of the American people, and an injustice remains fully unaddressed.
