Stupid Alabama Laws

Wow...these guys who wrote these laws must be some really STUPID, backward-ass people. Out of all 50 states I've searched.....Alabama has some of the STUPIDEST laws on record....in my opinion of course.

Kites may not be flown within the city limits. (Chicago)

Guess that explains why I have never actually seen one in person.

[ViRaL1]

I've done it. :P

[Conquest10]

Now this I doubt if it is a real law.

[ViRaL1]

Done that too. Man, I'm SUCH a rebel. :P

[Conquest10]

Dating services are also illegal in Chicago.

[ViRaL1]

2 outta 3 ain't bad. I know of at least one radio station that kinda sorta runs one, by phone. They advertised it all the time when I was there.

[Conquest10]

Which one?

[ViRaL1]

94.7 The Zone. I think it's called The Dating Zone.

[Conquest10]

It looks like what they got is actually legal. The law says making money off of it is illegal.

[ViRaL1]

Not sure how many of these are dating services, but at least one so far is.
