We're Not In Kansas Anymore

The Kansas legislature recently passed legislation that increased the minimum age for Kansas residents to get married. The ol' stick-in-the-mud legislators decided that the current minimum age for marriage (with parental consent) of 12 was too low, and instead are bumping that number all the way up to 16.

There was one brave protector of freedom that voted against the law, saying she didn't want to limit Kansans facing the most important decision of their young lives. I guess no one pointed out to her that the 12 year olds are usually not the most discerning, let alone any nutbag parents that would even entertain the thought of letting someone marry their child at age 12.

But more importantly, has anyone considered the impact that this legislation will have on the Sheen Kidz's "Lil' Wedding Dress" clothing line? What's he going to do with all those XS garters? Sad...
