You are a sick, sick, sick, person. (Which is why I love you)

Well, crap, that ruins my whole Porn Day shopping plan.

Perhaps a possible adverse secondary effect of selling porn on flag day would be that some of you fine fellas would reach for the flag after flogging, rather than the usual tube sock? Arbor day is tougher to image. :)

Would the ordinance be constitional if it weren’t vague about which days were state holidays?

In this circumstance, possibly. The only reason the ordinance was invalidated was this vagueness.

However, an adult entertainment ordinance must also be drafted to address adverse secondary effects of adult businesses — not to simply make it harder to run one of these businesses. I wonder what secondary effects could be caused by a porn shop being open on Columbus Day, Arbor Day, or Christmas Day.

Well, it’s only fair, because I’m pretty sure you can’t buy flags on Porn Day.

Would the ordinance be constitional if it weren’t vague about which days were state holidays? Admittedly, I haven’t done much in the way of research on the consitutionality of blue laws, but, its my understanding that many have been ruled unconsitutional already.

Appalling. Can you imagine what would happen if you told McDonald’s that they had to close on Flag Day? How is it that a township is able to discriminate based on the kind of products sold?
