NJ Ninny's Seek To Ban Brazilians

No, not the people from South America that seem to have such an unusually high concentration of sexy women:
New Jersey is drawing the line when it comes to bikini waxing.
The state Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling is moving toward a ban on genital waxing altogether after two women reported being injured in their quest for a smooth bikini line.
Both women were hospitalized for infections following so-called “Brazilian” bikini waxes; one of the women has filed a lawsuit, according to Jeff Lamm, a spokesman for New Jersey’s Division of Consumer Affairs, which oversees the cosmetology board.
Technically, genital waxing has never been allowed — only the face, neck, abdomen, legs and arms are permitted — but because bare-it-all “Brazilians” weren’t specifically banned, state regulators haven’t enforced the law.
Ugh…technically, it has.
Do I really need to go into much detail about why it’s stupid to ban elective activity over a few people getting hurt? Really? Nah…I don’t.
