omg..so dont flame me on this one....im usually a bush supporter....but my god this one...he truely is a dumbSH1T for this...incredibly retarded bill...and whats even more crazy...i think i lost my mind by i actually agree with the ACLU on this:

"The use of the word 'annoy' is particularly problematic," says Marv Johnson, legislative counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union. "What's annoying to one person may not be annoying to someone else."

but man...now i guess i have to shoot myself

Many of you are now felons. Your names and addresses will be available for public scrutiny on DVD-ROM and online, similar to that of sex offenders under Megan's Law. Look for a future CA government web site called reallyannoyingpeople.gov.
