A decision that tears at the very fabric of society

Today the Supreme Court ruled against the "Bong Hits for Jesus" kid. In case you hadn't heard, a high school kid displayed this sign when the Olympic torch passed through on its way Salt Lake City in 2002.

Now that is just some good old fashioned fun! But apparently the sign could be interpreted as promoting drug use, and the supreme court agrees that the term "bong hits" could refer to the smoking of drugs.
It's news to me:

Student Joseph Frederick said the banner's language was meant to be nonsensical and funny, a prank to get on television as the Winter Olympic torch relay passed by the school in Juneau, Alaska.
But school officials say the phrase "bong hits" refers to smoking marijuana. Principal Deborah Morse suspended Frederick for 10 days because she said the banner advocated or promoted illegal drug use in violation of school policy.

Well at least someone is looking out for the children. Bong hits 4 Jesus? Jesus twern't no hippie you damn dirty, uh, hippies!

But seriously, why is the highest court in the land ruling on the interpretation of the phrase bong hits? Isn't their other things they can be doing -- like awarding Anna Nicole Smith her late husband's estate or deciding a presidential election. You know, important stuff.

I can't wait til they ban talking about drugs on the internets.

Ahhhhhhh....greh. Whatever.

You know Jesus got high.
