Hasta la Vista, Sickos

The Lord of Truth sends along this story, which demonstrates that the Terminator has continued to pick up essential points about politics. Here, he takes on an issue which no one will dispute...

Having sex with corpses is now officially illegal in California after Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill barring necrophilia, a spokeswoman says.

The new legislation marks the culmination of a two-year drive to outlaw necrophilia in the state and will help prosecutors who have been stymied by the lack of an official ban on the practice, according to experts.

Politically, this is like launching a campaign against teenage alcoholism. No one in their right mind opposes this law, although the Lord does make a rather pointed reference to how the new law may impact Barbara Walters' marriage. But Arnold even chooses an area in which he might be accorded some deference -- who knows more about dead bodies than a movie actor who's probably killed at least a 1,000 people on the big screen?

Jokes aside, how disturbing is the fact that prosecutors have to deal with enough crimes of this type that they need such a law?
