A DEAD END IN CALIFORNIA.



I guess this is one of those stories that make you shake your head in disbelief. California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has 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. ..."



Lawmakers revived the bill this year after an unsuccessful prosecution of a man found in a San Francisco funeral home drunk and passed out on top of an elderly woman’s corpse. The new law makes sex with a corpse a felony punishable by up to eight years in prison.



To our Californian based readers - what's this all about? Surely things aren't this decadent on the left coast?
