That Tennessee law is particularly crazy:

> (a) Pubic hair, vulva, vagina, penis, testicles, anus, or nipple of a human body

Naked bodies do not harm anyone. This is US puritanism at its peek. Glad the author also pointed out the hypocrisy of treating nudity as more obscene than violence.

Interestingly (and I suppose fairly?) the law doesn't seem to make a distinction between male and female nipples. So an image of a shirtless man violates this just as much as an image of a shirtless woman.

I also noticed that! Certainly speaks of the intelligence of the people who write these laws :)
