WTF?"

I'll tell you WTF:

About 10 years ago a friend of mine started an FM Salsa music station here in Houston. The "Houston Mexican-American Chamber of Commerce" sued him because Salsa music was "contaminating" the Mexican culture. I knew some members of the Mex C of C. I used to see them all the time in.....the Salsa clubs here. How rich is that?

Hold on to your chair.

They won. He was required to reduce power output from 100% to 10%. The Mexican-American judge said that he couldn't abridge 1st amendments rights, otherwise, he would have shut down the station completely. As it was, 10% of power reached no one so my friend had to shut down the station anyway.
