Santa's Butt Can Be Displayed

Well, it can be displayed on beer bottles at least, according the Maine Bureau of Liquor Enforcement. Last month I wrote about a First Amendment case in the State of Maine concerning a beer bottle label showing a cartoon of a bare-bottomed Santa. According the Associated Press, the State of Maine will allow bottles with this label to be sold in stores. State officials admitted that a Court would probably find that the labels are protected by the First Amendment's free speech provision.
