The men in this Wrestlemania billboard, if you look closely, have no nipples. They were photoshopped out because of a law in Florida that prohibits the display of nipples.
Suppose that sort of silly mindset has anything to do with this:
Florida's population is increasing at the slowest pace in 30 years, which will put a damper on economic growth, University of Florida researchers said Thursday.
