Your Guide to the Arizona Boycott: Porn, Sky Mall, and P.F. Chang's

So you want to protest Arizona's stupid new immigration law by boycotting the state, like San Francisco did. Okay. Can you live without Sky Mall, P.F. Chang's, domain-name registration and internet pornography?

Arizona, the refried-bean swastika state, has made it legal for the police to detain anyone on suspicion of being Mexican. This is a remarkably stupid and harmful law, even for the state that gave us Barry Goldwater, and in response, some people are recommending a boycott of Arizona.

That doesn't sound too bad! We have effectively been boycotting Arizona for years by not thinking about it, or going to it, ever, so this should be pretty easy. And you're aided by the fact that most Arizona businesses suck. Even so, you should cross-check our list to ensure you are fully compliant (all info courtesy the never-wrong internet scholarly location "Wikipedia"):

1. With the exception of replacing the Diamondbacks

with the Yankees I can do this. If it ever came down to the Diamondbacks vs. Yankees fuck it, I'm cheering for the Diamondbacks.

Time to relocate.
