Best-seller called obscene

It looks like censorship is alive and well in South Mississippi thanks to the complaints of an unnamed Ocean Springs patron a best seller has been removed from the Jackson George Regional Library shelves.

The complaint was that the work, a collection of essays by a comedian whose humor has been described as raunchy, is obscene, but Bridges said the board will not take up the issue of determining obscenity.

The board will meet at 5 p.m. on Sept. 25 at the Pascagoula library.
