State of Nebraska V. Crotchy the Clown


State of Nebraska V. Crotchy the Clown is a short documentary about a clown named Crotchy who took to the Public Access airwaves to do standup comedy and review pornographic films. It was, ironically, one of the less offensive programs broadcast, but nevertheless he ran afowl of censors after choking his chicken on television. The free speech case ended up before the Nebraska Supreme Court—and that’s when things got weird.
