The Arizona Legislature finally has tackled the super-cereal business of making sure that the likes of South Park's infamous "ManBearPig" have no place in the Grand Canyon State.

A ManBearPig -- as described by "Al Gore" on the show -- is half man, half bear, and half pig.

While there may be a minor snafu with the math involved with ManBearPig, creatures similar to the legendary South Park beast are apparently such a problem in Arizona that state lawmakers (you know, the boobs who gave us SB 1070) passed a law making their creation illegal.

That sound you may be hearing right now isn't the roar of a Centaur, it's the rest of the country continuing to LOL at the expense of Arizona.

See, the Arizona Senate passed a bill yesterday that makes it illegal to "intentionally or knowingly create a human-animal hybrid."

SB 1307 makes it a class-six felony to knowingly create such a hybrid during research and class-one misdemeanor to buy or sell a human-animal embryo.

The bill was created by Senator Linda Gray and co-sponsored by the who's-who of the knuckle-dragging Republican legislators in the Arizona Senate, including the architect of SB 1070, Russell Pearce.

We called Senator Gray to find out ~~what mythical planet she thinks she's living on~~ why there's a need for such a bill, but she never got back to us.

The bill passed the Senate with a 16-12 vote and awaits a full vote in the House of Representatives after it was passed in a House panel.
