The cheap joke is to assert the removed parts were the "naughty bits."

The educated joke is #PrendaLaw

If you need some good news to brighten up your day, the #PrendaLaw assholes are going to prison. And in doing so, gave us a great real-life example of the Non-Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma at work. (Spoiler: one guy cooperated and got 5 years, the other guy got 14.)

Shameful that it took the legal system this long to get to this point, but as slow as it is, sometimes it does produce the right result.
