Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

From Wired:

Smackfest Slapped Down
A New York City radio station has agreed to stop its Smackfest promotion -- women slapping each other for prizes. WQHT Hot 97, a hip-hop station owned by Emmis Communications, held 24 Smackfest contests and then posted images on its website of the young women fighting. It was hit with a $240,000 fine for violating a state law prohibiting the promotion of a combative sport. New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer said the fine should be a wake-up call for businesses that think "outrageousness is a clever marketing strategy."

I'm getting the pig!

Promotion of a combative sport? Isn't boxing a combative sport?

Not that I'm pro-Smackfest. I'm too fragile for Smackfest.

If you think round's funny

Promotion of a combative sport? Isn't boxing a combative sport?

My understanding was that the event required a license, which they did not have. Less clear is whether event involving might fists of quit it need a license.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Is boxing allowed in New York state?

Yes, it is, but as Chupacabra notes, you have to have a license from the state boxing commission.
