SACRAMENTO, California (AP) -- California will end the force feeding of ducks, geese and other birds to produce the gourmet liver product foie gras by 2012 under legislation signed Wednesday by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The bill will also ban the sale of foie gras in California starting that same year if it's obtained by force feeding birds.
Schwarzenegger, who received pleas from several celebrities, including former Beatle Paul McCartney, to sign the bill, said it gives producers more than seven years to "evolve and perfect a humane way for a duck to consume grain to increase the size of its liver through natural processes."

Ok, so let's recap:
In California, you are no longer allowed to 1) have sex with corpses or 2) force feed ducks. Where have all the good times gone?
