Strange & Stupid: Amusing News

Most people, when called to court, wear their Sunday best. But what about when you are simply in attendance for your Brother’s sentencing?

A 23-year-old Louisiana woman found out the hard way that pants “so low-slung you could see her underwear” are not ok. Kimberley Senette was given 10 days in jail by a Jefferson Parish judge who found her in contempt of his court. She said that they were only so low because the security guards had her remove her belt - but Judge Windhorst was having none of it.

Can’t blame him, K Slimm doesn’t look like the most apologetic of ladies.

Don’t believe me? Neither does Republican Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell, who had this to say after declaring April as Confederate History Month:

This defining chapter in Virginia’s history should not be forgotten, but instead should be studied, understood and remembered by all Virginians, both in the context of the time in which it took place, but also in the context of the time in which we live, and this study and remembrance takes on particular importance as the Commonwealth prepares to welcome the nation and the world to visit Virginia for the Sesquicentennial Anniversary of the Civil War, a four-year period in which the exploration of our history can benefit all.

A reminder, Mr. McDonnell: learning and remembrance is one thing, paying respects is another.

BATESVILLE, AR (KAIT) – A male model who moved to NY to make it big found himself in big trouble when visiting a friend in Batesville, Arkansas……21-year-old Nicholas Snider was facing charges of public intoxication and disorderly conduct when he offered sexual favors for his release. He was charged not only with being drunk and ornery, but also with attempting to influence a public servant (buying off the arresting officers with sexual favors.)

This story is wonderfully simple.
A family went to FedEx/Kinkos to get their Christmas cards printed, but the store refused to make the copies.

From the family blog:
Tonight I walked into the Fedex Kinkos store on Calhoun Street here in Charleston, SC to print our Christmas cards, only to have the clerk, Tammy Johnson, reject my order as obscene.
We Cringelys are known for our Christmas cards, I admit, because we make them ourselves and we’re naked. The tradition began by accident and now our cards are so popular friends remind us to send them. Making naked Christmas cards that are tasteful isn’t easy, either, but we do it. With three little boys you can only go so long until they begin to realize they are, well, naked. That leads in our family not so much to protestations of modesty as to demands for bribes. The price of this year’s photo session was $2 worth of sour gummy worms per kid. Yum.
Thankfully, the Charleston, SC family found an online store to print them for less than FedEx.
The internet saves the world, once again.

Ok, I’m going to be honest with you for a minute. Once, in college, I got high and ate a snickers bar while I was walking around wal-mart. But it wasn’t a regular thing, and it surely wasn’t as bad as

THIS: FAIRFAX, VA - A man was arrested after stealing a 12-pack of beer and drinking it as he walked around the store. He didn’t only walk, though, he went aisle to aisle swearing at the innocent people of wal-mart and threatening to kill cops.

Rodger C. Wynn, 52, was arrested on charges of theft, aggravated menacing and disorderly conduct while intoxicated Saturday. And what beer would you steal? The nice one, right? Nope. He took a 12 of Steel Reserve. Did you know they even made that in sizes other than 40 oz? Learn something new every day.
