Everyone hates parking tickets right? I mean any ticket sucks balls and is yet another example of government fascism, but has anyone ever decided to do something vile about getting a parking ticket? A man has been ordered to pay nearly $3,000 to the woman who became seriously ill in April after opening a parking ticket envelope in which he had placed dog feces.
Joshua Steven Solberg, 22, of Austin Texas pleaded guilty to misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge when he filled his parking ticket envelope with dog shit and sent it to the county clerk office.
The women who opened the envelope got deathly sick and her medical bills totaled more then $5000. According to court documents, Judge Fred Wellmann ordered Solberg to pay $2,921.70 to the woman. My question is what the hell did the clerk do with the turds? Eat them? Rub them on her cooter? How does dog shit almost kill a person? Did she think he was so thrilled to be paying his ticket that he sent the county a snickers bar... If dog shit can almost kill you... I think.... you deserve to die. I support more feces in parking envelopes...viva la revolution.


Are you addicted to Madden?

Are you addicted to any other videogames? Well, At a meeting this weekend, the AMA will lobby the American Psychiatric Association to classify videogame addiction as a mental disorder. If you think you are addicted some of the symptoms include: disassociation from the "real world," belligerence, and spending hours at a time playing video games. Some doctors believe internet addiction may go hand in hand with video game addiction, because many video game addicts spend a lot of time playing games online.

So, playing games is a mental disorder? Following this logic you could contend that being addicted to long walks on the beach is a mental disorder, reading is a mental disorder, and watching sports is a mental disorder... my message to the AMA: Fuck off... just because people like to do something and you don't does not mean that they are crazy... it means you have different taste. They claim that this is a step to making it so that insurance companies honor video game addiction as a true addiction and pay for treatment...newsflash...they don't honor it because that's retarded and everyone sees that but law makers. Videogames aren't drugs, they aren't porn, they aren't something that holds a person against their will... I am aware that some kids play them alot... sometimes days straight, but back in my day we called those kids losers not addicts...

Quote of the Day:

"..Media Fearmongering stories tend to always cover somewhat unlikely events. Recently I read of an initiative to require car manufacturers to install sensors that alert drivers when leave a baby in the backseat accidentally. Along those same lines, there is an off switch for the passenger-side airbag in my car, a device that has caused only 30-40 deaths ever. By comparison, more people die every year from drinking too much water. Should Congress legislate safety shutoff valves for faucets? Should they regulate our water to keep us from drinking too much?"- Drew Curtis
