There must have been something in the water this week. I think I can count on one hand, the number of times I have heard news stories that involved love dolls. In fact, I think the last one I heard about was nearly 18 months ago when Roxxy the robot was debuted at the Adult Entertainment expo. So imagine my surprise, and intrigue, when I heard not one, but two different news stories this week involving inflatable love dolls.
The first story really caught my attention because it occurred not far from my neck of the woods in Woodbridge VA. Police were responding to a burglary at the MVC Late Night adult store to find the front glass door smashed and unlocked. They sent a canine unit into the store where they found a man hiding in a closet of the store, attempting to have sexual relations with an inflatable sex doll.
Needless to say, I laughed out loud when I heard the initial news report on the radio as the broadcaster stated that the man was found in the closet with the love doll. First off, it is bad enough that the guy committed a crime by breaking into the store. Let's not even go into what he was trying to do with the doll, but how stupid do you have to be to do that at the scene of the crime? It made me think of a story I posted about three years ago about a guy who was using the vacuum at a car wash to satisfy himself.
The second story I heard about was one that I did not think was quite as humorous. It involved a high school senior from Indiana. As part of a senior prank, the kid wanted to sneak into the girls restroom and leave an inflatable doll. Unfortunately, he was spotted on surveillance video wearing a hood, gloves, and carrying a package as he entered the restroom. They saw him leave empty handed.
I can understand their reaction in the world we live in today, but officials called the proper authorities who rushed a bomb squad to the school and evacuated the school. The student was arrested and now faces a potential 8 year jail sentence for felony criminal mischief. It seems to be a stiff penalty to pay for what really was a harmless prank.
Just some of my random thoughts on news, events, or anything else that happens to strike my fancy. Enjoy your visit and feel free to comment

News Briefs 1/22/10
I am going to try something new tonight. I am going to highlight two or three stories that caught my attention that I want to address briefly. It may be something I thought was humorous, outrageous, or just really made me mad. I am going to call these "News Briefs." I am not sure yet if I will make this a regular feature, but thought I would give it a shot.
First up, is a story about a woman who punished her 12 year old son for getting bad grades. Now I am not one of those parents who do not believe in instilling discipline in one's child. I do not necessarily think it a bad thing to smack a child on their bottom when warranted. This woman, however went well beyond the norm. She was arrested in Georgia and charged with child and animal cruelty for forcing her child to kill his pet hamster as punishment. What kind of sick, twisted freak could possibly conceive of doing something like this to their child and an innocent animal?
Second story for tonight is the story of a man who was arrested and facing prostitution charges. However, this brilliant piece of work was not arrested in some sex worker sting. Nope. He called police himself. He paid a woman $150 for sex and then she decided not to live up to her end of the bargain. The police arrested them both and charged them with prostitution charges. Two things come to mind, if you are going to be engaged in an illegal activity such as soliciting prostitution, do you really think it's a good idea to call the cops if the deal fall through? Second, if she did not actually have sex with the man for money, should she still be charged with prostitution?

Drinking, Dialing, & Driving
They say that driving while using your cell phone can be just as dangerous as driving drunk. How bad would it be if you were using your cell phone while you are driving drunk? Bad enough to call 911 to turn yourself in for drunk driving?
When I first heard this, I couldn't stop laughing. Fortunately, for this woman and those on the road, she didn't get in an accident and hurt or kill somebody. That is the only reason we can laugh about it today.

Kitty Porn?

Well, if you believe that is a possibility, then I guess it is conceivable that the story of Keith Griffin of Jensen Beach, Florida could be believed. Griffin recently was arrested and charged with 10 counts of possession of child pornography after police found over 1000 images on his home computer.
Griffin claims that he was downloading music on his computer. He left the room and his cat jumped on the keyboard. When he returned, he found "strange things" on his computer. Apparently, Griffin is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. I mean really, the cat jumped on the keyboard while you were downloading music? I know in America people are innocent until proven guilty, but he ought to do jail time for coming up with such a lame excuse.
