Ahhhh, the great American road trip. You know, just you, the great outdoors, the open road and your buddy with the diaper full of heroin. Wait a sec ... scratch that last part, unless, of course, you're friends with Frank Keys, Jr.
Keys was busted with more than 200 grams of heroin when sheriff's deputies pulled the car he was riding in over for a traffic stop in Louisiana, the Associated Press reports. When they stopped the car, deputies and DEA agents got permission to search it, and the drug dogs went nuts over Keys' britches. Keys told the officers he was wearing a diaper. I don't think there's any way the answer to that question could be good news, unless it was "no" ... or maybe "a million dollar check addressed to you." The officers then removed a package from his unconventional storage unit, chock full of 257 grams of the lethal drug. Keys could face 40 years in prison if convicted. No word on the pending penalty from the fashion police. This just in from the Dept. of Bad Ideas: Hello, my name is Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo. But first, let's join forces to punish our parents. In case you've been living under a rock somewhere, China is preparing to host the Olympics. And since they've got Olympic fever, news.com.au reports that more than 4,000 babies have been named "Olympic Games" this year. Yaaaaay. Apparently, it's not uncommon in China for parents to name their precious little snowflakes after big events or popular slogans. That means there are actually people running around the country who are not necessarily under the influence of hallucinogens calling themselves things like Defend China, Build the Nation and Space Travel. And you thought your middle name was embarrassing. Because nothing says 'I'm ready to study' like a naked run down the road... Don't you hate it when The Man tries to keep you dressed? A college student in Pennsylvania sure does.
What, they didn't do that at your school? Burke claims her raunchy run did not violate any laws because it didn't "affront or alarm" anyone, as required by law for prosecution. "Just because a person doesn't approve of the streak, that doesn't make it a criminal act," said Burke's attorney, Stacy Parks Miller. "Have we lost our senses of humor?" Burke wasn't the only one arrested during the streak, but she is the only one who's refused to accept a plea bargain. But she may be out of luck. Despite her "naked is funny" defense, the judge found enough evidence to prosecute and referred the case to trial. |
