Using Children to Fix Toilets at Browns Stadium
Sounds like child labor, right? Wrong! I just lured you in, suckers! I’ll guess I’ll stop basking in my clever titling skills and tell you what The Plain Dealer has to say. Yesterday 300 peeps, 110 of which were kids, flushed the toilets at Browns Stadium simultaneously. The test was done to check that repairs made after some serious flooding that occurred at a July 14th Kenny Chesney concert were up to snuff. So the lesson? If you get a piece of shit that big to play your stadium of course the toilets are going to get clogged! Zing! No, but seriously, I won’t be here all week so enjoy this.
One Ticketed in O-Hi-O
A Kent teacher is in court today to fight a ticket he received for posting an “Impeach Bush” sign in a public place. When the teacher, Kevin Egler, asked the officer who ticketed him why his sign was different from the reality signs that are placed in the same area the officer responded, “You don’t know the difference?” Zing! Oh, wait, I guess that’s actually not funny, nor explanatory. In fact that seems ambiguous and like a downright avoidance tactic from someone who doesn’t fully grasp the law but was personally offended by the political nature of the sign. Egler’s lawyer responded to this by saying, “there is a difference: The real estate sign is commercial speech, and Egler’s sign is political. Commercial messages do not have anywhere near the legal protections that political speech does.” Zing! There it is! Fight the man!
Sippin on Gin n’ Juice
A Cleveland councilman is demanding that a Seagram’s billboard that has the phrase, “I bring dope style and laughs, what do you bring to the party,” be removed from its East 185th Street location because it makes people think of drugs. When asked what he brings to the party the councilman looked down at his feet and responded in a hushed voice, “Wet blankets.” Next up on the chopping block: ads for Weed Killer. Zing?
