A judge in Illinois has ruled it was not illegal for a man to ask to tickle other people's kids in a park. Charles Douglas was charged with disorderly conduct after he approached parents at a park and asked if he could do the "tickle monster" to their kids. Associate Judge Kyle Napp ruled Wednesday that his remarks were protected as free speech by the First Amendment.In other news, judges in Illinois are retarded.
A pilot from Tunisia has been sentenced to 10 years in jail for praying rather than following emergency procedures during a plane crash. His jet went down off the coast of Sicily leaving 16 people dead. A fuel-gauge malfunction sparked the crash, but in a state of panic the pilot prayed out loud rather than taking measures to save passengers.
A London high school recently sent a letter to the parents of a deceased teen that said she needs to improve her attendance or she won't be allowed to go to the prom. The girl's mother, Margaret Gillan, says, "I screamed when I first saw it. If they want her to attend that much I'll take Megan's remains. It's disgusting. Megan would have loved going to the prom. She planned to go with a group of friends, she was really looking forward to it." A school spokesman apologized and blamed the incident on a "software error."
Penny Batkin recently received a $145 parking ticket while resuscitating her disabled son. The London mom pulled over on the side of the road after noticing that her 4-year-old Freddie was turning blue and gasping for air in the back seat. She saved his life just as an officer placed the fine on her windshield and walked away. Batkin plans to fight the ticket.
