Olympic prankster given five-month jail sentence
He's given five months in jail for jumping into the pool in a tutu and clown shoes?!? That seems a bit harsh, doesn't it? I understand that security is tight over there and maybe running up on the high dive and jumping into the pool wasn't exactly the most brilliant idea around, but come on--five months?!? Man, those Greek courts are harsh!
I love this part:
The Athens Olympics organisers said the man had told police he "wanted to present a message to his wife by getting on television." And what would that message be--"Hey, honey! I'm an idiot! Please send bail money!' And how do you explain to your bosses that you will be off the job for five months because you were the guy at the Olympics in a tutu and clown shoes that jumped into the pool?
It's also good to know all that money being spent on security for the games is paying off....
On a side-note, if you go to the article, you'll see a picture of this genius. He's got some web site written across his chest. You know, I have to admit, I'm tempted to see what web site was worth five months in jail to get that name out there.
