Charlie/Lanselot did that awhile back. I thought Everyone thought he was weird.

XD Just putting it all out there, huh. Also, dang Inui. Them's fighting words. I want some fan of hers to be like "Take that back."

My favorite part -- Guy: "They don't think [your husband] is going to make it... <_>" Girl: "Aw... ._."

Best acting in history my friend:

As Cenk Uygur said on TYT, it's so ironic that they used this defense to get this verdict. Because Couch had a privileged lifestyle and wasn't accustomed to consequences for bad behavior, let's perpetuate his ignorance by giving him no consequences for this behavior. I'm wondering if there is some sort of organization that campaigns for harsher sentencing of wealthy people.

Had to do one more edit. Apparently the youth pastor wasn't the driver of the broken down car, but another person who had stopped to help.

Sorry about that. Here's the story from CNN.

Article from CNN Article from the Daily Mail TLDR Version: Back in June, a 16-year-old boy named Ethan Couch was driving a group of friends in a pick-up truck owned by his father's company. He had a blood-alcohol level three times the adult legal limit (although, at 16, it was illegal for him to drink at all). An SUV was broken down on the side of the road, and four people (a youth pastor, a mother and daughter, and a 24-year-old woman) had stopped to help. Couch careened off the road and slammed into the group, killing all four bystanders and permanently paralyzing his friend, passenger Sergio Molina. At his trial, psychologist Gary Miller testified that Couch was not accountable for his actions, as he suffered from "affluenza" -- the condition of being coddled by wealthy parents. Due to his pampered upbringing, Dr. Miller argued that Couch could not have realized the consequences of his actions, and should be exempt from jail. The maximum jail sentence for a minor in this case was 20 years in prison. Couch was sentenced 10 years probation and no jail time. In the wake of the trial, according to the Daily Mail, "Couch will receive his counseling at a 'country club'-style treatment center, with a price tag of $450,000 per year that features equine therapy and organic menu options," to be paid for by his father. Thoughts?
