1. All I saw was the T and the N

in the guy's name and I jumped to thinking that Ted Nugent was going to the big house.

Damn, that's disappointing, I'd love to see that prick up the river just because he's such a pretentious shithead. Thinking about how fast he'd become some Corcoran gang-bangers girlfriend would just be too much fun.

3. I know you're joking and all

I don't dispute that Ted Nugent is an ass. But that's not a reason to jail him. And it's even less of a reason for him to be raped.

Just sayin' . . .

5. If he was going to prison it would be because he broke the law -

not for being an ass. :shrug:
