Schadenfreude
by Steve West on May 29, 2008

Is it wrong to laugh at goofy-looking mugshots? Probably on some level. I mean, the circumstances that led to these photographs being taken had to be well, criminal. Their misfortune shouldn't be fodder for my amusement, should it? Not sure, but I laughed anyway. Funny commentary, too.

I guess it all comes down to personal taste, but I think someone would be remiss to exclude the following gems:
All these years, he's been saving that mullet for his 20th high-school reunion.
"Jesus" is right...
shame over arrest, or buyer's remorse for tattoo?
"Make sure you get my good side..."
I'm betting this guy was arrested for throwing chairs...
"Sexy"'s cousin
diehard UF fan???
help me out with this one... the words escape me
arrested on the set of Trick My Trucker
They must use a Dark Crystal on some of these police cameras -- Podling essence, anyone... hmmmm???
Sexy, you scamp, is that you again?
Don King's twin sister... separated at birth
more from Extreme Makeover...
These guys think that "I'm With Stupid" shirts are just... stupid.
"Look into the Crystal, dammit!"
I wonder... does this poor guy habla?
takes one to know one...
just doing her part to "go green" with paperless invoice
poor girl... can't afford the glitter
tan lines are sexy!
Santa's freeloading younger brother!
Who's his daddy?
the coveted black Beavis vote
"Gelfling!"

deja-vu
(Note from TSG: The gentlemen on page #2 were arrested four days apart and, best as we can tell, do not share a wardrobe.)

Ha ha! I was inspired to review some Smoking Gun photos also but missed a lot of those. Cool.

My Ball Got Whacked With Monkey Poo
I love miniature golf. Back in college, I spent many a drunken evening goofing off with friends, avoiding the last few pages of a term paper, or just getting the cheap thrill of pretending you're an athlete by getting your ball into Mickey Mouse's left eye to win a free game. Eat me, Arnold Palmer! Go »
Dumb Criminals And Other Court Type Stuff
Small potpourri of MENSA reject criminals, frivolous lawsuits and just dumb laws. Cupcake Burglar; Cheeseburger Lawsuit; Drunken Sock Eater; Saggy Trouser Law; and Goofy Streaker. The most shocking story to me is this last one in which a victimized Kirsten Dunst had her room burgled and items stolen including a $13,000 handbag. Go »
Yes, I Would Like A Second Helping
Blasts from the past. Really bad album covers. Lame creatures from Star Trek. Go »
Durante Made A Living With That Nose
I really wish it were talent alone that made actors succeed in Hollywood. But (big shocker) looks and "who knows whom" still co-reigns with ability. Some individuals succeed without perfect looks and even with somewhat flawed looks. Go »
Givin' It Up To The Man
There seems to be several different meanings to that phrase, these days especially. Meaning 1) A teenage girl in Germany sold her virginity online to an Italian businessman for $18000. She had hoped to raise $100K for schooling, I think. Go »

Priceless. No idea how the author could put them in any ranking order, though... how on earth do you decide between an Oompa-Loompa and Badger-Lovin' Beavis, or Cameron Diaz and the Leprechaun???
I just don't know.
