Big Diction Salute: Lawyer Jailed For Suggestive Hand Motion In Court

By Mark Topel • Apr 21st, 2008 • Category: Uncategorized

On April 17th, defense attorney Adam Reposa was sentenced to 90 days in jail for contempt of court. What could he have done to deserve such a harsh punishment, you ask? Air masturbating. That’s what.

“At a contempt hearing Monday, Judge Jan Breland said Reposa, 33, rolled his eyes and looked at her while motioning with his right hand.”

I think we can all agree the punishment does not fit the crime. Obviously he just wanted to express his dissatisfaction with the plea negotiations. Reposa’s job security seems safe at the moment as Big Diction is eagerly awaiting the release of Reposa, having already taken steps to employ him as head of legal counsel. Get the full story here or there.

Who needs World of Warcraft when you’ve got Miss Bimbo??

“GIRLS as young as seven are being targeted for a controversial online game where characters get breast implants, stay ‘waif thin’ and constantly visit tanning booths.

The Women’s Forum Australia has condemned the MissBimbo game, in which millions of players around the world guide their ‘bimbo’ through a variety of tasks.

Some of the tasks include starting and ending relationships, constant dieting (but ‘every girl needs to eat, every now and again’) and constant visits to a tanning salon.”

Read the full article here, or start your own game now there.

 **EDIT**  Here’s a really heartfelt message from the Miss Bimbo team to their players concerning a lack of hosting space, among other hilarious pieces of business.

Dear Players,

Due to unforseen worldwide interest in Miss Bimbo we have had difficulty in maintaining our game in the manner players have become accustomed. We are sorry for this inconvenience and can assure you that our game will be up and running as soon as possible.

As a result of this rather surprising media attention we have decided to remove the option of purchasing diet pills from the game. We apologise to any players whom this may inconvenience but we feel in light of this weeks proceedings it is the correct action to take.

We would also like to sincerely apologise to our players for the media comparison of Miss Bimbo and Paris Hilton. We feel that this does a dis-service to the players whom send their bimbos to university, tea parties or chess tournaments.

At this time we would also like to remind players that the Miss Bimbo team assume no responsibility or liability for any fashion faux pas, hair style disasters or boob jobs incurred in real life as as a result of playing the Miss Bimbo game.

The Miss Bimbo Team.
