What's wrong with Wisconsin?

There is something weird going on in Wisconsin. In September, some guy was arrested for attempting to remove a corpse, presumably for sexual purposes. But now there's this whole story about some guy getting it on with a dead deer -- and whether that should be illegal.

This is not a joke. From the motion (conveniently available on The Smoking Gun):



First of all, can you really win a legal argument by quoting The Princess Bride?

And second, eew.

This is one of those times when you don't want to be a judge. Ugh. I think it's less horrific if the animal is thankfully dead. But if you kill it with the intent (as he apparently did with the horse)...ugh.

Forgive my ignorance, but what was the Princess Bride argument?

Peter: I guess there's a point when the corpse is, essentially, dirt. But that's a long time away. And honestly, it's still weird to have sex with dirt.

Debby: The Princess Bride argument is the last sentence of the page -- it's the point about the difference between all dead and mostly dead.

You know what's NOT wrong with Wisconsin? Their football team. Just sayin'.

dara said...

Yeah, but their marching band is a menace.

Justin: I lost all respect for Wisconsin football after this move and then Alvarez insinuating that JoePa doesn't know the rules of football.

As for the sex with animals/carcasses thing... I think the gist of his argument is that a creature stops being an animal the moment it dies. Interesting theory...

After reading this, only one thing came into my mind, "Inconceivable!"

dara said...

Bo, I think that is the most appropriate response.

Well, that and "Have fun storming the castle!"

How about: "Truly, you have a dizzying intellect."

I Love it. Rob Reiner's writing has made it into a legal motion...that is just brilliant. HAHAHAHAHA. And yes, that is just disgusting, disgusting, disgusting.
