MOBBION #6 This Weeks Round Up

This was a bit of a slow week for our MOBBION Series, so we thought to combine a few stories we came upon across this net to give you a few laughs, grasps and some head shaking. These are true so help me Oprah.

Our first comes from the Lone Star State of Texas:

A Pasadena, Texas, woman outdid the rabbit scene in “Fatal Attraction” by stealing her ex’s pet goldfish, frying them up in a pan, and eating them.

The fight that led up to the non-vegetarian revengefest was apparently over some jewelry that the unnamed man had once given the anonymous fish murderess, and had then taken back. After unsuccessfully confronting her ex, the woman went to his apartment, took the goldfish and brought them home for the most furious fish fry in the history of mankind.

By the time the police made it to her place, she had already eaten three of the goldfish, which left four tiny fried fish carcasses sitting on her plate. She couldn’t have been very hungry, though, after the huge plate of crazy she ate for breakfast.

Not to be out done, here is Virginia’s entry.

Burning shame combined with the August morning sun and about a gazillion highly amused stares was the punishment one man endured for cheating on his wife.

William Taylor of Centreville, Va., got caught getting a little action on the side when he forgot to remove the incriminating evidence from his cell phone. 

After finding the proof, his wife doled out a rather interesting punishment — she forced him to stand at one of the busiest intersections in the D.C. metropolitan area wearing a sandwich board telling everyone he’s a cheater. 

Consider it a modern-day version of a scarlet letter — humiliating, but less catastrophic than some scorned women’s destructive revenge tactics. Of course, what saves this marriage could ruin others, if it gives other wives some vengeful ideas.

“I thought she was kidding, but she was serious,” Taylor said. “I figured I got to do what I got to do to makes things right. So here I am.”

His punishment is set to last all week. Each day when morning rush hour winds down, William gets a text from his wife, giving him permission to stop the public humiliation for the day, although repeat sightings of Taylor suggest this is at least a week-long punishment. Those daily texts will probably make him happier than all the ones he got from his mistress combined.

And what might be one of the worst marriage proposals in the last decade from our friends in Baltimore, MD

Think popping the question at Medieval Times is bad? Brace yourself. A man in Baltimore used actual cops to stage a fake police raid as part of what has to be the worst wedding proposalwe’ve ever heard of.

Jon S. Cardin, left, a State Delegate from Baltimore called the city police commissioner and commissioned up some cops to stage a raid on the boat he was cruising on with his girlfriend. After police marine and helicopter units circled the craft, some of them boarded, pretended to ransack it, and then hauled out a box with a ring in it.

Cardin and the city of Baltimore — a town so plagued by crime and police corruption that they made a hit HBO show about how plagued by crime and police corruption it is — are in a hot water for using on-duty cops, helicopters and boats to stage the proposal. Thankfully (?), he’s offered to repay every last taxpayer dollar spent on scaring the Christ out of his girlfriend via S.W.A.T. team.

And finally the over-hyped saga of Jon and Kate Gosselin. I have to say this guy is a JERK. (video from CNN)
