Other Blogs Talk About What We Talk About The Day Before

From The Blog of D Magazine:

David Ware, a Garland softball coach, is expected to turn himself in either today or tomorrow for liking wrestling. I mean really liking wrestling. As this story states, Ware is "accused of videotaping a girls wrestling match for sexual pleasure." His lawyers are going to challenge the 2001 law with the "Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Are Hot" defense. Attorney Scott Palmer says,

"If you go to a Cowboys game and take a close-up shot of their cleavage, are you committing the same offense because you think that has sex appeal? Apparently you are under this statute."
But Grand Prairie Sgt. John Brimmer points out that the wrestlers Ware filmed were much younger. Brimmer also says,
"This was more than accidental footage of the genital areas. It appeared to be a purposeful act of zooming in."
