BOLD ACTS OF SELF-INCRIMINATION


Colognes and Big Stones


I don't know who this naked man above is, but I am in awe of the size of his manberries.

Homie, who goes by the aliases Watson and Casilla, snapped a photo of himself and used it to create a fake two-page Gucci ad. He then called up a major Swiss weekly publication for advertising space, posing as a public-relations representative for Gucci, and asked that the $49,100 bill be sent to Gucci.

The fake ad was published and this man is now a famous Gucci model.

Brilliant.

The only problem, of course, is that he's under investigation for fraud and the police know exactly what he looks like.

I can't really fault the publication for running the ad. It is quite convincing and certainly looks as real as Gucci's latest ad campaign, seen below:

In other self-incriminating news, today's LA Times includes this photo of a high school student tagging a bus:



Here's some free legal advice to all the taggers out there:
  1. Don't tag a bus with a half dozen witnesses behind you.
  2. Don't tag a bus when the Mayor of Los Angeles is on the bus, staring right at you.
  3. Don't tag a bus when the Mayor has invited an army of reporters on board the bus to document his campaign to clean up the neighborhood.
  4. Don't tag a bus when multiple camera and video camera lenses are aimed right at you.
  5. Don't tag a bus when the principal of the adjacent school, which you attend, can immediately identify you based on the picture of you in the LA Times.
