Did their mugs make the 'Who's been booked?" segment of the news?

I know you said this in jest, but I specifically watched for the segment last night to see if maybe it's an automated thing they have that just pulls mugshots from the PCJ's website without any input from WHO staff. Unfortunately, I left disappointed.

Leave 'em alone. They are people just like anyone else and just because they are on tv doesn't give people the right to take pot shots at them. Joe Employee from Wellmark gets busted and no one cares. Just because their job puts them in front of a camera and not behind a desk doesn't make them a bigger target. Trust me, it gets old when people feel they have the right to say whatever they want about people you are close to.

You mean like what the media does EVERY SINGLE DAY?

You're exactly right. Driving drunk on our roads gives people the right.

Didn't say what they did was right but why start a thread? Let's start one about everybody who got busted for OWI over the weekend then.


we've had them for players who had noise complaints against them. I'd say this qualifies as worthy of a summer thread.

Because they are well know public figures....just like all the ISU and Iowa athletes who have been busted for an OWI, who coincidentally enough get their own thread on CF, and some face time on Channel 13 news.

I find it incredibly ironic that WHO has yet to report on the Matt Thomas OWI. Must of decided to skip this one as they knew they would receive a ton of backlash.

This. You screw up, you got to face the music just like the rest of us.

On a side note, it is very interesting reading this thread and the Matt Thomas OWI thread, the differing attitudes towards it

I don't think the actual views are any different. I think that most of the people mad about it here and not when it comes to Matt Thomas are not mad about the actual drinking and driving but rather the hypocrisy of WHO not reporting it.

Now I will give WHO credit because I haven't seen them mention it but in the past this would have been a big story for them.
