A Real Weiner

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009 • Filed under Robberies

We set our standards pretty low in this world. It used to be that our dreams reached as high as the sky, with visions of wealth, fame and power as rewards for hard work and strong determination. Now our highest dream consists of a comfy chair and a hot dog.

Just such a theory was proved when a robber got sentenced to hard time for stealing a hot dog, according to the AP.

That’s right, the man actually pulled a gun on another gun just so he could have his hot dog. He took the hot dog and immediately devoured it. I wonder if he would have been given less time if he agreed to give the hot dog back?

He was sentenced under an obscure ruling that nets food thieves prison time called McDonald v. Hamburglar.

    It’s called Communisum dudes and also being uneducated about it!

    Under Communisum you have no such thing as rights so therefore people will not be intrested in working hard to fight for them so that Hot Dog will be VERY valuable during such times when people can’t afford it as everybody will be *equal* and poor while the goverment has virtually unlimited $$$.

    This has been happening since the Turn of the Century if you REALLY want to be technical about it.

    Um, dude? I’m pretty sure there’s not much “Communisum” in Boston. Or anywhere else on Earth.

    Umm China and North Korea both have fully fledged communism while numerous other nations have “socialism”
