Man arrested for trying to cash $360 billion check

Posted by Media Outrage on May 2, 2008

Yes we know this sounds ridiculous but just keep on reading.

Via AP:

FORT WORTH, Texas – Charles Ray Fuller must have been planning one big record company. The 21-year-old North Texas man was arrested last week for trying to cash a $360 billion check, saying he wanted to start a record business. Tellers at the Fort Worth bank were immediately suspicious — perhaps the 10 zeros on a personal check tipped them off.

Fuller, of suburban Crowley, was arrested on a forgery charge. He was released after posting $3,750 bail.

Fuller said his girlfriend’s mother gave him the check to start a record business. But bank employees who contacted the account’s owner said the woman told them she did not give him permission to take or cash the check.

In addition to the forgery count, Fuller was charged with unlawfully carrying a weapon and possessing marijuana. Officers reported finding less than two ounces of marijuana and a .25-caliber handgun and magazine in his pockets.

Mediaoutrage– Hold on for a second while we try and figure out which decade in the later part of the 2000s he’s going to see the light of day.

Billie Jean tries to break into Neverland Ranch

Michael Jackson

Some people take it too far. A 60 yr old Santa Monica woman named Billie Jean Jackson was arrested for trying to break into Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch on Monday evening.

Via KTLA News:

The Michael Jackson song clearly spells out that Billie Jean is not his lover. But that didn’t stop a Santa Maria woman named Billie Jean Jackson from allegedly trying to get through the gates of Neverland Ranch on Monday evening by claiming she was Jackson’s wife.

Jackson, 60, told a security guard at the front gate of the ranch that she was Jackson’s wife and this was her ranch, too, reported the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department.

The guard, who had arrested Jackson multiple times before on suspicion of trespassing, turned her away.

Jackson moved a few yards down the road and climbed over a fence, the sheriff’s department reported. She was then detained by security.

Deputies responded to the ranch shortly after 6 p.m. for the trespassing call and Jackson was booked into County Jail on suspicion of trespassing. Her bail was set at $2,500.

Mediaoutrage– SMH at her being 60, delusional, and really claiming to be Mike’s wife. Sounds like one of Pastor Manning’s members that escaped his screaming sessions.

Casino denies man $5million jackpot

Slot Machine

This is wild. A man gambling in a Virgin Island Casino played $20 and hit the jackpot on the slot machine for $5.15million and then a worker at the Casino purposely un-plugged the machine saying that it was a malfunction.

Via switched:

If you’ve ever been in a serious casino, then you’ve seen the gigantic slot machines off in the corners (the ones that only accept large-denomination bills). These machines usually have something like spinning cars on top or giant screens showing millions and millions of dollars counting up all the time. Such a machine was precisely the type that Illinois attorney Alvin Paulson put a $20-bill into while on vacation in the Virgin Islands. To his surprise, it lit up and started spitting out quarters — that is, until a casino worker unplugged it and said it was a malfunction.

he machine was showing a $5.15-million jackpot when Paulson fed his $20 bill in there, an awfully big payout and an awful lot more than the $100 and a free meal hat the casino offered him for the supposed malfunction. The casino has yet to offer any proof of said malfunction and Paulson is, naturally, suing the place for either said proof or the $5-million prize.

Mediaoutrage– That’s definitely two lawsuits; 1. For them refusing to pay. and 2. The one we would have incurred after we politely A-Town stomped his head into the carpet.

Indian Man marries a dog!?!?!?!?!

Posted by Media Outrage on November 13, 2007

This is by far the craziest thing our staff has come across. Read it for yourself.

A man in southern India married a female dog in a traditional Hindu ceremony as an attempt to atone for stoning two other dogs to death — an act he believes cursed him — a newspaper reported Tuesday.

P. Selvakumar married the sari-draped former stray named Selvi, chosen by family members and then bathed and clothed for the ceremony Sunday at a Hindu temple in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, the Hindustan Times newspaper said.

Selvakumar, 33, told the paper he had been suffering since he stoned two dogs to death and hung their bodies from a tree 15 years ago.

“After that my legs and hands got paralyzed and I lost hearing in one ear,” he said in the report.

The paper said an astrologer had told Selvakumar the wedding was the only way he could cure the maladies. It did not say whether his situation had improved.

Deeply superstitious people in rural India sometimes organize weddings to dogs and other animals, believing it can ward off certain curses.

The paper showed a picture of Selvakumar sitting next to the dog, which was wearing an orange sari and a flower garland.

The paper said the groom and his family then had a feast, while the dog got a bun.

Well we know how they got it on honey moon night……..DOGGY-STYLE!!!

Priest arrested for stalking Conan O’Brien!!!!

This Priest was trippin…

A priest from Boston has been charged with stalking and harassing the talk show host Conan O’Brien law enforcement officials said last night.

The suspect, David Ajemian, was arrested on Friday when he tried to attend a taping of NBC’s “Late Night With Conan O’Brien” program at Rockefeller Center, the police said. The priest is being held in jail for a court-ordered psychiatric examination, and is due back in court tomorrow.

Court papers quote from menacing postcards and letters — at least some written on a parish letterhead — that Father Ajemian is alleged to have sent to Mr. O’Brien’s home and television studio for more than a year. The letters continued even after the priest was asked to stop, law enforcement officials said.

A Feb. 20 letter said: “I’m told by some of those officious little usher people that you’re overbooked. Is this the way you treat your most dangerous fans? You owe me big-time, pal. I want a public confession before I even consider giving you absolution.”

An April 26 letter, signed Padre, said, “I am not Seung Cho,” apparently alluding to the gunman at Virginia Tech. The letter continued: “Even if I did once look out on that dark and dreaded doorway on West 72 Street, remember Frank Costello once dodged a bullet in your building, and so can you.” The gangster Frank Costello was shot and wounded in the lobby of the Majestic on West 72nd Street in 1957.

The priest said in his correspondence that he had followed Mr. O’Brien’s career since they both attended Harvard.

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston said that Father Ajemian has been placed on leave, The Associated Press said.

On leave??? Can we say crazy? Do you really want him to be the guy that you are confessing your craziest thoughts and sins to? So he can tape record them and then go and reenact them??? Him and the other 22,000 child molesting Priest out there really give the Catholic Church a bad name. I think every parent’s worse nightmare is sending their young boys off to summer camp only to find out that it is being run by an ex Catholic Priest!
