[Phaedron]

Man faces 5 years in prison for getting his girlfriend some romantic balloons, and letting them loose at a beach.

All that because of something he did for her, I wonder if she'll wait for him?

I don't even wanna read that because I imagine it's some ridiculous story about an abuse claim or something that resulted in an innocent person going to jail. AAArrrgh!!

EDIT: I did read it, and it's the most ridiculous thing I've never read. What kind of world are we living in??

I can't see him actually getting jail time.

A fine for littering, at most.

Get jail time for letting go of balloons at the beach? Utter rubbish.

I hope that common sense prevails and he doesn't go to jail.

Hnh. They don't arrest the folks who set off fireworks on the beach during turtle nesting season, and I'm pretty sure that's illegal, too. So this seems a bit much.

What a wonderfully preposterous case. What about Chinese Lanterns?
