Some Little People Support The Florida Repeal Of Tossing Little People Ban!

Well, this took a turn we did NOT expect it to!

In an attempt to create more jobs in the market, Florida Rep. Ritch Workman has filed a bill to repeal a law against the sport of dwarf-tossing, which bans the "launching little people for the amusement of an audience!"

Of course, as if it's not bizarre enough that there was ever such a sport in existence ever, many advocates for the law, like Little People of America, claim that this is as offensive as "Jew Tossing" or "Woman Tossing" would be, OTHERS, including 3'2" Dave "the Dwarf" Flood says that it's HIS right to do what he wants with his body!

He explains:

"If I was 7-foot-tall, I'd be playing basketball. Being short gives me an advantage in dwarf tossing. I'm just playing the hand that's been dealt me. Those first couple of tosses were scary, because I'm not a wrestler. However, I prefer it to jumping out of an airplane. The thing is, I'm doing well now, but if I didn't have a job, yeah, I'd be tossed."

Ch-check out a news report on the issue (above)!

Yeah…we mean, as we said, we can't even really grasp why on Earth this is even something that became such a practice that it actually needed to be banned, but…well, yeah!

It's not really our place to decide whether or not it should allowed? Ha!

We really have no idea what to even think about all of this!

How about U??

Casey Anthony Ordered To Pay Over $97K To Florida!!!

casey anthony to pay florida 97k

A lot of people will probably be pleased to hear this, given the fact that she's being called "one of the most hated women in America."

Today, Judge Belvin Perry ordered Casey Anthony to pay $97,676.98 to the state of Florida to cover costs associated with the investigation of Caylee Anthony's disappearance.

The judge ruled that Casey must pay these costs because she was convicted of lying to law enforcement about her daughter's disappearance, and she allowed them to devote time AND money to an investigation, when she already knew that Caylee was dead.

Here's the breakdown of how much Casey is being forced to pay to different Florida agencies:

- $61,505.12 to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement
- $25,837.96 to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office
- $10,283.90 to the Metropolitan Bureau of Investigation
- $50 to the State Attorney’s Office

While it seems that justice will never be fully served in this case, we're glad to see that further efforts are being made to ensure that Casey doesn't get off 100% scot-free.

What do U think about this? Should Casey Anthony be responsible for all the costs listed (above)???
