According to the Las Vegas Sun, the Stripper Mobile is leaving Las Vegas for a nationwide tour. The minds behind the rolling stripper pole took it off the road about a month ago after the Clark County Commission decided girls clad in bikinis rolling down the Las Vegas Strip was just too much sin for Sin City. THINK about the children! Forget about the fact that you can find pornography lying around our suburban streets, THIS was too much.
The luckiest city in the world now becomes Portland because, according to Déjà Vu marketing guy Larry Beard, public nudity laws are, well, loose. “You can be naked up there on the street so long as you’re not aroused and not arousing anyone.”
For the second time this year, the famous Welcome to Las Vegas sign at the south end of the Strip has been vandalized.
Police say 69-year-old Joseph Pepitone threw red and black paint on the most visible part of the sign at Las Vegas Blvd. and Russell. At least three streaks of paint can be clearly seen.
This vandalism is more visible than the incident earlier this year which basically caused damaged to the bottom of the sign. Clark County commissioners and Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman immediately had that mess cleaned up. No arrests were made in the first incident.
Pepitone was arrested and booked into the Clark County Detention Center on a charge of injuring/damaging the property of another.
In 2006, attorney Joe Caramagno caused a mistrial after allegedly showing up to court drunk. He blamed his obvious impairment on being rear-ended on the way to court. While being questioned by the judge, Caramango drops some amazing quotes:
“Philosophically Judge, I never call the police.”
“My head has been the subject of many severe contact.”
Judge: “And no one called 911.” Caramango: “I’ve never dialed those numbers in my life.”
“I do know her judge. I’ve known her for at least… 20 minutes.”
