Current Event #9: Toe sucking gets man jail time

At age 31, Michael Brown, was arrested for sucking on "the woman's toes" (StaffReports) while "helping her try on shoes" (StaffReports) at the Wal-Mart in Lincolnton. He seems to have an obsession with sucking on women's toes. What? What is wrong with this guy? Michael Brown told the judge, "'I [he] apologize [apologizes] to the victim. I [he] am [is] ready to take full responsibility for my [his] actions'" (StaffReports). Brown was registered as a sex offender after the incident.


I don't think that this has anything to do with any of my classes, but I think that it is something ridiculous and that people need to realize how crazy people can be and they need to know to watch out for dumb people like that. It might relate to a health class because it is not healthy to suck on someone's toes like that. Toe sucking? Really? What is wrong with this world?

I think that this event is ridiculous and I would NEVER let anyone suck on my toes, that is just weird and disgusting. I think that this affects my life because it shows me how stupid people can be and that I should watch my back and try on my own shoes without "help". Yuck.
