Don’t Tase Me Bro... You're my Best Man!!!

From the Bangor Daily News:

ROCKLAND, Maine — The Attorney General’s Office is investigating an incident in which a Knox County deputy sheriff was shocked with a Taser, hogtied and paraded around downtown Camden in the back of a pickup truck last summer.



…The weekly newspaper Village Soup obtained a video that shows approximately 10 men outdoors at what is believed to be a bachelor party when the Taser is used. The groom-to-be drops to the ground and the other men bind him before covering him with oil and feathers…

I guess there are a few things to comment on this story.

1.) Wow! These guys really know how to throw a bachelor party! Obviously a trip to Vegas or a night of beer and “entertainment” of the female variety were not enough for these officers of the law.

2.) The police in question put this on video? What are they? College freshman girls who need to document all the stupid things they do when they drink? I'm surprised someone didn't find this video sooner on officers Facebook page... between their Top Friends list and Scrabolous applications.

3.) Have we learned nothing from the famous “Don’t Tase me, Bro!” video that became a YouTube phenomenon and gave University of Florida student Andrew Meyer 15 minutes of “fame" which included his own ringtone from Verizon Wireless and t-shirt from Busted Tees.

4.) This should make an interesting topic of discussion at the wedding. I’d love to be a fly on the wall at the reception when the best man gives his speech. I picture a group of people booing him… followed by a rousing chant of “Yankees Suck!” (I mean we are in New England, it happens).

Bonus points for anyone who can provide a picture of somone wearing a "Don't Tase Me Bro" t-shirt outside of the Knox County Sheriffs Department.
