Good brother*, indeed.

I have to share this story that was on the front page of a local newspaper (not mine). Why must I share it? Three reasons: 1) It's ridiculous, 2) it's hilarious, and 3) it involves Jersey's idiot father. I'm not going to put their full names, as I don't need stalkers. Just enjoy this story.

Charges real after 'Deal or No Deal'

A recent TV episode of "Deal or No Deal" turned rowdy for those watching the game show from the BC jail when one inmate's commentary enraged another inmate, eventually leading to last week's filing of a felony battery charge.

The incident, which fell along racial lines, began the evening of Feb. 6 when jail inmates were watching "Deal or No Deal."

According to county records, 19-year-old inmate DG told authorities that he and other inmates had suggested that a black contestant on the game show should take the "deal" she was offered, but they later made fun of her for not taking the "deal." (Gratuitous quotation marks from the article, not me.)

The 19-year-old inmate, who is serving jail time for multiple criminal damage to property convictions, said he then commented to the others that the black college student had probably never seen that kind of money before in her life. That was when a black inmate allegedly walked up to DG and hit him in the face twice.

Another inmate told law enforcement that DG never used a racial slur in the incident and didn't believe his comments were racially motivated.

VLD, 35, is due for his initial court appearance March 12 before Judge So-and-So on the felony charge of battery by a prisoner. The offense carries a maximum penalty of 6 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.

An officer reported that DG had red marks on the left side of his face following the alleged battery.

The inmate charged with battery is Jersey's father, the low-life. But honestly, how ridiculous can you get? Slapping someone over "Deal or No Deal" comments? (Although, my mom is sticking up for him, saying it wouldn't surprise her if all the other white inmates were lying about there not being any racial comments. Still, lame.)

*I've combined my frequent exasperation comments "Good Lord" and "Oh, brother" to "Good brother." Speedy and funny!
