Sessions in the Tanning Bed in the barn for $2/20 minutes. Check. Hidden video recorder. Check. Discriminating taste. Check. The picture at the top of the article had me thinking one thing, but my view started to change once I watched the video interview that breaks up the text...

Tune in to 1:34 for this brilliant man's explanation of the Fatty Paradox. What a slimeball.

It's not 'paranoia' if you are, in fact, being watched.

What a douche.

Your view started to change once you found out about his No Fat Chicks rule?

I like how his "defense" basically boils down to: "Well, I was only going to violate them this far, but not THAT far, because that would be terrible."

And by "like", I mean, seeth with rage at the rationalizing sexism employs on a regular basis.

It's bad enough that I'm going to see this in the local paper tomorrow but why torture me by posting it to my beloved blue?

Well, this video isn't going to be helpful in his trial.

I'm trying to figure out what was different from "dude who looks like he belongs in jail" (the picture) to "dude who sounds like he belongs in jail" (the text).

This sort of thing is way more common than you would think. Why is this here?

This guy is far from the only one.

Go to any free porn site and you can find endless videos of people being unknowingly filmed while courting skin cancer. I kinda presume anyone paying for a tanning session is being filmed by crypto-videographers at this point.

"The tanning salon was in a barn behind Griffis’ home, Mueller said, and patrons paid $2 for 20 minutes in the tanning bed. The women said customers would insert their money into a slot in the wall, then lie in the bed in whatever state of undress they chose."

Two dollars, in a slot in the wall in a barn.

I can see how you'd think this was legit.

Damn it Florida, don't you realize the rest of the world has almost forgotten about us? With all the crazy stuff in Wisconsin, Texas, etc. We were quietly falling off people's radar.

Smith said detectives have begun trying to identify the females in the recordings.

Wait a minute, go right, stop. Enhance 57 to 19. Track 45 left. Stop. Enhance 15 to 23. Give me a hard copy right there.

“I just like to look at pretty girls naked,” Griffis said in a jailhouse interview Wednesday morning. “And it got to a point where it got out of hand.”
That seems like an entirely reasonable legal defense.

Well, whether or not this post gets deleted, it certainly is extraordinary in its own way. College Humor and Funny or Die are probably kicking themselves that they didn't stick Ron Jeremy in an orange jumpsuit and handcuffs and having him explain how only the fat chicks seemed to mind the possibility that they were being secretly taped.

I think you misunderestimate America's memory.
