Reality Roll Call

Ask anyone in the African-American community and they will tell you that nothing is funnier than the wacky hi-jinks that result when you mix an innocent black man and the police. And any man will attest to hilarity of being falsely accused of statutory rape. And of course, we’ve all heard the side-splitting stories of what can go wrong when Americans are arrested for serious crimes overseas. So, when comedian Chris Rock was arrested while on tour in South Africa for having sex with a British minor, as part as a prank for a U.S. reality show, I’m sure he laughed till he peed his pants. Minus the laughing.

The unnamed show went all out for this asinine prank; hiring an actor to play a fake prosecutor who appeared in court to demand that Rock be prosecuted and jailed. Fortunately, the court did not go along with the “joke”. Rock caught wind of his impending legal troubles and immediately hired lawyers to investigate the charges. I’m still wondering when it was going to get funny.

Matt Roloff, star of the TLC reality show Little People, Big World was found not guilty of DUI by a Washington County, Oregon judge on January 10th, after the jury for the case was dismissed for violation court rules.

The jury on the case deliberated three hours before going home for the evening on Wednesday. When they returned the next day, they asked questions that led the judge to conclude that they had looked up legal terms on the internet, one of the things they were specifically instructed not to do.

After the jury was dismissed, Roloff dismissed his right to a jury trial, and petitioned the judge for a directed verdict. The judge found Mr. Roloff not guilty.

But it looks like a lawsuit does, because it seems that Jon has decided to press charges. It really doesn’t look like a malicious act on the part of Danny Bonaduce, but maybe I am seeing the video from the wrong angle. Or not. From the looks of the video, this happened at the Fox Reality Really Awards taping.
