Fast Money & Foreign Objects

It's time, once again, to marvel at some idiots who don't know how to handle the world:
Cry-Baby #1: Pennsylvania State Police
Photos via Google Maps and Facebook
The incident: A 14-year-old simulated oral sex on a statue of Jesus for the sake of a photo.
The appropriate response: Nothing.
The actual response: He was arrested.
Back in July, an unnamed 14-year-old boy in Everett, PA, posed for several pictures with a statue of Jesus. In one of the photos, which you can see above, he pretended Jesus was giving him a blowjob.
He posted this photo, along with another photo of him standing on the statue with his arms in the air, on his Facebook page.
Somehow, somebody at the district attorney's office saw the photos on the teen's Facebook page, and forwarded them to state police.
The state police then launched what they referred to as an "investigation," into the incident, and decided to move forward with arresting the boy.
He was charged under a 1927 law which makes it a crime to "desecrate a venerated object." His case will be held in a juvenile court. According to Kron4, the teen could face two years in jail if convicted.
A reporter from the Daily Mail contacted the church where the incident took place, and a spokesperson said they didn't want the boy arrested. "Our request was for prayer for the young man," the spokesperson said.
