I do believe in spooks“.  And by spooks, I mean macabre cock and balls idly meandering through cemeteries. A man in Mississippi (emphasis on pee-pee) was recently caught naked in a church cemetery. Claiming he was trying to take photographs of spirits (obviously only possible in one’s birthday suit), the man explained that he removed his clothing because skin “is the best canvas to show spirits’ orbs of energy“; (balls).

The 47-year-old said he initially intended to remove only his shirt, but somehow ended up taking it all off, (somehow); – a move he now calls “stupid.” (Because no one, dead or alive, likes to look at old balls.) Authorities had set up a motion-activated camera in attempt to stop vandalism and caught the man on tape in the buff instead.

He now faces a misdemeanor charge of indecent exposure. But on the plus side, A&E has approached him about shooting a pilot for a new series: Paranormal Naked State.)

Ordinarily I’d say stories like these make me glad to live in NYC. But, since same-sex marriage is still illegal in NY State, well, I guess shit’s tough all over; particularly in one Mississippi school district stuck in the middle of the mickey fickey Bible Belt. Their prom scheduled for spring was cancelled after a lesbian student requested to attend with her girlfriend; and wear a tuxedo.

The student, an 18-year-old high school senior pictured here, said the prom cancellation was in retaliation for her efforts since the school’s policy requires that prom dates be of the opposite sex. The ACLU of Mississippi argued that banning same-sex prom dates violates constitutional rights. But instead of acquiescing to the student’s legal rights, the school board announced it wouldn’t host the event at all (because no event is better than one filled with those pesky gays).
