[Spridgets] How Ron Soave got sent to jail

[Lester]

And that is what they will read, Midget PORN,not SPRIDGET PORN..  That’s at least two hours of explaining right there!

Back then the U "rolled their own" e-mail system, but over time they adopted Google's G-Mail like "everyone" else. I guess that's a partnership where Google does the heavy lifting, but the U is still heavily involved in day to day situations. For instance, last Friday a U Gmail subscriber reported to the IT dept that they were receiving abusive mail from a third party. IT responded by redirecting the victim's e-mail to an officer of the law at the police department. To do that they had to write a bit of code - you know, that stuff that's just full of punctuation marks and other unreadable (by a human being) stuff. If you mess up one little comma bad things can happen. Well, in this case, something bad did happen. Instead of the victim's e-mail going to the police, everyone with a U e-mail address had their incoming e-mail sent to the police - overnight Friday into early Saturday morning.

Ron says, "I didn't shoot anyone." Well then, how many gas stations did you rob? Ron says, "I didn't rob any stations." "What are you in here for then, Soave?" "I send SPRIDGET PORN to a cop." You gotta think that of all the reasons for going to jail that this reason won't set you very high in the pecking order of jail life. It's like Alice's Restaurant all over again. Guilty of having 8 x 10 black & white, glossy, Spridget porn.
