In
what appears to be a strong bid to beat out both Florida and drunk feral hogs
as the unofficial mascot of this blog, the State of Oklahoma comes strong again
today. The scourge, this time, is Carneys. The crime is fraud. The object is Hello Kitty dolls. Apparently
huge ones. The underlying theme is that Tulsa is apparently so free of major
crime now that detectives (not routine officers – full fledged detectives) are
sent to investigate Carneys.

| Hello Kitty does not approve!! |
Here’s
how it all went down: (as passed on by Opposingviews.com):
Oklahoma
news station News
On 6 reports that a man working a game booth at the Tulsa state fair
allowed patrons to bribe him with money in exchange for Hello Kitty dolls.
The
man, Frank Feikema, was arrested (yes, arrested) when an undercover Tulsa
police officer struck a deal with him: for $40, if the officer popped a balloon
with a dart, he would automatically get the highest prize at the booth – the
Hello Kitty doll.
According
to the deputy, this agreement represents a serious breach of fair prize
protocol.
“The
rules state that the participant must win a certain number of each size prize
to trade up for a larger prize," the deputy’s report said. "You
continue to trade up until the largest prize is won."
"I
took a dart, popped a balloon on the first try, handed him $40 and asked for
one of the largest prizes," the deputy said. "He handed me the Hello
Kitty that I asked for and I walked away."
Five
minutes later, the deputy and his fellow officers arrested Feikema and charged
him with fraud.
I crap you negative dear readers. The Tulsa police department busted a Carney
for “serious breach of fair prize protocol.”
Nice police-work there, Lou. Nice work.
Florida and Drunken Feral Hogs, your turn to step up or risk losing the title.
