The Right Not to Be Spoofed

Georgia wins the prize for having the thinnest-skinned teacher ever. He's hitting a fifteen-year-old student with criminal charges for a spoof website.

A Henry County high school student is facing criminal charges after posting comments about his teacher on the Web site, MySpace.com. It was supposed to be a joke, but the student’s teacher was so offended, he filed defamation of character charges against the student – and another student may also be facing charges. ... Teacher Robert Muzzillo pursued the charges against Alex and another student after noticing a profile with his name attached on MySpace.com. The profile talks about Muzzillo liking Michael Jackson and having a “gay old time,” like the Fred Flintstone song.

Ironic: by suing the student, Muzzillo is proving to be a much bigger jackass than the website ever made him out to be.
