Jerry Sandusky's defense lawyer tried to brush off reporters who wanted to know about the eyewitness accounts of his client raping children. Counsel Joe Amendola told reporters who believed this testimony, "I suggest you dial 1-800-REALITY." That turns out to be the number of a phone-sex line.

    “I suggest you dial 1-800-REALITY…  They’ll be able to tell the kind of stuff my client usually goes for.  WEIRD stuff, man.  Like there ought to be a law against it.  …Oh yeah.  Uh…  No comment.”

      It’s like a Sacramento Turtleneck but with maple syrup.

      P.S. “Please wait…” just to use a text box? Something tells me something else is going on behind the scenes with Disqus.

    Even if it wasn’t a sex-line, that would would go down as a particularly lame attempt at sarcasm, like when people put 101 at the end of things: “What is this, Reality 101?”  It’s like these people learn how to make jokes from badly written television.

      When ‘If it doesn’t fit, you must acquit’ actually worked, we lost a piece of our collective soul.

        If “Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome” taught us anything, it’s that in the future all legal arguments must take the form of a rhyme.

    That number can also spell “REALGUY(s)”.  There’s a company in Philly that does nothing but find numbers like that to attach to sex lines.  They get ‘busted’ by the local news every few months when they’ve got nothing else to report.

    1984 called, they want their sarcasm back.

    Sarcasm, that’s original!

    The sad thing is that the guy really thought he was nailing them with that line. What an ignorant douche… I take it back, it’s not sad, it’s just pathetic.

    “Yeah? Well the jerk store called, and they’re running out of you!”

    “Will THEY talk about eyewitness reports of your client raping little boys?”

    I’d love to see him try that line on the judge.

    It’s bedtime on Paterno’s Mountain, and the Penn State football team is doing its nightly ritual. But something is bothering McQueary…

    “…G’nite, JohnBoy. G’nite, JoePa.”
    “G’nite, Bobby. G’nite, McQueary.”

    (silence)

    “McQueary?”
    “Say, JoePa, I saw Jear-Bear dicking* one of his charity boys in the shower yesterday and…”
    “Now don’t you worry, son, JoePa will take care of it in the morning. Awright?”
    “Awright. G’nite, JoePa…”
