God was arrested in Montgomery County, Ohio. Apparently, God, aka Jamie Calloway, 33, allegedly stalked a corrections officer she knew from a previous period in jail. For more of Calloway, check out her YouTube channel. "I am Godhead," she says. Hard to argue with her. "Ohio Woman Accused Of Stalking Corrections Officer" (WLWT)

    Well, Godforehead, anyway.

      Would that be Gilbert Godforehead?

  • jody

    Quickest way to enlightenment now.

  • methodius

    I always had a feeling that God was a stalker.

    • Brainspore

      That explains the second set of footprints…

  • Sparrow

    She seems to suffer from poor impulse control.

  • Xen0Phage

    Is it wrong to point out that it spells DOG when she looks in a mirror?  Maybe she just has a really low self esteem?

  • http://twitter.com/matcatastrophe mat catastrophe

    It’s a failure of the system when obviously deranged people are allowed to be released back into the population.

      I am registering 1000 unlikes to this comment, because what could possibly go wrong with such an idea? Everything!

        Are you serious?

        • Antinous / Moderator

          Since there’s no such thing as an unlike, no.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/Freethinkersanon Christopher

    You know who I think should be arrested? The artist who gave her that tatoo. Really, they could have done a better job with it.

    • vrplumber

      Yeah, that tattoo could have been good,  just needs one more o.

    • Comedian

      Yup.

      The G is too close to the O and the D is too far from the O.

      Maybe it is encouragement for her friend Dee.  Go D!

    God got arrested for stalking, but World Peace only got suspended 7 games for throwing that vicious elbow.

  • http://twitter.com/sbarlingen Sigrid van Barlingen

    The person who put the tattoo there should be arrested in the first place…

    • http://redesigned.com redesigned

      why?  sure it might not be a classy tatt, but poor taste is not an arrestable offense yet.

      unfortunately, a large percent of tatoos fall under the “poor taste” category, and they already have enough bad tattoos in jail.

    Wikipedia lists a bunch of different godheads, so which is it?

  • Brainspore

    She also has a tattoo that says “DEVIL” but it’s on the other end.

  • Culturedropout

    Imagine my surprise at hearing that a person with a giant tattoo on their forehead has previously done time in jail.  It’s almost as if… I don’t know… poor judgment affects all facets of life for people like that…?  Nah – that’s just crazy talk.

    • Antinous / Moderator

      Without the tattoo, she would look utterly unremarkable.  Usually the ones with words tattooed on their faces would be just as noticeable without the tattoos.

      • Mark_Frauenfelder

        As I recall the gentleman on the left has a tattoo on the back of his head that reads “GOT-R-DID.”

      • Petzl

         Aw, they’re all crying.

      • http://redesigned.com redesigned

        oh, i’m not so sure about that, this screen capture says otherwise! :-P

  • snagglepuss

    As if a stupid tattoo, and NOT the stalking of a corrections officer, were the indicator of mental aberrance.

    Or the idea that, with a tatt like that, she’d blend in while stalking her target. Nobody ever said that crazy and dumb were mutually exclusive.
