And now, from the "So THIS is what they do in Wisconsin for fun?!" files, and Yahoo! News...

Sudiegirl sez: No cameras were harmed in the mocking of this article. However, I experienced a similar incident when I worked for Farm Bureau Insurance Claims Center in 1994...I came in to work on a Monday morning and found a photocopy of someone's wanker on my desk. Nobody in the office owned up to it (they all said it was too small, ar ar). So I can certainly identify with these women, and I'm sure they did the same thing I did...they cried a loud and resounding "EEEEWWWWW!" So say "Cheese" and read on...


Man Accused of Placing Lewd Photos on Cars
Sat Oct 22, 7:52 AM ET

WEST BEND, Wis. - A 40-year-old man faces charges accusing him of placing photographs of his genitalia on the cars of women who parked at shopping centers. (Ya know, I guess I'm not all that surprised in this day and age. However, I'm not so jaded that I can honestly say I am OK with it. EEEWWW)

The criminal complaint filed Thursday against Jeffrey J. Hein of Hartford said he told investigators he placed the photos on their cars because he thought they "would find it funny." (Well, humor is as humor does...I guess...)

Hein was charged Thursday in Washington County Circuit Court with eight counts of lewd and lascivious behavior and five counts of disorderly conduct, all misdemeanors. (Well, what about his photographic technique? Was he critqued? How was the lighting? The artiste in me needs to know if his genius was properly nurtured.)

The complaint alleges Hein placed the photographs on cars seven different times, with the first occurring on Aug. 25 at a ShopKo store in West Bend and the most recent Tuesday at Hobby Lobby in West Bend. (Now, what I want to know is...how's he get all this free time? Or does he have a "photography session" where he photographs the wanker, and then "distribution hours"? Again, I want to know the logistics of this because it seems to be a rather efficient process, and I don't really know how a person with a regular job and adult responsibilities finds the time to pursue their dream...)

Other episodes allegedly occurred at Paradise Golf, a Wal-Mart, a Kmart and a Sally Beauty Supply Store, all in West Bend, according to the complaint. (Well, you can't fault him for not patronizing local businesses. I'm sure the West Bend Chamber of Commerce is delighted!)

Assistant District Attorney Holly Bunch told Circuit Judge Annette Ziegler during a hearing Thursday at which bail was set at $3,000 that at least 14 additional charges would be filed Friday against Hein. (So apparently, this hobby takes him "on the road" at times. Hey, it's just like crochet or knitting...it's portable!)

Other charges could also be filed in other counties, Bunch said.

The criminal complaint said Hein told investigators he was inspired by a pornographic Web site to photograph his private parts and then sell the pictures to the Web site. (Ah yes...blame it on the Web. Good philosophy.)

But, when he was unable to do that, he "came up with the idea to play a joke on strangers" by putting the photographs in envelopes and attaching them to cars belonging to women, whom he picked at random whenever he went shopping, the complaint said. (So apparently he had a LOT of free time on his hands...hmmm...how could he afford the film since he obviously doesn't work!?)

Authorities said the vehicles belonged to women ranging in age from their teens to the mid-40s.
Investigators said Hein told them some of the women laughed when they looked at the photos. (I'm sorry to say this...even though I'm a card carrying heterosexual, the thought of a stranger's penis photographed and shared with me is just inherently funny...I guess because the penis is a funny looking organ in general. When you're with someone you love and care about, you recognize its wonder and majesty, but someone else's just looks weird, like a Muppet reject of some sort.)

If convicted on all counts filed Thursday, Hein could be imprisoned up to five years and nine months and fined up to $85,000. His next court appearance is scheduled Wednesday. (Will he have a complimentary photo package for the judge?)

Sudiegirl's final word?

I hear this is how Bob Crane started out...and look where he ended up.

Photo-shy and proud of it...
