Shannon Stapleton/ReutersIs it a crime to poop in a Pringles can and then hurl that can into the parking lot of a crime-victim advocacy center? Maybe not, but it’s certainly an act worthy of punishment, according to the Ohio Supreme Court, which suspended the poop-slinging attorney at the heart of the bizarre incident on Tuesday. Jack Blakeslee, whose previously unblemished record now has a decidedly large, brown stain on it, was suspended from practicing law for a period of one year, with six m

        Not that he isn’t a dickhole, but…that’ll…show them…? How did anyone else even notice this enough to care? Someone so poorly underpaying the cleaner guy that he opened a discarded parking lot pringles can in search of food?

          He drove past the … victim advocacy center … and was captured on surveillance cameras throwing the can into the center’s parking lot.

          If you pick up what is supposed to be an empty can and it weighs like a pound and a half… you’re gonna be curious and look inside at least once.

            I am so absolutely not doing that, no. Maybe it’s a whole pound of free cocaine. Maybe god finally smiled on me and it’s a very ill-planned potato chip bomb like that experiment where you use a whole potato to power a light bulb. Probably it’s some kid’s lost gravel collection.

            Whatever it is, it’s not going to be something whoever had the can last was dying for anyone to have and I don’t get paid enough to care.

          My guess is that it exploded and caused a mess. There’s no way that held together. Pringles cans are literally made out of paper thin cardboard with a little bit of glue holding it all together.

      Well, poop analysis showed there were wolf hair and pieces of credit card in it. So, still inconclusive.
