I hope no one tells this guy about Bob Fosse. He'll have a conniption.

Unfortunately they don't mention which religion it is, which is a shame because now when that comes up as a trivial pursuit question I'm not going to have an answer. :(

Sounds like his wife had a "private dancing lesson" with the instructor.

Kind of sounds like the pastor is just deranged actually. The church doesn't condone touching while dancing?

So what kind of dancing do they condone? Even holding hands like in square dancing would upset them with that kind of restriction.

"A Dane County prosecutor says 59-year-old Kevin Johnson of Baraboo hastily arranged a dance lesson at the instructor's Madison home and showed up with a stun gun and sledgehammer last Friday."


A stun gun AND a sledge hammer? Now that's a party!

I always read stuff like this as though I were reading a Stephen King novel about the friendly residents of Castle Rock and the outlying towns and burgs.

My church, on the other hand, doesn't condone dancing while touching.

This. As I go through life I find that yes Virginia there are Dickensian characters striding the globe in modern day garb, and there are also Kingsian characters. In greater numbers, to humanity's peril.

Also, if the dance instructor is gay, the pastor may be closeted or one of those hetero guys who is bitterly obsessed with how gay men get to touch women all the time and they don't. Yes the latter happens, at one job the uber-boss was gay. the pervy hetero guy couldn't stand how Non-Threatening Obviously Gay Boss could get away with tousling women's hair with no problem while Scuzzy Perv's pervy comments fell flat.

I wonder if the dance instructor felt as uncomfortable as I did reading that headline
 
2010-02-11 11:22:09 AM
Punishment: he should be hit repeatedly with a stun gun/taser the same number of times.

Then let him go.

FTFA A Dane County prosecutor says 59-year-old Kevin Johnson of Baraboo hastily arranged a dance lesson at the instructor's Madison home and showed up with a stun gun and sledgehammer last Friday.

OK, I'll be the first one to say that....hmmm....yeah I've pulled some shiat back in the day when I was a kid. Shiat. College.. But WHAT the fark was that?

Given that, I give explicit permission to Farkers to a pre-trial beat-down (and a promise not to sue) if my ass ever pulls anything like that.

Possibly Wisconsin Synod Lutheran (...at least they used to be against dancing when I was young, and they're not the type to modify their practices as time marches on.) Or possibly certain flavors of Baptist. I would expect that all of those ultraconservative Protestant dress-like-Little-House-on-the-Prairie sects don't approve of dancing, either.

The only thing I *am* quite sure of is that Brother Johnson truly believes that God Himself condones his unprovoked assaults.

Did a Florida state Representative get caught drunk driving six times?

Did the Florida DNR propose a hunting season on domestic cats?

Did the mayor of Florida's capital order the plows to clear the bike paths before the main roads during the biggest snowstorm of the year?

Did a Florida State Representative declare that it was useless to talk about climate change, because God decides what the weather will be like?

How many Florida parents killed their kids in an exorcism lately?

How many Florida preachers keep a dead woman's corpse on the toilet so they could pray for her resurrection?

Cannibalistic serial killers? Wisconsin 2, Florida 0.

/Wisconsin: It's Florida stupid, without the nice weather.

That's because a Florida tag is pretty much an automatic greenlight. It's like posting a list from Cracked.com. If it came from anyplace else it would be ignored.

florida greenlights wouldn't be greenlit if not florida huh?

again i refer to today's front page:
winning 15 grand in a disagreement over your pubic hair, whipping out your member at your rehabilitation officer in their office, hitting and commanding the police dog to sit while the officer's trying to have it search your car (lol), and losing a nut at a superbowl party.

you're saying these wouldn't be greenlit if happened in wisconsin?

i'm not saying the quality of idiocy in florida is higher, i'm saying the volume is.

My religion prohibits touching while being fat.

Having found stun guns to be ineffective, we've moved on to bear mace and mains power.

Yeah, we'd have to check the numbers.

Put together a few columns and label them capitalism, communism, fascism, environmentalism, secularism, and maybe anarchism and start entering numbers. Gather how many died under Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Reagan, Clinton, Churchill, Carson, Pol Pot, Bush, and Thatcher. Add 'em up.
