Scorned Wife Exacts Revenge on Hubby, Entertains Us
NBC New York ^ | 8/27/09

Posted on 08/27/2009 12:23:01 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Shame can be a powerful punishment. Just ask the guy who had to stand at the corner of Leesburg Pike and International Drive in Tysons Corner, Va., this morning. You know, the guy wearing the sign that said, "I CHEATED. THIS IS MY PUNISHMENT."

A man who identified himself as William Taylor of Centreville, Va. told a passerby that he cheated on his wife -- and she found evidence of it on his cell phone. So the wife allegedly doled out a rather creative punishment: He had to stand at the intersection during morning rush, wearing the handmade sign. We haven't quite decided if this is a publicity stunt for some wacky YouTube channel or a ratings-driver for a morning radio station. But if it's true, we like it. We. Are. Amused.

People reported seeing him as early as 9 a.m., and his presence was discussed on several of D.C.'s morning radio shows. Taylor said his wife texted him a little before 11 a.m. and said he'd been out there long enough. He removed the sign and skedaddled.

Leesburg Pike in Tysons Corner is one of the most traffic-clogged arteries in the area, making for maximum viewing pleasure.

Hope it was worth it, buddy.

This doesn’t accomplish jack! He’s scum and she’s stupid for bringing attention to it and embarrassing the whole family! Now what? Do they go back to business as usual? Unless this is a normal part of their lifestyle, she’ll NEVER forget and NEVER forgive completely.

Hey, if a man did this to a woman, we’d never hera the end of “abuse.” Why, then, can a woman to it to a man?

Because America is the Land of the Hypocrites and the Home of the Politically Correct.

If a wife was standing out there with a sign saying she cheated on her husband, it would humiliate him as much, or more.

Plus, every guy would be hitting on her.

It would backfire on him.

She got his testicles in a lock box now for sure.

Trust me on this: if he agreed to do this "punishment" in the first place, it was his Mom who already had 'em for earrings long before the wife arrived on the scene.

I like this comment -
(Afternote: to be shamed, people must be sensitive, so no good us putting any of our politicians on a street corner with a banner saying ‘We betrayed the country over the last 12 years and stole millions in the guise of ‘expenses’ and tax free allowances’ ‘ because they have no shame!

I don't think "normal" has anything to do with that relationship. It's good that he's willing to do something to show his repentance, but I don't think public humiliation is the answer. It's not what I'd be looking for.

Northern Virginia - probably the same lockbox the RATs use for Social Security.

Ours are trying hard to be more like theirs.
