UPI ^ | January 13, 2010

DENVER, Jan. 13 (UPI) -- A Colorado man adulterated labels on bottles of Gatorade with photos of admitted adulterer Tiger Woods and his wife, federal authorities alleged Wednesday.

The bottles, which were found on shelves of stores in Erie, Boulder, Longmont, and Broomfield, carried labels with images of the world's top golfer and his wife Elin Nordegren with the word "Unfaithful," officials said.

Jason Eric Kay, 38, of Longmont was charged with misbranding and altering food labels with intent to seriously harm a person's business, the U.S. Attorney's Office and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said in a release. He was to be held overnight and appear in U.S. District Court in Denver Thursday.

If convicted, Kay could face up to five years in prison and up to $450,000 in fines.

Well, I'm glad I never tried that for a prank.

I’m bad, his prank is pretty darn funny! Wow, costly way to get a laugh or make a statement. Wonder if he can reverse sue Gatorade for false advertisement? The guy just corrected their problem....can’t he claim he was looking out for their interest? We sure have some funny folks in this country. :)

I think the crime here is tampering with food stuff.

Of course it seems he did nothing to alter the contents themselves, but after all of the poisonings that have gone unsolved, this poor fellow may find himself in deep trouble as an example.

So true! They should be paying him for coming up with a new drink-name...I think it would be a best seller/collectible.
