Don't worry, I've seen that from plenty of "normal" people.

A goth who leads his girlfriend around with a dog lead and collar was stopped from getting on a bus amid fears for passenger safety, a bus firm confirmed. Dani Graves, 25, and his fiancee Tasha Maltby, 19, of Dewsbury, West Yorks, claim they have been discriminated against by bus firm Arriva Yorkshire.
The black-clad couple said they had been told to leave one bus and prevented from boarding another.
The bus firm said safety came first, but it was investigating the complaint.
Bus operator Arriva claimed other passengers could be put at risk if the bus braked sharply.
Operations director for Arriva Yorkshire, Paul Adcock, said: "Arriva takes any allegation of discrimination very seriously and have interviewed the driver regarding Mr Graves' claims.
"Our primary concern is passenger safety and while the couple are very welcome to travel on our buses, we are asking that Miss Maltby remove her dog lead before boarding the bus.
"It could be dangerous for the couple and other passengers if a driver had to brake sharply while Miss Maltby was wearing the lead."
The company said it was writing to Mr Graves "to apologise for any distress caused by the way this matter was handled".
He looks a lot like Tiny Tim.
Don't worry...I saw the National Organization for Women sit on their hands for eight years while Bill Clinton raped, groped, and serially abused a half dozen women. As long as dog collared women don't threaten abortion on demand, the feminists won't say a word.
Not sure this qualifies for a....
Doggie Ping.....
But..... who knows!
She’s a complete and total tool and he’s a doofus.
I wouldn’t date a chick like that.
Don’t worry, I’ve seen plenty of goth chicks with boyfriends on leashes... actually mostly I’ve seen fourteen year old girls dressed “goth” taking turns leading each other around.
Saddest thing I ever saw goth-wise was the goth couple whose baby had a studded dog collar on. At least the kid didn’t have a leash.
Women in Chains ping.
Hey, screen name twin. How do you manage to dig up all these weird articles?! LOL
...but are they married?
***There’s a giant step forward for feminism***
LOL!
Woof!

Now, now, let's not judge. Multiculturalism and all that. </sarc>
But that was my first thought too.
doubtful. makes them even lower. especially if they’re co-habitators.
darn cohabitators and they’re crackhead, baby-killing, going to hell children. speaking of which.. how’s the freeloader? she decide what she’s going to do in the guard?
if she finishes school early, will she still get to be valedictorian in june?
Weird articles are drawn to me like magnets!
Goth ping, if you’re still around.
I like his coat. The girl, though, does not have enough piercings for my taste.
She needs to walk in front (land mines, you know).
I prefer the “clicker” method.
