....police investigated a Christian youth group after the mother of one of its members complained about an activity during which her 14-year-old son wore a diaper and bonnet while sitting on a girl's lap.

The boy described the activity as a "contest" where he and two other boys wore bonnets, diapers over their clothing and bibs. They sat "on the laps of female participants while being fed baby food and soda" from a baby bottle, police said.

"While the specifics of these activities may be viewed as unorthodox, based on the investigation, there is nothing to indicate that any crime occurred," Truver said in an e-mail.

What? They haven’t criminalized wearing diapers over your pants yet?

Our legislators are a disgrace.

from the article:

***Raeder, [the district director, gc] who was not present during the event, noted that it was the boy’s mother — not the boy — who complained. “I think he actually had a great time.”***

So that makes it OK?

***While the specifics of these activities may be viewed as unorthodox***

That is an understatement.

In a related story, a group of teens entangled their bodies in a grotesque fashion all over a large coded psychadelic latex sheet reminiscent of some ancient orgy ritual.

They called it “Twister.”

I think we need to lighten up a little.

“Not a lot must be going on in Pittsburgh.”

Sometimes, no news is good news.
