Considering that the perp was a professor, this doesn’t surprise me a bit, after what we’ve seen here in Wisconsin this past year. This is a typical, childish, teacher prank.

This is a typical, childish, teacher prank.

And a union one. I used to live next door to a Teamster who just lived to do stuff like this. Coulda been very wealthy if he had plowed just 1/10 of that effort into doing something productive.

Laura Ann Sills, DGK vice president of administration, presents Bob Furnad with the 2009 Distinguished Achievement Award in Broadcasting.

His last three years at CNN, Furnad was president of CNN Headline News, CNN Radio, CNN Airport Network and CNN Newsource. He reorganized and re-launched Headline News, creating new work procedures utilizing the latest technologies resulting in lower cost and more resources for news gathering and creating production elements. He retired in January 2001 after 17 years at CNN.

Also, in 2001, Furnad worked on a television news project for the Kuwait government and, as part of Intelligent Media Consultants, worked with executives at the NDTV networks in India. That same year, he joined the University of Georgia's Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication as a visiting associate professor. He retired from UGA in May 2006.

"Neighbors Benjamin Dameron and Ralph Miller..."

A couple? Was this a "hate crime" by the CNN professor?

UGA?

Go Bulldogs! Go in their mailbox!

Or maybe the CNN exec is gay.

It will be interesting to see if the US Postal service charges the perp.
Messing with the mail is a serious offense. Or putting mess in the mail as the case may be.

The USPS Domestic Mail Manual states that “no part of a mail receptacle may be used to deliver any matter not bearing postage, including items of matter placed upon, supported by, attached to, hung from, or inserted into a mail receptacle.” In other words, the mailbox may not be used for anything other than for pieces of mail with postage attached. The USPS Domestic Mail Manual goes on to states that it is a federal offense and there is a significant penalty for violating this law which could include jail time.

It’s a federal offense to mess with anybody’s mailbox, but of course he won’t be charged.

[gov_bean_ counter]

At least he didn’t send “junk” mail...

What are things coming to when you can’t give your neighbor a piece of your mind?

[razorback-bert]

So, when putting dog doo Ina mailbox, attach a stamp.

[Jumpmaster]

That was Obama campaign literature!

[KarlInOhio]

Basically the same thing CNN does to millions thousands dozens of households at a time.

It's not just anybody's mail box. It belongs to the U.S. government, even if you bought it and installed it yourself.

She’s cute. And he’s got a pretty firm grip on her waist. Must be nice to work there.
