The forgotten victims: Wal-Mart photo processing clerks

An Arizona man has pleaded guilty to having sex with one of his dogs. Why do the authorities think he did it? He reportedly took photos and dropped them off at Wal-Mart for processing. (Why he took photos, I have no idea.)

I just wanted to take a moment to reflect on that poor Wal-Mart clerk who cracked open the film canister and spied within the love that dare not bark its name. And who, despite what must have been an unstoppable case of dry heaves and hysterical blindness, was able to call the police. Godspeed, sir. Or ma'am.

Mega-Hat-Tip to eephus!

"the love that dare not bark it's name"

Not sure whether to laugh or cry at that one, James. Very nice.

["The G"]

I found that one more than funny as well...

[onetime]

don't most people just kick thier dog?

[Scott]

I can't believe we're wasting taxpayer resources on stuff like this.

[jpbikerfreak]

I think we should have dateline NBC do a special on this. They could pose as dog owners and lure people in to have sex with their dogs, then confront them.

Of course they'd have to have a van full of detectives in SWAT gear ready to pounce on the sicko as he leaves.

Now that would make some great showbiz. I bet eventually even Miss America would try to cash in on it.

[What Ever]

This is just SICK!!!!!!!

[JJHawq]

"was accused of having sex with and sexually assaulting at least one of his dogs"

What's the difference?

I guess it wasn't consentual...

[jalovsky]

poor guy a sexual psycho no doubt.

[Oldman]

what....

no one ever heard
'Ya screwed the pooch"?

[socogirl]

Good Lord! Deliverance revisited.

[OhMy]

Ahhh....the dog days of summer.

[sweetlou]

I assume it was "doggy style."

[spicolli]

That would make for some "ruff" sex...

[TT]

The man should be executed.
Exodus 22:19

[jpbikerfreak]

According to the bible I think just about everyone should be executed TT.

[mike]

Maybe it was consensual.

Don't let Nifong get wind of it -

[DSW]

How is this a "wasting taxpayer resources" or do you think its ok for this guy to be doing it doggie style with a doggie?

If this guy is this sick I think its a safe bet to say we all are safer with him behind bars.

Sick, somewhat funny or sad......no no just sick.

It may be sick but apparently it is not a crime in his state. Now what?

[BoulderBabe]

what scares me more than a guy nailing his pooch is that photo clerks have the ability to look at your photos then call the cops and get you arrested?

THAT IS JUST SCARY? And isnt that an invasion of privacy?

Where does it stop? Are they going to call the cops if they see a pipe in the background of a party pic?

Makes me glad I have a digital camera and do my photos myself!

[EP]

I wonder if there was any fore play and oral sex. Maybe not fore play it's four paws

[okobojicat]

RE: BoulderBabe

You give up the right to personal privacy when you give them your photos. If you are breaking the law, they have the obligation to call the cops.

If you are putting a child or pet in danger, they should call the cops. Buy a digital camera if you want to photograph yourself doing illegal stuff.

[Gromit]

"Bark!" means "No!"

[Turkey]

Just because he worked at Walmart does not give him the right to take pictures of people having sex with his parrot and post it on the interweb where children can find thems.

[Jim]

Does this mean we're finally going to hear the end of that whole "Who let the dogs out" crap?

[Jim]

Buy a digital camera if you want to photograph yourself doing illegal stuff.

That hardly helps you if you want a nice 8x10 for the dog's parents, though...

[huh?]

1. why do you feel he worked at Wal-Mart?

2. how do you have sex with a parrot exactly?

3. What is the 'interweb?'

I do agree that IF there was a clerk at Wal-Mart, and IF that clerk happened to take a photo of someone having sex with a parrot, and IF they then posted it within reach of children on the 'interweb' he would definitely be violating someone's rights. But since this hypothetical has nothing to do with the story, I'm not sure why I'm still talking about it, so I'll just stop.

I had friends that got busted this way in high school for stealing all of the 69th St and 69th Ave signs off of gravel roads. They took pictures, got busted, and had to pay something like $200 for every sign they could identify in the pictures, it was bad.

[Alan West]

It was correct in the article, then the 1st comment has "it's" instead of "its." Is it sooo hard to cut and paste?

[mike]

I love it when criminals take pictures of themselves doing illegal things ... it's called evidence and it helps the entire process along. I therefore encourage all criminals to frequently take as many photos of themselves as possible. You're out there anyway, go ahead and make some memories.

[BoulderBabe]

OKIBOJICAT-

I am amazed that you can type since you obviously can't read....

you are going to tell me to get a digital camera when at the end of my post I clearly wrote that I am glad I have my own digital camera....

[mike]

BoulderBabe - that post is called 'flamebait.' It's when you miss the point of the original post and go off on a tangent to bait the other poster into an argument.

[Sandra]

Does 'doggie style' mean he sits up and begs and she rolls over and plays dead? What does that say about the women he's been seeing? lol!

[You're a Mean Drunk R2D2™]

**sniffs** I smell farkers, and dog farkers.

James, great headline. I loved it!

[Jim]

This is just bringing animal husbandry to an absurd level...

[PLEASE SIGN YOUR COMMENTS!]

maybe the dog got him drunk and took advantage of him.

[RMZ]

This was the same guy who walked out on his lap dances!!

[Woofman Jack]

Sexually assaulting?

Come on! The way that dog was groomed, she was asking for it.

[not an invasion of privacy]

in response to someone who asked if the clerks looking at his photos was an invasion of privacy... no. Constitutionally, our privacy is protected only from the Government. There are no privacy laws that keep other citizens from sniffing around our business.

[Malcolm]

There will be a lawsuit over this one.

[Jerk]

I once saw pics that were questionable at best of a woman and her daughter...but walmart refused to call the cops and I did personally. I was unceremoniously released from my duties a short time later.

[sklurben]

let us not forget Mr. Buble

That's just gross! haha

Yeah, sorry about that, I couldn't resist.

[eephus]

Whew! What a reaction! FYI, the AZ sodomy law was repealed back in 2001 but the bestiality part has apparently been reinstated. Anyway, they charged this guy with "felony animal cruelty", for which this little incident certainly qualifies.

[Angela]

I used to work for a Wal-mart photolab, and yes you see sick stuff sometimes, but that takes the cake.

[Bruce]

Brings a whole new meaning to givin' the dog a bone.

[kcskip]

Teaching an old dog new tricks.

[Doc™]

Maybe should of bought that new digital camera he was thinking of..............

[Malcolm]

How in the world can this be called animal cruelty? The dog had a smile on his face.

[jac]

As a person that works in a photo lab. Walmart has guidelines and we must report activity like this to the manager and then the call the police. I have reported several sex and physcal abuse to managers and they have taken action. So be happy at least someone is looking for these sick people cuz next he could have come after someone.

[farker]

so did the dog get a restraining order or just a new leash on life??

[snarky]

Actually, this guy has it figured out. There are so many reasons why a dog is better than a girlfriend -

* Dogs love it when your friends come over.

* Dogs don't care if you use their shampoo.

* Dogs think you sing great.

* A dog's time in the bathroom is confined to a quick drink.

* Dogs don't expect you to call when you're running late. The later you are, the more excited they are to see you.

* Dogs will forgive you for playing with other dogs.

* Dogs don't notice if you call them by another dog's name.

* Dogs don't mind if you give their offspring away.

* Dogs love red meat.

* Anyone can get a good looking dog.

* If a dog is gorgeous, other dogs don't hate it.

* Dogs don't shop.

* Dogs like it when you leave lots of stuff on the floor.

* A dog's disposition stays the same throughout the entire month.

* Dogs never need to examine the relationship.

* A dog's parents never visit.

* Dogs understand that instincts are better than asking for directions.

* Dogs don't hate their bodies.

* No dog ever put on 100 pounds after reaching adulthood.

* Dogs agree that you have to raise your voice to get your point across.

* Dogs don't care about or get jealous of any other dog you ever had.

* Dogs like to do their snooping outside as opposed to in your wallet desk and the backs of your drawers.

* Dogs don't let magazine articles guide their lives.

* Dogs would rather you buy them a hamburger dinner rather than lobster.

* You never have to wait for a dog. They're always ready to go.

* Dogs have no use for flowers, cards, or jewelry.

* Dogs don't borrow your shirts.

* Dogs aren't catty.

* Dogs seldom outlive you.

Guess he took the meaning of the word b**** too literally.

[Curious]

No one has answered the important question- did they get stuck together afterward?!

[apres moi le deluge]

["The love that dare not bark it's name" (sic, see top)] Not sure what's worse: a guy who has sex with his dog then takes the film into WalMart for processing, or the poster who reads about the guy who has sex with his dog, etc., next spies James's clever referencing of an 1896 poem by Lord Alfred Douglas in re: Oscar Wilde, but then cannot so much as copy verbatim the phrase and winds up sticking in (no pun) an unnecessary possessive apostrophe. [Conclusion: a rare link between bad grammar and an interest in interspecial sex and/or overblown phrases from 19th c. poems has been exposed. Or over-exposed.]

[I Know]

Are you the kid that just won the national spelling bee, cuz that's some "Jeopardy: Rainman Edition" stuff right there.

Just wishing I had never clicked on this.

[ROBERT VERMILLION]

A FUN SPORT...MY PROBLEM IS LOOSING MY"MANHOOD" WHEN I GET OFF AND MOVE TO THE FRONT TO KISS HER....LOL

[bbgunn]

Is that a milk bone in your pocket, or are you just excited to see me?

[Imprtnrd]

Iv'e heard of women doing this too. Don't know of any personally but Iv'e heard about it. They go as far as dogs, horeses, donkeys. Men are not the only sick ones.

[namnoc]

Guess he gave the dog a boner

[Tina]

For all of you who think it's funny, then let someone screw you in the ass and see if it's funny. It doesn't matter if it was a dog or not. It was sick.

[john of sparta]

film?

what's that?

re:BoulderBabe

Do you think the pictures come out by magic?

Of course they have to look at them! Someone has print the pictures and package the prints.

And everyone photo lab is required to contact the police if children or animals are involved.
