It's Bad Behavior Friday™!

A lady in L.A. is suing the Angels baseball team because she didn't receive a tote bag in a recent giveaway -- despite receiving four of the bags when she wrote to complain. Most bizarre statement in the story:
"They claimed they didn't have any more bags, but my client said there was a mountain of bags stacked so high a show dog couldn't have jumped over them," said Alfred Rava, Cohn's San Diego-based attorney.
A show dog? Yeah, that's exactly the picture that comes to mind.

A worker at Stanford Hospital stole millions of dollars of equipment and outfitted a room in his home as a hospital suite, allegedly so criminals could receive under-the-table medical care. How did cops draw that conclusion? Because the equipment, and the fully furnished "hospital room," were discovered when cops raided the house and discovered a meth lab. The house is located in East Palo Alto, a poverty-stricken town adjacent to Palo Alto where generations of Stanford students have scored drugs.

Hey, the NY Daily News is always good for a Friday story: In yet another case of a "shock jock" DJ being fired for shooting off his mouth just a little too much, a guy known as Star "says he never really intended to hunt down and molest the 4-year-old daughter of a radio rival." Too late -- he's fired, and a local prosecutor from the child abuse division is looking at the case.

But hey, it's a free country, right? Did he really go too far? Judge for yourself:
In a running diatribe that began last week and continued on Monday, Star, who hosted a morning show with Buc Wild, offered $500 for information about where he could find Envy's children.

Star, who bills himself as "The Hater" and is a self-professed former high school bully, said he planned to perform deviant sexual acts on the Caseys' 4-year-old daughter.

He also said he had a gun -- and offered listeners $500 to tell him where DJ Envy's daughter goes to school.

Star didn't stop there. He insulted DJ Envy's wife -- and pelted her with anti-Asian slurs.
The pelting was merely figurative, after all.
