No doubt. Not sure what's up with it, but it's incredibly stupid.

It's not even to just prisoners, it's an attitude/behavior quite frequent in the military. Even though most are very homophobic, homo-eroticism is kind of rampant, but hilarious at the same time. But to me, it almost just seems like an extension of high school behavior, because quite a bit of that was common in my high school, so it just seems how us city kids are growing up these days.

I would hardy consider tea bagging a Boys thing. Must be a bunch of fags at that school. This stuff needs to stop asap. I hope the perp goes to jail.

Yeah. Or else people might just assume that he uses bodywash and a poof in the shower.

What we have here is an act of bullying, not a sexual assault.

Bullying shouldn't be allowed, but in most cases there is no need to involve the police.

This reminds me of a report done (not sure by whom) about some hazing done at a high school. It was in a fairly small town, and the high school football was the big thing in the town (I don't think it was in Texas before anyone asks, although I might be wrong). Anyways, they had typical hazing rituals, but there was a case that was just completely WTF. A group of the players basically surrounded a kid in the locker room, taped/tied him to a bench. I think they hit him with a wooden paddle (the kid was naked). Did some other stuff, but somehow they ended up sodomizing him with a broom handle (might've been something else).

The kid didn't tell anyone about it but quit the team, which caused his parents to wonder what was going on. He ended up telling them, and they told the school, which didn't do much, so they took it to the police. It became a huge issue, with most of the town being against the kid for taking it to the police. I just couldn't believe how stupid the whole thing was, and feel sorry for the kid.

And sorry, but anyone who thinks teabagging is normal behavior needs to be checked. Anybody who actually does it needs their ass kicked.

Sounds like my former high school, Rancho Bernardo in Poway.
