NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A couple pleaded guilty Thursday to hiring a stripper for their son's 16th birthday party. Landon and Anette Pharris were sentenced to two years probation and ordered to take parenting classes. They were charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

The parents hired the stripper to perform at a September party attended by about a dozen young people.

Cassandra Joyce Park, 29, who police say used the stage name "Sassy," danced for a few hours before partygoers took up a collection and paid her $150 more to fully disrobe, Anette Pharris said.

The stripper and the man she was with were also granted probation.

4. Nashville, eh? So, if they'd hired the woman to let the kids beat the shit

out of her, I bet that would have been okay, since it's "Biblical".

Or if they'd hire the strippers for the father and his republican friends the mayor and council members, to watch while they're young boys had sex with them and the older men cranked each other off, that would be okay, since it would be "Christian".

5. What are you talking about?

You know damn well none of that would be allowed.

If you think it's OK for 16 year olds to have strippers hired for them (which is a perfectly reasonable view) back it up on its merits. Don't use B.S. hyperbole.

6. Not sure what you're upset about or what you're issue is, but what the hey

:shrug:

7. AlI I got was a vintage car

I would have got a lot more mileage out of a stripper.

This story is what makes me despair for America - what a bullshit prosecution.

Anyway, my birthday is coming up. If anyone wants to give me a present, a stripper would be nice... hint, hint.

Khash.
