While we're talking about stupid people... 

Anyone remember the case where some idiot called McDonalds, pretending to be the police, and ordered the idiot manager and her idiot fiancee to strip-search and basically molest a teenage employee? And the idiot manager and her idiot fiancee actually did it?

(The word "idiot" really cannot be overused when discussing these folks.)

Well, two of the three cases are over (The guy who actually made the calls is scheduled to go on trial in April). Idiot fiancee is getting five years in prison. The idiot manager, in a display of mercy normally reserved for the truly contrite over the truly stupid, received a year's probation, for which she should give great thanks to the patron saint of morons as well as a forgiving victim, since she still refuses to admit she did anything wrong:
Summers entered an Alford plea to misdemeanor unlawful imprisonment, meaning she maintained her innocence while acknowledging there was enough evidence to convict her.

Despite the disposition, Summers left the courthouse in tears, saying she still holds McDonald's responsible for failing to warn employees of strip-search hoaxes at its other restaurants. She has said she never would have detained Ogborn had she known of previous hoaxes.
The whole affair calls to mind the rhetorical question Dawn and Karol always seem to be asking each other - "How do you not walk into walls?"

Or, "Why do you not walk into walls? Cause frankly, a sharp blow to the head couldn't hurt, and might help."
