Shirtless Man Fined $25
An man who was cited in June for not wearing a shirt has been ordered to pay a $25 fine and court fees. A related charge of failing to obey a lawful order has been dropped.
Sean Cephus, 18, was arrested June 4 when an officer spotted him going topless on South Street. A 1974 ordinance requires both women and men to wear a top while on public property. The arrest drew the attention of a San Diego-based national campaign called GoTopless.org. Member Nadine Gary called the Easton law "backwards."
Police acknowledge the ordinance is very rarely enforced but say it is sometimes used as a means of stopping repeat offenders.
Cephus pleaded guilty to an unrelated assault charge last month and is serving an 18-month sentence. An man who was cited in June for not wearing a shirt has been ordered to pay a $25 fine and court fees. A related charge of failing to... more -

Phil Jackson's Brokeback Mountain
Good lord Phil. No need.

The 2005 film, which won three Oscars, depicts two cowboys who conceal their homosexual affair.
"The remarks are in poor taste, and the Lakers have assured us such remarks will not occur in the future," league spokesman Brian McIntyre said. Good lord Phil. No need. ... more
