Heinous crime against fashion anyway, and that’s disregarding the harassment. The headline says it all: > [@](#): > > No Jail Time For Man Arrested In Captain America Costume > BERVARD COUNTY, Fla. – The Brevard County doctor who was arrested for groping a woman while dressed as Captain America with a burrito in his pants will not go to jail. [WFTV](http://www.wftv.com/news/13657347/detail.html). Posted: 6:12 pm EDT July 10, 2007 (N.B. The county name is spelled two different ways in the same paragraph - how about some better attention to detail, WFTV!) I say lock him and his Mexican food up until he learns to be more courteous towards the gentler sex! ---

Dude, she did ask “Is that a burrito in your pants or are you just happy to see me?” His grope was just saying, “Why can’t it be both?” ---

You could parse that sentence so many different ways. Was the woman dressed as Captain America? What does “Captain America with a burrito in his pants” look like, and where can you get that costume? I know this wasn’t in the city, but a bit of “CSI: Miami” seems appropriate. “They’re transferring the case of the doctor with the burrito in his pants away from us, over to Sex Crimes.” “Looks like this case is…” (lowers sunglasses) “…nacho problem anymore.” _YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH_ ---

I just realized that if you go through the slideshow, the picture captions give more details. As in, when police arrived, there were several people dressed as Captain America in the bar, and the woman had to pick out the groping Captain America from a line-up. The police found the burrito in his boot. Seeing as how this was part of pub crawl, I wonder if perhaps the suspect was inebriated, in which case let this thread serve as a renewed warning of the EVILS OF ALCOHOL!!! ---

Why lock him up? No jail can hold Captain America!
