Woopee shit. I'm fairly sure that if one went into all but the skankiest, most happy-to-serve-to-10-year-olds dives today, it wouldn't be too hard to spot a camera or two. Many larger venues already have them outside, as shown by the camera in the leading photograph. I suspect that an even higher % of off licences than public houses already have them installed, and the idea that supermarkets don't already have them is ridiculous. This looks to be only a small consolidation and clarification of existing legislation.

Agreed.

I'm trying desperately not to make a she-seems-'armless-enough joke. Reckon I might just make it...

Jesus f**king Christ. These kids are going to grow up warped, isolated, and scared of rain.

Soo true.

(You didn't capitalise Jesus's middle name, Aaron.)

Reminds me of the Pete and Dud sketch where the bloke is applying for the part of Tarzan.

Bloody mentalist.

LAKE GENEVA, Wis. -- Nurses accused of photographing a patient and posting the pictures on the Internet have been fired.

The investigation started with an anonymous call from an employee at Mercy Walworth Medical Center in Lake Geneva, with the allegation that a nurse took pictures of a patient with her cell phone and posted them on her Facebook page.

Last week, the nurse told 12 News she never posted the pictures on the Internet. Investigators have since interviewed the nurse and said she offered more details.

"There were two nurses that independently took a picture each of an X-ray of a patient," Walworth County Undersheriff Kurt Picknell said.

The patient was admitted to the emergency room with an object lodged in his rectum. Police said the nurse explained she and a co-worker snapped photos when they learned it was a sex device. Police said discussion about the incident was posted on her Facebook page, but they haven't found anyone who actually saw the pictures.

The nurse removed her Facebook page from the Internet last week. Without more, Picknell said this conduct does not appear to violate any state laws. He has referred the case to the FBI.

"We've notified federal authorities of this allegation to see if there are federal violations, most notably HIPAA violations, patient rights," he said.

The hospital did not return a call seeking comment.

Ha.
I demand to know what the object was.

To be honest, if the patient's name was never mentioned or hinted towards in any way, I don't think he should be all that angry. If you will shove stupid things up your arse...

It's probably not great publicity though. I'm sure people in that sort of situation are embarrassed enough about going in without worrying that people will take photos. Besides it's a sex device, of all the things you could use that seems like one of the least stupid. :P

I thought that 'sex device' could have encompassed anything. Cucumber, gerbil.

I saw this a couple of weeks ago. What have the police got to do with it? Enforcing political correction is perhaps an easier task than chasing real criminals.
