Sic Semper Tyrannis

Speaking of Making Asses of Themselves...

A few partiers in Milwaukee came close to starring in the next episode of Cops.

The boozy buffoonery didn’t stop there — four young men got fresh with a bronze sculpture called “Standing Woman.”

"They were standing on it, grabbing the boobs, and somebody was just taking pictures with a cell phone," said Laura Collins, 35.


That's a report from an eyewitness on the unscheduled entertainment at Clear Channel's Martinifest formal benefit for the Milwaukee Art Museum. But wait, there's more:

Vodka-sloggers got sick, passed out, and threw down junior high-style at Martinifest, a semi-formal event organized by Clear Channel Radio at the Milwaukee Art Museum that offered unlimited martinis for $30, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

"It was crazy," said attendee Kathleen Christians, 39. "People were shoving people over. People were getting sick, screaming, shouting, messing with the artwork."


One question: No one on the planning committee had second thoughts about offering all-you-can-drink martinis? This smells like Belle's doing, with some possible help from Aaron...

Well, only two works are in questionable shape after the "encounter." Word is they plan on doing Martinifest again next year. Sign me up!
