...And From The Department Of "Hideous, Reeking Irony,"

...comes the tale of prominent Tampa civil rights attorney and candidate for the Florida House of Representatives, William Hope Dawson.



See, Mr. Dawson doesn't like cameras, despite the fact that he's a politician, because he kn0ws that when they're recording you arguing with a police officer, they're politically risky, at best.



So when the film crew recording a short film about intolerance and racism set up outside Mr. Dawson's office and began filming, Mr. Dawson didn't like it. He began to yell at them to leave, then got into an argument with the police officer they'd hired to provide security to the crew, and ended up in jail for disorderly conduct - after assaulting the cameraman.



Way to go, Mr. Dawson! You win this week's Ironic Cup, picking up from Jacques Cousteau's son's win last week after getting bitten by a shark while filming a documentary about how sharks aren't violent.
