The Left-Cheek Ass Clown for February, 2016

Well, Dear Readers, we have reached the time to announce

The Left-Cheek Ass Clown for February, 2016



It's difficult to turn away from the enormous numbers of worthy Ass Clowns running for President and making utter fools of themselves in Congress, but occasionally we need to share the spotlight and shower dishonor on deserving ass clowns from other walks of life, and even other countries. And so it is that we name as the Left-Cheek Ass Clown for February, 2016

Martin Peter Trenneborg



Trenneborg, a 38 year-old resident of Kristianstad, Sweden, was in search of a girlfriend and, eschewing other approaches to resolving the problem, sedated a young woman with strawberries laced with the date-rape drug Rohypnol, kidnapped her, and held her captive for six days in an underground concrete bunker at his home. When he learned from news broadcasts that police were searching for the woman, Trenneborg took her to the local police station so she could let the officers know that the two of them were "a couple." The police, sensing something a bit odd, interviewed the woman in private*, after which Trenneborg was taken into custody as a guest of the state.

This week, Trenneborg was sentenced to ten years in prison for kidnapping and false imprisonment, although he was acquitted on a charge of rape because of "insufficient evidence."

For his illegal, immoral, and ultimately stupid approach to finding a girlfriend, Martin Peter Trenneborg is named our Left-Cheek Ass Clown for February, 2016. One wonders if he will end up being someone else's unwilling girlfriend during his prison term.

Have a good day, and come back tomorrow for Cartoon Saturday. More thoughts then.
