Lingerie prank leads to arrest Tinuola Awopetu - www.courttv.com Shawn Madsen and Stephen Ballasch need new buddies. The two Colorado men blame their friends for a prank that got them arrested at a Scottsbluff, Neb., Wal-Mart on July 27. Madsen, 36, and Ballasch, 35, say two friends triple-dog dared them into walking around the store clad only in women's thong underwear. "Apparently, you don't turn down a triple-dog dare," Scottsbluff Police spokesperson Lt. Ken Weber said. With their friends waiting in the car, Madsen and Ballasch allegedly walked into Wal-Mart, purchased two pairs of thong underwear from the women's lingerie section and went into a restroom. They emerged from the restroom wearing nothing but the skimpy underwear. They made it as far as the shoe section before modesty set in. Stares from horrified shoppers prompted the men to return to the restroom for a wardrobe adjustment, Weber said. They reappeared minutes later wearing t-shirts tucked into their thongs and exited the store. Madsen and Ballasch had already changed into their own outfits by the time police caught up with them in the store's parking lot. But police got a recap of their bizarre fashion show courtesy of the store's security video. The pair admitted to police they came to Wal-Mart specifically to carry out the dare. They were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct. They both posted $100 bond. Prosecutors later dismissed the charges. Me, personally? I didn't know you couldn't turn down a triple-dog dare either. Idiots. IMHO, I think taht this country has lost a powerful inducement for people to act like human beings. If people put this on the news as a 'let's laugh at assholes' moment, every night of the week, giving their names, and possibly their addresses, I think people would straighten up and fly right a lot quicker, knowing that if they did stupid shit and it got caught on camera, EVERYONE would see it. Oh wait. We have that. It's called 'Real TV' and 'America's Funniest Home Videos'. Oh well. It was a thought. Oh, and for the inquiring minds who just had to know, no, I have never played Frank in Rocky. I'm not that leggy OR that cute. Me, I was a drag-Magenta, and a darned cute one at that! Nothing epitomizes the surly queen that is the Captain on a bad hair day, than Magenta. End of story. The Captain
