Oh Wesley, you is in soooooo much trouble!

So apparently Wesley Snipes was found guilty of not paying taxes for the last five years, and was sentenced to three years in prison.  This should be the end of the story until he comes out with a book in year four about how he found Jesus or something in prison–don’t you love how these people go to prison “find Jesus”?  What, was he behind the couch?

Yes, I know it’s an old joke–you can put down the torches and pitchforks.

Anyway, about the only reason that Senor Snipes isn’t currently getting acquainted with his future hubby–a four hundred pound Filipino named Big Lupe–is that his lawyers are appealing.  And no, they’re not six-foot Swedish swimsuit models–they’re just appealing the case.  The judge in the case seems to have no trouble with this, calling Snipes “no substantial risk of flight”.  Meanwhile, the prosecutors are just ever so pissed, saying: “We want him in custody. He’s been convicted by a jury. He has been sentenced to three years and he should be in custody.”

As much as I hate the thought of jail in general–I think that for most people it’s a huge and life-altering waste of time and money–I think the prosecutors have a point on that one.  He’s been convicted, he’s been sentenced, anyone else would be staring at a cell door right now.  Why is he still out on bail?

But that’s a rhetorical question and I know it.  So to enjoy his work before he gets locked up for good this time, try the Blade trivia on Kwanzoo.
