A 29-year-old named Joshua Basso placed his obscene phone call to ... the 911 dispatch center in Tampa, Florida. Repeatedly. He made sexual comments to the dispatcher and asked if he could come by for sex.
From the Associated Press:
Tampa police said 29-year-old Joshua Basso made sexual comments to the 911 dispatcher and asked if he could come to her house. Investigators say she hung up, but he called back four more times ... he was arrested about 15 minutes later at his home late Wednesday and charged with making a false 911 call. Basso reportedly told officers that he didn't think he would get in trouble for calling 911.
Was the dispatcher that drop-dead hot?
Doesn't matter. Basso said he called 911 because ... he ran out of minutes on his cell phone, and the emergency number was the only one he could call.

Strippermobile too much for Sin City
Anything goes in Vegas, it's said. Anything that happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
Think about it. Gambling has been Vegas' calling card for nearly a century. Quickie weddings and divorces used to be a cottage industry. Prostitution, while illegal in Clark County (unlike the rest of the state) was winked at regardless. Casinos were ruled by a bunch of guys with last names ending in vowels, and now they're run by giant corporations. Jerry Tarkanian coached the local college basketball team for many years. I tell you, Vegas is a whole different world.
So, something would have to be totally outrageous to offend the citizens of Sin City.
Like hauling strippers around to advertise a club. This is from Newser:
A Las Vegas strip club has agreed to stop an advertising promotion that involved hauling bikini-clad exotic dancers around in a truck. Larry Beard, marketing director of Déjà Vu Showgirls, said today he's taking his lawyer's advice and parking the truck. "We're going to respect the opinion of the folks...
Hey, the town has a reputation to uphold.

Woman runs charade for plastic surgery
What a lot of women wouldn't do for a statuesque figure ... Trista Joy Lathern from Texas went so far as to pose as a breast cancer victim.
It worked, for a while. She raised more than $10,000 for breast cancer treatment, then spent $6,800 of it for a boob job.
Except she didn't have breast cancer. And her efforts may get her jail time for a charge of theft by deception.
Got to give Lathern credit for great acting, or at least for trying. To match her story that she was getting chemotherapy, she shaved her head.
MSNBC has the story.
