T-Shirt Wisdom's "Certified" Person Of The Week


It was reported in the November 11th edition of the Press & Sun Bulletin (local paper here in Binghamton) that 20 year old Malik Alvin, a junior at Binghamton University and Bearcats basketball player, was charged after (as what our local newspaper words...) a "condom heist goes awry" at Wal-Mart in Vestal, NY. I love the sensationalism, slow news day I guess. Alvin is accused of taking two 36-count boxes of Trojan Magnum condoms of the shelf (as supposedly seen by security) into the restroom , emptying the contents of one box into the front of his pants and left the other there. I'm guessing because there wasn't enough room? In an attempt to leave the store while being pursued by the crack security team, he had "collided" with a 66 year old woman who was knocked down and sustained a concussion. Alvin pleaded innocent to both counts of petite larceny and third degree assault, each misdemeanors. He remains free until further court action. I find this to be what most people simply call shoplifting, but I guess in this case, size does matter. But rest assured, whatever the outcome may be, we all know in the end he'll be getting laid a lot more.
