Women Charged With Gluing Man's Penis: 'We're Victims'

'I thought he loved me,' says one

(Newser) – The Wisconsin women charged with false imprisonment after tying a man up and super-gluing his penis to his stomach aren’t especially repentant. “If anybody is a victim in this it’s all the women that he’s dated,” Michelle Belliveau told the Today show. “They gave their heart to him, and he broke their hearts.” Belliveau says she wasn’t romantically involved with the man, and played little role in the assault.

Wendy Sewell similarly professes near-innocence. “I stood there for a whole five minutes and only said a couple sentences to him,” she says, “asking him I thought he loved me, thought we were going to grow old together. I’m pretty ashamed, embarrassed. I feel I have been the one who was actually the victim.” The aggrieved man is currently in jail himself, thanks to his estranged wife's allegations of child abuse and domestic violence.

How about you practice your stand-up routine in front of a mirror instead of a comment section, and also keep it out of the public until it's at some level of funny.

A psychologist would probably say that for the sake of the victim’s wellbeing that all the female’s involved would need to kiss and personally apologize to the penis (AKA cock). As a private citizen, I do feel that an apology is in order.

I'm a tad pissy on this subject, fisk. We all have our hot buttons and this is one o'mine. It is not a requirement that you enjoy my humor for me to enjoy being pissy.
