ACLU Defends Butt Painter (Hillarious Video)

Stop The ACLU ^ | 13-Dec-06 | John Stephenson

According to the ACLU, and as you will see in the video, the man went to great lengths to keep his bizzare hobby in his personal life seperate from his proffesional one. Therefore I don't disagree with the ACLU on protecting his rights.I just couldn't resist posting about it because it is so strange and hillarious. (Don't watch video if easily offended by profanity that starts with an A).

WATCH VIDEO HERE...

Via Metro:

An art teacher has been suspended from his school, after footage of him painting with his buttocks on a TV show appeared on YouTube.

Stephen Murmer – who paints with his bottom, as a self-described 'butt-printing artist', under the name of Stan Murmur – was suspended for five days while authorities investigate the video.

Kent Willis, of the American Civil Liberties Union, which is representing Murmer, said: 'As a public employee, he has constitutional rights, and he certainly has the right to engage in private legal activities protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution.'

Proffesionally written. ;-)

IKf he got on TV, it doesn't look like he went far enough in separating his professional life from his personal life......fire him!

Only to the ACLU could posting on YouTube be considered 'private.'

Maybe you are right...I just thought it was hillarious.

[Fester Chugabrew]

Looks like we have the hole story.

Ping!

There are a couple of other threads running on this.

This happens to be my son's school.

I don't have a problem with his "art." I have a problem with the fact that by the end of this week, every kid in that school will have seen the video.

That and the fact that if you look at some of his other "works" he doesn't limit his painting utensils to his cheeks.

That is a problem when things come out in public. I thought it was funny (ironic) that he didn't go too far to disguise his name. Same last name? And Stan? I bet it took a whole team of detectives there.

And in the article the students were quoted. Of course they think it's stupid for him to be disciplined. It's not like high school kids know of any course of professional conduct from which to judge. But they must be the authority now because they agree with the ACLU. LOL!
