Just because you’re
a Kardashian and featured in an E! reality series, it doesn’t mean you’re a
bona fide celebrity. This is especially true when you’re the younger, less
attractive sister of Kim Kardashian.
Perhaps this was the
motivation behind Khloe Kardashian’s decision to violate her 3-year-long
probation stemming from a March 2007 drunken-driving arrest. At a July 3 court
hearing, the 24-year-old daughter of O.J. Simpson’s defense attorney Robert
Kardashian admitted that she failed to complete a roadside cleanup duty and
enroll in an alcohol education class.
She was subsequently
sentenced to 30 days in jail. The resulting exposure meant that millions of
people who knew nothing about Keeping Up
with the Kardashians or her sister’s sex tape learned that Khloe existed
and was even considered famous enough by some in the media to dedicate news
coverage to her ordeal. There really is no such thing as bad publicity.
We can hardly blame
her for what she did. Along with her two older sisters, she owns and operates a
clothing boutique in Los Angeles. Can you imagine what would happen to her
fashion career if In Touch magazine
published photos of her picking up trash in an orange trash-picker suit?
While drunk driving
may not be the best way to garner public attention, some may argue it’s a bit
classier than a sex tape. Plus, despite the fact that Khloe is over six feet
tall and dwarfs her elder sister in stature, she just can’t escape the enormous
shadow cast by Kim’s famous, quasi-cartoonish ass.
According to the Los
Angeles Sheriff’s Department, Khloe was processed in the Lynwood, California
jail for women (the same facility that housed Paris Hilton after her DUI case)
at 10:36 a.m. on July 18. She was released later that afternoon at 1:29 p.m.
Now, some may scoff
at the fact that she spent less than three hours in jail, but that’s still 173
minutes more than her late father’s most famous client served for double
murder.
Even though her biological father was no longer around to work his
courtroom magic and keep Khloe out of the slammer, she still has the full
support of her family, including her stepfather Bruce Jenner. Decades before
his severe BOTOX® addiction, Jenner graced boxes of Wheaties®after winning the decathlon in the 1976 Olympics.
Since the Olympics
take place this month in Beijing, China, we thought it fitting to make Bruce
Jenner’s stepdaughter this month’s BACS honorable mention. Likewise, we also
thought it fitting to assign each of our contestants an Olympic event or sport.
It’s our sincere
hope that this month’s BACS will help you catch the spirit of the Olympics. If
not, you can always pour some in a glass. Just don’t get too close to the
Olympic flame.
Our top
ten contestants were arrested and booked for suspicion of driving while
intoxicated according to The Advocatereports from June 23 – July 20, 2008.
10. Rakhee Patel P., 33, 1st-offense DWI and failure to yield
from a private driveway.
Rakhee’s sport is boxing. Unfortunately, she’ll
have to wait four years for women’s Olympic boxing to debut at the 2012 London
Games. When it does, though, the crowds at her bouts can chant, “Rakhee!
Rakhee!!!”
9. David Spartin T., 25, 1st-offense
DWI and failure to maintain control of a vehicle.
Much like the
ancient Spartans were known for their long spears, ladies say David Spartin has
a notable “spear,” too. That’s why his event is the javelin. Of course, unlike
typical javelin throws, many women report catching one of his “tosses” is quite
pleasurable.
8. John William A., 41, 2nd-offense DWI and urinating in
public.
Not only does John like
to fire his “weapon” in front of other people, his aim is reportedly fairly
accurate. His sport is shooting.
7. Ramiro Perez I., 35, 3rd-offense DWI and resisting an
officer.
Given that Ramiro drinks like a fish, we can
only conclude that he can swim like one, too. According to many female bar
patrons, he specializes in the breaststroke. Careful, Ramiro: Try that on the
wrong girl and you might wind up in the rowing competition when she gives you a
coxless pair.
6. David Michael B., 37, 3rd-offense DWI, hit and run,
failure to maintain control of a vehicle, and reckless operation of a vehicle.
David would be an awesome
Olympic gymnast since he seems to love bars. Whether it’s parallel bars, the
horizontal bar, or a dive bar, David’s at home with any of them. Fortunately,
though, the balance beam is strictly a woman’s apparatus, because David has
trouble walking the straight line during roadside sobriety tests.
5. Danny Boy C., 38, 3rd-offense DWI, possession
of marijuana, and obstruction of a public passage.
“Oh, Danny Boy, the pipes, the
pipes are calling.” Since he gets quite high with the aid of a long cylindrical
object, his event is the pole vault.
4. Albert Delwayne G., 33, 4th-offense DWI, reckless
operation of a vehicle, failure to obey stop or yield sign, driver’s license
required, and drinking in a motor vehicle.
Albert is a hammer thrower because he gets
hammered then throws up. Now that’sprojectile vomiting.
3. Chadwick M., 33, 4th-offense DWI, improper
lane usage, flight from an officer, reckless operation of a vehicle, and driver’s
license suspended or revoked.
Chadwick’s an equestrian due to
the fact that, when drunk, he acts like a horse’s ass.
2. Jefforey Thomas B., 38, 3rd-offense DWI, disobeying a red
light, improper lane usage, reckless operation of a vehicle, possession of
Schedule I drugs, and speeding.
Jefforey would be an awesome shot-putter,
because no matter how many shots are put in front of him, he just keeps tossing
them back.
1. Darryl S., 43, 5th-offense DWI, headlights required,
improper lane usage, and open container in public violation.
As a 5-time veteran of the BACS, Darryl is
this month’s winner of the Judge Don Johnson Trophy. If he had been an Olympic
athlete instead of a drunk driver, he’d be a lock to win gold in the modern
pentathlon.
Congratulations, Darryl. You’ve won
this installment of the Blood Alcohol Championship. We’ll all be looking out
for you on the roads. To claim your trophy, simply pick up a copy of Red Shtick and cut it out. Just be
careful not to cut your finger in the process.
