The first week of May was not too good of a week for myself or for today’s Shrine inductee. We both had a run-in with the law that week. For me it was May 1st, time was running out on entering the MissButtaface contest in Vegas and I had someone in mind. I remember Robin saying on the air earlier that week, "Go up and ask that girl if she would like to enter the contest, chances are she knows she is a buttaface. What’s the worst that can happen?" With Robin’s words fresh in my mind and also Howard’s who commented that day that after looking at the entries so far, in his opinion, the quintessential missbuttaface was still out there, I approached the 22 year old girl hospital worker with a deformed face from birth and asked if she would like to enter the contest. She politely heard me out then pleasantly told me she was very interested but had to think about it and took my phone number down. (I offered to help her enter if she needed help). The next day I received a call from her grandmother who told me that her granddaughter was very interested. She gave me directions to their house and asked me to stop over the next day, around noon. When I got there to take the pics and help the young lady enter, anxious to do my good Stern deed of the day, I was confronted by the grandmother and three other people who all berated me , calling me a fucking pervert, calling Howard a fucking pervert, then blocked me from leaving their porch, called the police and told them I was trespassing.. Criminal trespassing was the case that they gave me. I decided to take it to court. I didn’t want to plead guilty since I wasn’t. After two delays I finally got my day in court and sure enough not only did the grandmother lie under oath telling the judge that she told me to leave 9 times in the 5 minutes I was there, the officer of the law, sworn to serve and protect sat quietly while she also told the judge that the people who stopped me from leaving weren’t even there. Can you imagine? Didn’t anyone bother to read the police report? All the lady judge had to hear was Howard Stern and this case was over...guilty as charged. She did give the lightest fine possible of $50 but with court fees and attorney fees (waste of money) I was out $445 simply trying to help the show and possible change the life of a young lady who was dealt a bad hand or bad face as it were. The funniest thing is the chick didn’t even live there. I bet she didn’t even know this all went down. Grandmother is a crafty old bitch. I don’t have a pic of the girl but picture the bod of Pamela Anderson with a face very similar to this pic I found on the web.

Now tell me... Wouldn’t a chick that looked like this have been awesome for that show? The quintessential MissButtaface.

Recently I was hanging out at the new Howard Stern Bulletin Board, the only great place left on the web to talk about Howard and the show, besides my place of course, when I spotted a few messages by today’s featured shrine inductee and recent Stern show guest, Johnny McCarthy. Johnny was directing people to his website, www.freejohnny.com and telling HIS story from that week. It was May 4th for Johnny, the day he was also charged with criminal trespassing along with interfering in a public sporting event. His was to be the very first case of the new Calvin Klein Law. Johnny claims he fell on to the Shea stadium field and despite witnesses supporting his story Johnny was found guilty and sentenced to serve 8 straight weekends in the big house. Damn….I had to hear more. I posted and asked Johnny if he would be interested in sending me an autograph for the shrine and doing an interview for The Planet. He was more than happy to oblige. Thank you Johnny. Johnny first sent me his story and we conducted the interview a few days later.

Johnny’s story:

Johnny: I have never been to prison just to jail a few times and just for a few days. I am only concerned that the people in jail won’t listen.

Doc: Looking back at the experience, what regrets do you have? What would you have changed?

Johnny: It wasn’t planned so I can’t change it. If I could I would not promote anyone but myself because it almost cost me a year in jail.

Doc: Do you still claim your innocence?

Johnny: I was stupid for pulling out my sign. I was holding it up all game. It wasn’t an intentional act and the punishment does not fit the crime.
