"[He] has been released on bail after an anonymous donor posted a $500,000 bond." (emphasis added)

Yes, I saw that too. Pretty fucking cool.

It's cool that someone did it, but why should $500,000 and 5 months of jail time be involved when he didn't commit a crime?

If we jailed people for jokes made with poor taste, half or more of our comedians would be locked up.

Title should have quotes around "joke".
