This Is What Happens When You Tase A Stranger In The Ass

According to P4K:

According to various sources including reader emails, the Washington University student paper Student Life, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and the Riverfront Times, Girl Talk's set was cut short after a man exposed himself and got Tasered in the ass...Eyewitness reader Greg Sabo wrote in an email, "There was one 20-something (who seemed to be under the influence of something) who kept on causing problems. He threatened basically everyone around him. Attendees asked the bouncers to remove him several times, but they were basically unsuccessful. This person starting a lot of pushing bouts during the show. There were several chants by the crowd to get this one man out. He also jumped up on stage once after everyone else had gotten off."

Apparently, the bouncers finally got the word. Student Life reports that at 10:45 pm, the troublemaker was removed from the venue by security. "He then shoved a security guard and pulled down his pants." Sabo points out that "he was already topless." The Washington University Police Department was called. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the man exposed himself.

Student Life continues, "When WUPD arrived they repeatedly told the man to pull up his pants or face arrest. The student refused and an officer attempted to handcuff him. When the student struggled to resist being handcuffed, the officer pulled out his Taser and threatened to use it if the student did not comply. The man continued to resist and was Tasered." According to both Sabo and the Riverfront Times, the Taser gun was pointed at the man's rear end. The reader writes that he was Tased twice: briefly at first, then "for at least 10 seconds (maybe as long as 20)."

The man was a 22-year-old student, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports, though Washington University has not released his name.

That's pretty much it, really. I'm sure you're all shocked-shocked-that something like this went down at a Girl Talk show. To you, I say: Perhaps it's time for some wising up, young man/woman/bewilderbeast. After all, are we not all but dust in the wind? Or more accurately, ass tazings waiting to happen?

Yes, according to this article on MTV's movie blog. It would seem that the talk regarding a sequel sprang from an interview that John Turturro did with ESPN the magazine. Behold the relevant quote:

ESPN: If the Coen brothers made a baseball movie, would it be better than the bowling movie?

Turturro: The Big Lebowski was a great movie. We hope to make a sequel. I can't talk about it, but it comes down to Jesus in the jumpsuit.

If this is the case, then I believe that it's the first proper sequel the Coens have ever done. I'm holding off excitement until I hear more concrete details. At the very least, I thought I would post some of the more iconic songs used in The Big Lebowski.
