YouTube Comedian Gets Two Months In Prison After Appearing To Sing Dirty Sex Song To Kids...

21-year-old Evan Emory of Michigan has been sentenced to two months jail time after filming and posting a video featuring him singing a sexually explicit song to elementary school students. The only thing is, Emory never did that. He actually sang an appropriate (and apparently well-received) song to the kids and edited in the other song (which the kids never heard) later for a comedy video.

While in court, Emory's attorney, Terry Nolan, called the sentence "fitting." Is it? It's certainly more fitting than the original charge of child pornography which would have landed Emory in prison for up to 20 years and gotten his name on the sex offender registry. But, is any sentence kind of like sending Anthony Perkins to jail for killing Janet Leigh in the shower? Neither are something that actually happened.

Like the schoolteacher in the earlier story, Emory messed up big time. Using deceptive editing tricks to make it appear like kids are witness to things they actually aren't (dubbing in different dialogue, trick camera angles) is something movies and TV shows do every single day. However, in Hollywood, the parents are well aware of both the dummy content and the final product. Emory has stated that he understands this. But is this moronic blunder worthy of jail time?
