AZ Gov. Jan Brewer Pardons Anti-Masturbation Mascot Arrested For Masturbating In Public

http://nationalreport.net/az-gov-jan-brewer-issues-pardon-to-paul-horner-fappy/

Phoenix, AZ — Arizona Governor Jan Brewer announced her controversial decision today that grants a full pardon to 35-year-old Phoenix resident Paul Horner, known to his thousands of followers as Fappy The Anti-Masturbation Dolphin. Horner made world news last month after his ironic arrest for public masturbation.
“I did a lot of soul searching before making this decision,” Brewer told CNN. “We all make mistakes in life. When it comes down to it, we must ask ourselves, would a person like Mr. Horner be better for society locked up behind bars or outside helping the children of this great country learn about the dangers of masturbation? I think the question answers itself.”
Horner, who was arrested last month outside Metta Yoga in Phoenix after employees notified police about a man with no pants on peering through office windows, said he is thrilled with the governor’s decision. “This makes Fappy® very happy,” Horner told reporters. “To be honest I would have been fine either way, in jail, out of jail, it doesn’t matter; my message always stays the same. The prisons in Arizona are just a hotbed of self-rape, that I had planned to fix. Maybe I’ll get a chance to do this the next time I get arrested.” Horner continued, “Thank you Jan Brewer, you are now a member of team Fappy® and we’re glad to have you!”


Fappy has touched so many...but seldom touched himself.

They seem to do a very subtle form of satire.

Quite effective, from what I've seen.
