No More Sex Fruit Says Judge
A family court judge in Wellington, New Zealand, has had enough with parents giving their kids cruel and unusual names. In a ruling today, Judge Rob Murfitt made a nine-year-old girl named Talula Does the Hula a ward of the court so that her name could be changed. "The court is profoundly concerned about the very poor judgment which this child's parents have shown in choosing this name," he said. "It makes a fool of the child and sets her up with a social disability and handicap." Other names blocked include Fish and Chips, Yeah Detroit, Keenan Got Lucy, and Sex Fruit. Deemed suitable, though, were Number 16 Bus Shelter and Violence. Of course, we're just as bad here. A judge should subpoena Jason Lee for naming his kid Pilot Inspektor, Shannyn Sossamon for Audio Science, Nic Cage for Kal-el, Penn Jillette for Moxie Crimefigher, Gwyneth Paltrow for Apple, and the Zappas for starting the trend.
