    • A prison inmate in Orange County claimed the fictitious holiday Festivus, created on "Seinfeld," as part of his religion in an attempt to get better meals, and it actually worked.

    The judge, apparently not a "Seinfeld" fan, bought into his religious demands, which included double helpings of salami-free meals.

    Sheriff's Commander Dave Wilson says some people at the station eventually realized King's claim "probably wasn't legitimate."

    After about two months of kosher meals, the county got the order thrown out in court.

    I want to know where he went to law school :slappy:
     
    At some point in history, men made up every religion or at least the kernels of them, I guess. Not to say Festivus is really anything more than a sardonic anti-religion and the Judge should have known better!

    Everybody at some time in their lives gets duped. Even very intelligent prominent people. Yes, he should have known but it does happen.

    The judge should have replied; "No soup for you!"

    Maybe the judge is a fuckin' moron that shouldn't be allowed to hold a position in which he incarcerates other people. Fucking Christ.

    Google "Festivus" and two seconds should tell you it's fucking fake. It's not like he claimed some ancient sect of Christianity or some shit...it's a fucking tv show gag.

    Frankly, I find the whole concept of convicts being able to go before a court and demand exceptions in treatment based on their religious choices to be ridiculous on its face. It is called "prison" for a reason. You gave up the right to demand things when you committed a crime, got convicted, and incarcerated.

    Don't like the food? Too bad. Eat it or go to bed hungry. Hell, that's what my mom told me as a kid when I refused to even try broccoli.
