Breaking News!!!!!! Of earth shattering proportions!!!!!!!
Runaway Bride Mows Lawn As Part of Service

By DANIEL YEE, Associated Press Writer
1 hour, 18 minutes ago

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - Runaway bride Jennifer Wilbanks mowed the lawn of a government building Tuesday as part of her court-ordered community service for lying to police after she ran off days before her scheduled wedding.

Wearing an orange community service vest, a ballcap that said "Life is good" and running shoes, Wilbanks seemed upbeat as she pushed a powered mower by a swarm of reporters and photographers. She briefly spoke when the mower's engine died in tall, wet grass.

"I'm doing well," said Wilbanks, who has been undergoing mental health treatment. She admitted with a laugh that it had been a long time since she had mowed a lawn.

"I need to get back to work. I don't want to get into trouble," she added.

18. They are obsessed with it because no
Democratic Congressman currently has a missing intern. Now that the Michael Jackson trial is over, this pitiful non-story is the best diversion they can find.

15. A couple of days ago, it was said she would marry the dork
I feel bad for her, she needs help and I think needs to get away from the control freak and his daddy. The interview with the 2 had him squeezing her leg as though she'd better do what's right.

:eyes:

16. Alas, alak: it's better than Bush attacking us again, as he did on 9/11...
In other words, I'd rather see Jennifer Wilbanks serve as the Bush regime's Weapon of Mass Distraction rather than a Rumsd*ck/Rove-engendered suicide bombing in a US shopping mall.

Check out my prediction on *5* July for a suicide bombing as a distraction - UK 'suicide' bombings took place on 7 July.

17. I hate this fluff reporting
Why do they gloss over the important stuff?

Did she mow back and forth in lines? Did she do a clockwise spiral starting from the the outside?

19. you need to go up and down on tall grass
But her having not mowed before, she spent more energy pulling the cord.

25. Oh yeah, another batch of cheap filler
Mrs. Demonfighter was walking away from me the other day and I called her runaway bride. She smiled and came back. :rofl:
It is entering our subconscious now.

22. Are we doomed to hear about this woman for the rest of our lives?
Are we going to hear about when she finally DOES get married, then divorced, married again & goes thru IVF to have kids, finally has kids, gets married a third time...well, I won't go on....
