Cheater's Punishment

Shame can be a powerful punishment. Just ask the guy who had to stand at the corner of Leesburg Pike and International Drive in Tysons Corner, Va., on Wednesday morning.

You know, the guy wearing the sign that said, "I CHEATED. THIS IS MY PUNISHMENT."

William Taylor, of Centreville, Va., told a passerby that he cheated on his wife -- and she found evidence of it on his cell phone. So the wife doled out a rather creative punishment: He had to stand at the intersection during morning rush, wearing the handmade sign.

Wonder if he learned his lesson.

Did his wife take away his cell phone?

Very odd. Kind of Jerry Springer / Oprah / Judge Judy - a personal, private, painful disaster becomes dirty linen aired, even flaunted in public - a media event /showbiz opportunity.

I can understand public shaming, revenge and all that. But only if you don't want the bloke back. Presumably the wife does want him back and the husband wants to return to the fold, or why would he accept public humiliation.. Yet.. if they are intending to get back together, why would either of them want public humiliation.. Just weird altogether.

Zap's comment is good.

He was already a loser for cheating on her.
She should have used the Krazy Glue approach.

I could have used that a few months ago.
