King David would not be amused: We have absolutely no idea if King David would appreciate people drinking from his loins, but that is exactly what two corporate crooks had going on at a $2.1 million birthday party. More specifically, party-goers drank vodka that flowed from the nether-regions of an ice sculpture based on Michelangelo's "David," which was itself based on the biblical David. The party in question was a birthday party for the wife of Dennis Koslowski, who is being charged with bilking $600 million from Tyco International.
But we have more interesting questions than financial figures. Was the vodka watered down by the melting ice? Who wants to drink watery vodka, much less watery vodka that has just flowed from... there. Would such an exercise be considered tzniut? Might King David be offended at his edible mockery? Might he be more offended at his juxtaposition with a giant cake, topped with a pair of exploding breasts? Why would one want breasts to explode?
"Defense lawyers are concerned that video footage of the party could prejudice the jury against their clients." No kidding.
