Asshole of the Day: Clarence Stowers
***Traffic has picked up on this site considerably because of 'net searches for Mr. Stowers. Please poke around, leave a comment, whatever. We're just glad you are here***
So, what did this person do to earn my award for Asshole of the Day? Well, he found a finger in his frozen custard, and refused to give it back to 23-year-old Brandon Fizer to get reattached.
Apparently the accident happened a 1/2 hour earlier, and at that point the digit probably could have been reattached. Instead, AOTD took it home and put it in the freezer -- effectively killing the cells in the finger, making it impossible to reattach. He then pulled it out when various TV crews or reporters came to his house to interview him. Classy!
Stowers excuse for not forking over the finger? he wanted it to be tested, because he was concerned about disease. Which is insane. Tests could have been done on the rest of the Fizer to check for anything. Essentially this story is bullshit, and he's effectively caring more about his chance at a lawsuit, 15-minutes, and some dollars than the rest of someone's life without the end of a finger.
So, Stowers, we salute you. For your greed and total disregard of other people and their well-being, we here name you as the Asshole of the Day.
One more look at that finger, please...
