You Might Be a Sex Offender If?

[PostWhore]

One of the prevailing myths in society is that everyone on registries are all violent rapists or pedophiles.
However, landing on a sex offender registry (or even the prospect of landing on the registry) is a very real
threat. Over the years, I have collected some very outlandish cases which have either landed someone on
the registry or have at least made them potentially subject to placement on the registry. Some are sad,
some are ludicrous, others leave you questioning the laws. However, it is important to keep in mind how
easily one can be caught up in the registries. Think about that next time you look at a sex offender
registry.

Thus, in the tradition of another popular comedy skit, I present to you the following cases as ?You might
be a sex offender if?:? [Laugh Track NOT Included]
