Survivor: Prison

Richard Hatch, the fat, naked, gay guy who won the first season of Survivor, reported to federal prison last week. He was sentenced to 51 months for tax evasion. He apparently "forgot" to pay taxes on his $1 million winnings and figured nobody would notice. I mean who pays attention to a fat, gay guy who walks around naked/wins $1mil on national TV? That vision of him and his blurred-out butt is still seared into my brain--even though the first season of Survivor was like 100 years ago. Ancient history. We barely had plasma TVs and TiVo back then. There's so many fat, prison and/or gay jokes I could make right now I can't even decide what one to go with. Instead, I’m going to make a simple comment about the efficiency (or lack of) of our judicial system. It took them about 5-6ish years to come up with his 4.25 year sentence. Pay your taxes people. He basically won $1,000,000 just so he could sit in jail for 4+ years. When you factor in the cost of a lawyer, paying back taxes and lost wages due to jail time, it probably cost him money to go on Survivor. [source]
