Talk:Ufia
None of the news articles I've found on this story contain the judge's quote as given in the entry. Can anyone find the UFIA quote directly attributed to a judge, or was this possibly invented by someone else along the way?
Also, I came across approx 10 blog entries referencing the story, all containing the UFIA phrase, even though the article referenced does not contain the text. This suggests either a Googlebomb or a number of authors copying the article description from the same source (perhaps Fark.com or a chain email).
Here is one article I found:
Judge rejects charge vs. ex-football player from The Olympian, a newspaper in Olympia, Washington
"... a judge ruled his behavior crude, not criminal." This is the closest I could find, and it is: 1) not a direct quote, and 2) is missing the remaining key words in the quote cited in the Wikipedia entry.
"Coos County Circuit Judge Rick Barron said the behavior didn't amount to sexual assault. 'We can't underestimate the ability of juvenile boys to act in a crude, sophomoric, immature and even stupid manner,' Barron said."
Here's another article:
Two alleged victims in football assault testify to hurt, embarrassment by the Associated Press.
Here's one more, this one containing a longer quote from the Judge's ruling:
Student acquitted of assault charges by Winston Ross, The Register-Guard.
"But Coos County Circuit Judge Rick Barron said the behavior didn't amount to a sexual assault. 'We can't underestimate the ability of juvenile boys to act in a crude, sophomoric, immature and even stupid manner,' Barron said. 'There's a difference between that and committing a crime.'"

- Since I haven't found (or heard here) of an etymology supporting the article's, I rewrote the article giving Fark.com as the source of Judge's alleged quote. I suspect this article belongs in the Wiktionary, and have no problem if anyone agrees and moves it there. --Zippy 02:27, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
