Once An Idiot, Always….

This man’s name is David Jonathan Winkelman and he’s a weapons grade moron.

He’s just been arrested in Davenport, Iowa, for failing to appear in court over a misdemeanor charge for operating a motor vehicle without the owner’s consent. So far, so so-what. Except you’ve seem the punchline in the picture.

His publicly available mugshot reveals to the world (via The Smoking Gun) that he’s the idiot who in late 2000 tattooed a tribute to a local radio station on his forehead. A disc jockey promised to give the first listener a six-figure sum if he or she showed up at the radio station with a permanent tattoo of the station’s call letters and logo on his forehead. From Gawker:

Of course, when the men came calling for the cash, station brass explained that the offer was a practical joke, just a wacky radio stunt. Winkelman and his relative sued, claiming that the station sought to have listeners permanently marked so that they “could be publicly scorned and ridiculed for their greed and lack of common good sense.”

Within months of the lawsuit’s filing, Winkelman dismissed his complaint against the DJ and Cumulus Broadcasting, KORB’s owner. Goddard’s case was later dismissed by a judge when he failed to appear for court proceedings.

Bottom line is that whatever is wrong with your day…you’re not this bloke.
