Ohio native Josh Newell went to court and had to spend two days in jail after he was charged with jumping a fence and petting a few cougars. He also filmed it all, petting the geriatric cougars while softly saying, "Here, kitty, kitty." He also claimed, "[The cougars] wanted me to pet them. Cougars love me." But after a little space for self-examination, Newell admitted, "That was a very bad decision."

Possible Preaching Angle:

Then again, who hasn't done something equally as stupid, like sticking your life right into the cougar jaws of sin or temptation?
