A Delaware man who was found guilty of indecent exposure was sentenced to wear a t-shirt with the words, "I am a registered sex offender" in bold letters.

Area teens found the t-shirt cool, and Abercrombie and Fitch immediately began selling them, hoping to match the success of "Strip Poker Referee."

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A Delaware judge on Friday ordered a man who twice exposed himself to a 10-year-old girl at his workplace to wear this T-shirt:

It could've been worse. The judge could have made him wear his work clothes 24-7:

A judge in Delaware has ordered a man who twice exposed himself to a 10-year-old girl to wear a T-shirt with the words, “I am a registered sex offender.” I just hope Urban Outfitters has his size.

Delaware police are searching for a man who damaged a toilet after setting off fireworks in an Arby's bathroom.

In his defense, I once did the same thing in the restroom after eating at a Taco Bell. 

WILMINGTON, Delaware (AP) -- A man pleaded guilty Wednesday to criminally negligent homicide for beating to death a 77-year-old man he believed had molested his young daughter.

Robert Fontanez Jr., 27, had faced the more serious charge of second-degree murder in the April death of Bismark Vasquez before agreeing to the plea. He faces up to five years in prison at sentencing, expected early next year.

According to police, Fontanez became enraged when his 5-year-old daughter told him that Vasquez had touched her inappropriately.

In an official statement after the incident, Fontanez Jr. informed the police "Only I can touch that sweet young poon."

An overjoyed first grade Delaware boy now faces 45 days in reform school for bringing in his Cub Scout combo spoon-fork-knife to proudly show his classmates at lunch time. He unknowingly broke Delaware’s “zero tolerance” school weapons law. Well, at least now we can easily locate that “Delaware Gap”; just look between their school officials’ ears!

Michael Vick bought a new condo along the Delaware River. No word yet on whether the building is pet friendly.

AS OBAMA'S STAR RISES, OTHER CANDIDATES PROMISE HE WON'T OUT-NICE THEM

WASHINGTON, D.C.  As Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill.) took the first step yesterday to launch a presidential campaign he says will restore a spirit of common purpose to American politics, other potential candidates responded by outlining plans to out-nice him by whatever means necessary.

Obama:  "If you kids don't behave, we're not going to have any more assemblies."

"Senator Barack, or Obama, or whichever part of his name is first this week, would not be a nicer president than Hillary Clinton," said Julie Sanford, assistant chief of staff to the junior senator from New York and former first lady.  "First of all, most people will spot Senator Clinton five niceness points right off the bat just for being a woman," Sanford said.  "She doesn't do all that scratching and spitting and stuff that male candidates do."

Clinton:  "Any candidate who gets in this race thinking he's going to be nicer than me had better be wearing his steel jock strap."

The other announced candidates for the Democratic nomination, Connecticut Senator Christopher Dodd, Delaware Senator Joseph Biden and millionaire trial lawyer John Edwards, have similarly filed papers to establish exploratory committees, in each case accompanied by a letter from an adult confirming that they are capable of being nice, if required by law.  Edwards' was signed by his wife.

Dodd:  "The waitress sandwich?  That was Teddy's idea."

Dodd has sought to distance himself from a past that includes acts that were not so nice, including an incident in which he and Senator Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) accosted a waitress in a Washington, D.C. restaurant from opposite sides and squeezed her between their bodies, forming a "waitress sandwich."  "My conscience is clear on that one," Dodd replied angrily to reporters outside of an International House of Pancakes in Arlington, Virginia, where he was speaking at a symposium on global economic issues. "We did not use any mayo or other condiments that contain transfats."
