Newsreader NOT Fined for Failing to Post Dog Poo
In England, Natasha Kaplinsky is one of a string of celebrity newsreaders who earn in excess of $2 million a year. Kaplinksy, who is eight months pregnant, fell foul of the law last week when she neglected to clear up her dog's poo during an afternoon stroll in a London park.
Her celebrity (or her pregnant belly) must have rattled the mounted policemen, however, because they let her off with a lecture. Lesser mortals are fined up to $2,000 for not cleaning up after their animals. We have these small, green boxes all over the country that are designed to take dog poo; many a happy hour can be spent watching tourists posting their letters and cards home into them.
