Sex Offender Strikes Gold  

It's always nice to see that there are people who win state lotteries who really need them, but this story is a little twisted, and I mean that in a sarcastic way. In Alaska (where else?) a sex offender by the name of Alec Ahsoak, who has multiple convictions for sexual abuse of a minor, won $500,000.

At first I thought it was pretty weird that a sex offender would win the lottery. I pictured this man to spend thousands of dollars on lottery tickets to win, and I didn't think one could hold a good enough job after being convicted. That and just look at his picture! It doesn't look like he would be making much. But I can see the sex offender resemblance.

Anyway, I thought that this was a strange occurrence, until I looked at this short line from cnn.com: "FBI: Alaska has the highest per capita number of rape cases in the United States." So really, if you think about it, if they have such a high amount of sex offenders living in the state (poor Bristol), then really it's not that strange of an occurrence. I'm surprised I haven't heard about this occurrence before.

To wrap up, the news that keeps coming out just makes Alaska look better and better... and I mean that in the most sarcastic way possible. Once again, this shows that Alaskans have multiple talents I want nothing to do with. I mean, come on is there really NOTHING else you can do up there besides sexually harassing/assaulting people, or getting pregnant? Guess not.

Oh and one last note, all proceeds of the Alaska lottery goes to: "Standing Together Against Rape in Anchorage." Now that's what I call good irony.
