Dane Cook’s eviction trial over dog poop is underway

[mrs.v]

Comedian Dane Cook’s landlord is trying to evict him for basically never cleaning up his miniature pinscher’s poop from the common areas of his West Hollywood apartment complex. Both Cook and his girlfriend have been warned multiple times and put on notice by their neighbors and the landlord, who was forced to start eviction proceedings when they continually refused to pick up their dog’s nasty presents. There are even “no dog poop” signs right on the yard where Cook was letting his dog defecate without apparently picking up a single pile. The case has now gone to trial, where it will be decided by jury.
Cook’s lawyer questioned potential jurors ahead of the trial, trying to weed out people who have the crazy idea that it’s grosser to step in dog poop than some minty gum:

Cook’s landlord has gone to court, trying to get the “comedian” evicted because his dog habitually craps in the public areas of the apartment building. Dane’s lawyer is asking prospective jurors a number of revealing questions, including:
- What’s worse. Stepping in gum or stepping in dog poop?
- If you live next to a park and saw dog poop, would you avoid that park?
- Would you confront someone about spitting out gum on the sidewalk or not picking up dog poop in a public place?
- Would you confront a neighbor about picking up after their dog?

That is exactly what I wanted to write!

Here's what I don't understand - it is pretty ez to get dog owners to clean up after their pet .... I lived in a small apt. building where a guy refused to clean up after his dog so we all started picking it up for him and placing it on his doormat. After three or four weeks of finding dog poop on his doormat, he got the message and started picking it up himself.

Well, great minds, dear!

What an ass. I hate people that don't pick up after their freaking animals.

His eviction trial is over his "comedy"?

Oh, not THAT kind of dog poop.

[HelpMeRhonda]

He must think HE is too good to pick up his own dog's crap..he's sadly mistaken.

Asshole. I hate that shit, people who think it's somehow okay to leave SHIT on someone's lawn. I always hope the person who left it somehow steps in it.

I like the idea of picking it up and leaving it on the offender's door step to make a point. But I live in a neighborhood with so many dogs that it's hard to catch who it is leaving poop. There's poop all over the place and it's so rude!

^here's another idea - try to find out what the laws are in your area ... sometimes not picking up after your pet can carry a hefty fine.

Then tell the cops if they want to make their quota ez, just hang around your neighborhood and write tickets all day.

does he even wipe his own butt after gone poops.

Gum smells very different from poop.. and it doesn't leave a pile.

I'm so glad to see Dane Cook is disliked as much by others as he is by me.

I agree with all of you; not picking up your dog's shit is just rude and arrogant. This behavior isn't really surprising from him.

When he walks, he looks like he is perpetually holding in a shit. It's very noticeable in Viscious Circle, and the only funny thing about his "act". And I don't think he's trying to be funny with his shit-dance walk.
