    Couple arrested for selling golden tickets to heaven

    Posted: 04/02/2015, 07:00pm | Marty Arneberg


    From Willy Wonka to Michael Scott, the sale of golden tickets is a marketing scheme that backfires far too often. One Jacksonville couple has learned that the hard way.




    A Jacksonville couple has been arrested for selling what they claimed to be golden tickets to get into heaven as barstoolsports.com reports:
    o and Amanda Watts were arrested over the weekend for selling “golden tickets to heaven” to hundreds of people. The couple, who sold the tickets on the street for $99.99 per ticket, told buyers the tickets were made from solid gold and each ticket reserved the buyer a spot in heaven — simply present the ticket at the pearly gates and you’re in.
    Jacksonville police stated it is not illegal to sell golden tickets to heaven, but what the couple claimed where gold turned out to be pieces of wood spray painted gold. The couple was selling their product under false pretenses, which prompted their arrest.
    o Watts had this to say about the arrest, from stuppid.com:
    I don’t care what the police say. The tickets are solid gold… it ain’t cut up two by fours I spray painted gold. And it was Jesus who give them to me behind the KFC and said to sell them so I could get me some money to go to outer space. I met an alien named Stevie who said if I got the cash together he’d take me and my wife on his flying saucer to his planet that’s made entirely of crack cocaine.
    When the couple was arrested they were found carrying thousands of dollars in cash as well as drug paraphernalia.

    They should get a agent. Have a book written about their life and then make a
    movie about it. That's where the real gold is at!

    I was just being polite and showing you the part of the article you apparantly read over.
    Gave you the benefit of the doubt that for a moment you were not being your little cuunt self.

    Never said a word about believing it or not.
