Woman spanked for dissing ex in Facebook snapshot

A Spanish divorcée's purse is somewhat lighter after she posted photos on Facebook of herself wearing a t-shirt declaring "My ex-husband's an arsehole" - and was ordered to pay €1,000 damages for her trouble. According to local news reports, the 40-year-old slapped up the snaps in 2010. In December of that year, her former other …

What's the Spanish for "my ex husband is a self regarding prick"?

Now really

Assholism is like anything, including evil or good or redneck. We all do it to varying degrees; it's the frequency and depth of these things, combined, which create a personality (or lack thereof). So speaking for myself, the stupid **** was probably right.

How convenient, you fight like a cow!

Hmm. I wonder why he was looking through her pictures 5 years after they divorced: whether he intended to find something like that, or for some other reason and he chanced upon the opportunity to cause trouble.

Either way, the t-shirt sounds generic enough that this guy should have been laughed at as soon as he opened his mouth to someone to suggest taking it legal...

Wheres the spanking?

I had imagined a *far* more interesting story....

To all those who think it's the T-shirt that's the problem...

... it wasn't.

The problem was posting the photo online where the general public can see it.

Facebook: about as private as a beach in Hawaii during the summer.

As opposed to wearing the T-shirt where the general public can see it?

quote Sean Timarco Baggaley: "The problem was posting the photo online where the general public can see it."

really? she was wearing the t-shirt in public where the general public could see it, too... face it, the ex proved that the description was accurate...

Bloody foreigners! Wouldn't happen in my day!

Absolutly ourtraged.....

When I read spanked....damn it....I expect pictures.

People have been demanding that bloggers be treated like journalists and given the same protections....

This is the result. If the New York Times or The Sun had called this guy an asshole... they'd have been reamed too.

She got off bloody lightly

If she was a man she'd have been hammered for ten times that amount.

That's funny because I thought "gilipollas" was Spanish for drivers.

Oh, and one of my friends said that he thought "Salida" was Spanish for "bar" because whenever he followed the signs marked "Salida" from the underground, it led to a bar...

Thanks, that fixed it - didn't know you could do that.

But...

Surely he would have to prove in court that he was not in fact an asshole which given the circumstances would appear to be as tricky as pushing rope uphill.

In the interests of fairness it is of course possible that Senora Gilipollas is actually a complete copper bottomed, bunny boiling, prize bitch, that the T-Shirt was just one shot in a continuing campaign of abuse against the long suffering Senor Gilipollas, and that the judgement reflects this in a "last straw which broke the camels back" kind of way.

Lets face it, it generally requires at least two people willing to make a complete gillipolas of themselves[1] to bring thing something like this to a court case...

[1] More if you include the lawyers...

There are some unknowns here. The woman put the pictures up in 2010, 5 years after the divorce. They may have been taken soon after the divorce and only posted recently for some reason.

However, as it states that the t-shirt was purchased by the current boyfriend bought the t-shirt in 2009, they can only have been posted a minimum of 4 years after the divorce.

I have to ask, why she (and the boyfriend) felt it necessary to post these pictures on a public website, 4 years after the divorce? It sounds like she has moved on and found a new partner. Why he feels the need to highlight the fact that the ex-husband is an arsehole, is beyond me.

Perhaps the new boyfriend is getting his jollies provoking the ex-husband for some reason, or perhaps the ex-wife hasn't finished tormenting the ex-husband yet even though she's in a relationship with another man.

Not sure why the ex-husband is getting a hard time on this forum.

Or possibly

the pics were of an event in their lives and the T-shirt was incidental.

Think of the children!

Many of my best friends are trainee proctologists and all these derogatory references to assholes are shattering their already fragile confidence. The result could be a dangerous shortage of proctologists in a few years time, perhaps to be followed by a devastating world pandemic of piles. If that faux enough for ya
