Jumping bail for Jerry

If you're under house arrest and you decide to skip out, you should probably have a better reason for doing so than this douchebag.

A judge imposed $50,000 cash bond Friday for a man accused of cutting off his electronic monitoring bracelet to ride by limousine to Chicago and be on "The Jerry Springer Show." Defense lawyer Margaret Johnson argued against the high bond, noting that Mario Sims, 21, of Racine, is already being held on $20,000 cash bond on a bail jumping charge.

She said a second bond was unnecessary, but Racine County Circuit Judge Emily Mueller disagreed.

"A significant bond is legally necessary given the fact he absconded, admittedly for one of the more unique reasons I've heard in my time on the bench," the judge said before Sims was taken to Racine County Jail.

I'm gonna have to agree with the judge on that one. If the $20,000 bond wasn't enough inducement for him to stay put, he might just need some more incentives.

The dude should've been in jail, anyway, if you ask me. Check this out:

Sims had been freed on a signature bond of $50,000 after repeated delays of his trial on charges filed in 2004 of child enticement and first-degree sexual assault of a child.

Charming, no? And check out the topic of the show he was on:

A TV.com Web site teaser for it said: "Outrageous nuptials! Returning guest Mario is a proud father and is ready to marry his baby's mother - who's also his half-sister ...."

Like I said, charming. I wonder if the incest baby is the one he sexually abused.

The big news I got from this story, though, was that Jerry Springer still has a show. Who knew?
