 How far would you go for your favorite video game character? This kid
went all the way to court.11-year-old Judson King was such a Sonic the Hedgehog fan that he decided he wanted the real thing - only to find out that hedgehogs were illegal in his city of Lawrence, in Kansas. What's a boy to do but convince the court that hedgehogs are fudgy-wudgy creatures and not a danger to civilization as we know it? After three years of work, he finally built up his case enough that when he finally got his day in court, it was "no contest." The court found no real reason to maintain the ban, and the woodland critter was legalized. Judson finally got his first hedgehog last Christmas. Now let's hope he won't paint his new pet blue and throw it through rings. Related Articles: |

I thought it was a nice article, better than that crap the media puts on front pages about people dying and being raped and trying to instill fear into people's lives. But haha, the last sentence made me laugh hard

You can't just stop at Sonic, I'll bet for the next bunch of christmas' and birthdays this kid gets Tails (the Fox with 2 tails) Shadow (A Reeeeally mean hedgehog) knuckles, (an angry hedgehog), Amy (look out sonic, she aint nutered[If thats how you spell it :D]) And also those other guys and that weird crocodile. Now let's just hope this is sonic from an earlier game, and not the Dark Chronicles one Lol.

The kid is just gonna end up killing a hedgehog or 4 when he decides to dip them in blue, red, black, and or silver paint. He might even be be using it as a baseball. Hell, he might even have two foxes, one with the tail cut off.

» Hedgehog as a pet
I don't know much about Hedgehog but aren't they supposed to be unsuitable as a pet?
