Some colors shouldn't be in the rainbow

Now Pacman Jones' attorney says that the player is being targeted by police. The lawyer claims that a police deputy had no probable cause to pull Pacman over last month in Franklin, Tenn., whereupon the player was assessed for not having proof of insurance or his registration. When the story broke on Tuesday it was also believed that Pacman was charged with swiping tags from another vehicle he owns, but it seems that was incorrect.

But as far as probable cause, how about this: Pacman was driving an orange Lamborghini. That should be a crime in itself. Painting a beautiful car like that orange? Come on now.

Pete,
I can't believe you didn't realize the reason he painted it Orange is so it would be in Cincy Bengals colors. This reflects where he really wants to play.

Orange Lamborghini? That's even worse than that #2 pencil yellow color.
If you own a $180,000 car, you probably want to stand out. Orange definitely stands out.

Plus, this ride looks sweet:

Great color and car when you don't want to attract too much attention to yourself.
Maybe working out a new nickname?

Orange has also been an historically popular color for Corvette's as well. I was wondering how long it would take someone to make the jumpsuit connection. I was not let down!!

A cop doesn't need probable cause to pull someone over. He was told by a fellow officer that he was driving without a license which is a crime, that's all he needed to pull him over. Cops often have sketches of people and descriptions of cars with them while they're on patrol so they can be on the look out for people who are known criminals, have warrants for their arrest, etc. If the cop was told Pacman didn't have a license, that's all he needed to pull him over when he spotted him.
Red and yellow and blue and green,
Purple and orange and pink,
I can sing a rainbow,
Sing a rainbow,
Sing a rainbow too!

Listen to your heart,
Listen to your heart,
And sing everything you feel,
I can sing a rainbow,
Sing a rainbow,
Sing a rainbow too
