Brittney Schneider, 22, was in Chiang Mai last Thursday when she said she and some others got "ridiculously drunk." They started to walk back to their hostel, but came across a bottle of spray paint and picked it up… Could do 10 years in a Thai jail… |

Are they trying to steal our fame? Dan |

She has an excuse as she was under the influence of a "Scouse" 23 old Lee Furlong, her boyfriend. |

I hope they let her off with a fine, I really do, but she did break three essential life rules: Don't get so drunk you do stupid things
Behave yourself in foreign countries
Don't have a stupid boyfriend I know it's just my worldview but I feel like when you do these things you are just rolling the dice – anything could happen, and the consequences can be huge. I behaved so carefully in Thailand the Thais made fun of me for following their customs more carefully than they did. |

On the other hand, even at that age, it would NEVER have occurred to me to deliberately pick up a can of spray paint and deface something. And though I'm not a drinker, I'm positive I wouldn't have done it even when drunk. (Punch somebody, maybe, but vandalism, nope.) So one suspects that some needed upbringing never happened. Vandalism is a sign of stupidity and low character, drunk or not. |

"Vandalism is a sign of stupidity and low character, drunk or not." I concur. Someone in Toronto was clocked by a train a few years back while leaving his "tag" under a bridge. Some people made a fuss but to me that just proves that sometimes there is justice in the World. |

She got 2 year sentence, then judge showed leniency and reduced it to a 100,000 baht fine (about $3,000 USD ). link |
