The conversation goes a little something like this:
me: Have you seen that some guy pinched a Channel 4 reporter's bum on a live report?
ian: Yeah, I know! But have you seen that they're trying to track him down, to fine him £80? Some public behaviour act.
me: They should! That poor woman!
ian: What? Why? It's not that bad.
me: How would you feel if that were me? I mean, she's somebody's girlfriend, or wife?
ian: Fine. My bum gets pinched all the time.
me: *sarcastic smile* No, I think it's wrong. I can't believe you think that's ok!
ian: It's totally ok. If that was me, and they tracked me down, I'd be all "here's the 80 quid man. It was worth it."
What do you think? I think it's wrong - you don't just touch people like that?

I wish they would fine every man who did that...though in the UK it would be fighting a losing battle from the start.
What? Only 80 bucks? I'll take 2 for a 150...
