Tommy Chong's life going up in smoke
Half of the 70s comedy duo Cheech and Chong -- who made a joke out of the marijuana sub-culture -- is spending his 66th birthday languishing in prison for selling smoking paraphernalia in his shop "Chong's Bongs". If he had named the shop "Chong's Water Pipes", he would probably still be free.
His legion of fans have set up a web site to try to liberate their hero:
"In a free society, a man should be free to do as he chooses so long as he harms no-one. It is our firm belief that Mr. Chong has harmed no-one, and is being unfairly targeted for prosecution because of his celebrity status. In short, 'this sucks', and we won't stand for it. Join the movement to stop this travesty of justice! If you won't stand up for Tommy Chong, who will stand up for you when you're being unfairly imprisoned?"
