Karen Cunagin Sypher’s extortion trial abounded in ridiculousness and press coverage. But none of the coverage summed up that ridiculousness better than a homemade beer.

“Blackmail Ale” claimed a blue ribbon at the Kentucky State Fair, impressing the judges with its well-crafted ... message. From the Louisville Courier Journal:
“Blackmail Ale, 7 Years Old,” the label reads. “A bitter brew available only at your local Italian eatery. 0% Dignity by Volume.”
“Consuming this beverage may lead to incarceration in the United States federal prison system.”
