Florida has reached a new low in Florida-ness: a 33-year-old man attacked his boyfriend with a plate because he wouldn’t stop listening to Alanis Morrisette. Todd Fletcher hit Allen Casey, 24, with his hands and with a plate, causing a gash to his face; the pair were actually seen fighting by a passerby, who alerted police. (SEE? Spying is totally OK!) When asked by police why he was hitting his lover, Fletcher blamed the Canadian songwriter and huffed, “That’s all that (expletive) listens to.” If Alanis herself could respond to this claim I think she would warble “Whooooooaaaaa that sounds like bullllllllllllllshit yeah yeah yeah!” Bad, bad Florida man: An aversion to ’90 alt-rock lady anthems is not an excuse for domestic violence.
