I was JUST about to post something that would have been almost exactly like this.  You win.

So father and son got arrested. Aww.

/only sarcastic in the sense that you just don't see that everyday

So father and son got arrested. Aww.

It's actually some fairly serious business going on there, I'd be a little slower to poke fun.

I know...hence the slashie below that statement. I was aware of Clooney the younger's arrest, wasn't aware of Clooney the elder's presence.

I'm not poking fun, I'm just remarking about how not so often you hear of things like that. At least not when celebrities are involved, of course.

The whole point of the exercise was to draw attention to the cause, so in that sense, getting arrested was probably a good thing, and possibly even the whole idea.  "George Clooney loiters outside a building with his dad" isn't a story.  I doubt getting arrested is going to do anything to George's bankability, and I'm guessing he could afford bail.

Well put.
