Historical Penictures, LLC being liquidated following lawsuit

By CARLTON SHEETS

Johan Carpas of Tallahassee Florida was arrested today after the police received several complaints from women who had purchased custom holiday cards from his website, HistoricalPenictures.com.  The website allows users to choose from a variety of historical figures and have them inserted into family photos for use on greeting cards.  Some people chose to have photos of their family in front of a decorated tree standing next to Abraham Lincoln.  Another favourite was in front of a hearty fire with Donald Trump.

According to court documents, the complaints arose when one customer noticed that the historical figure looked a bit too much like a penis.  When the police raided Mr. Carpas’ home, they found him in front of a sewing machine making a tiny costume for Mick Jagger.  Hundreds of costumes were found in the home.  After finishing a costume, Mr. Carpas would fit it onto his penis and use makeup to create the likeness of the figure’s face.  He would then take several photos of his ‘work of art’ for  later use on greeting cards.

As part of the liquidation of Historical Penictures, the costumes will be sold off on eBay. Mr. Carpas will appear in the US Courthouse in Tallahassee this Friday at 10am.
