My mug shot idea is classier than Eric Deggans’ idea

St. Pete Times media critic Eric Deggans thinks his publication’s new Mug Shots site could be a money-making venture:
Perhaps it’s a measure of my jaded attitude these days, but I’m mostly wondering whether this should be a totally free site. Given the needs newspapers face for revenue, I wish we could have found a way to charge for some aspects of it — maybe by providing photo prints for people who want to immortalize their Mug Shot experience.
Nice.
But I’m wondering how he could have possibly overlooked an even classier way to exploit the incarcerated — by putting their mugs on actual mugs, courtesy the St. Petersburg Times‘ online store.
Between you and me, of course, I’m just kidding.
Really, it’s just a joke. You hope.
