'Butt Artist' Gets $65,000 Settlement

A Virginia schoolteacher who was fired because he makes artwork in his spare time by smearing his buttocks and genitals with paint and rubbing them against a canvas has reached a $65,000 settlement with the school district.
Stephen Murmer, who sells the paintings for up to $4,800 each, was dismissed in 2007 after school officials discovered a YouTube video of him demonstrating his technique while wearing a black thong and a Groucho Marx mask.
