"A man in Scotland has been handed a three-month jail term for singing &amp;#039;Spiderpig&amp;#039; from The Simpsons Movie, reports the BBC. David Mullen, 22, from Blairgowrie, sang the tune at police officers and called one &amp;quot;ginger&amp;quot; while sitting in the back of a police van. Mullen claimed that he burst into a rendition of the song, which Homer sings to the theme of &amp;#039;Spider-Man&amp;#039; while walking his pig across the ceiling, because it was his mobile ringtone. His solicitor Paul Ralph said: &amp;quot;He started the song and that was the origin of the joke, but things went further. He felt he had not done anything to be apprehended for.&amp;quot; Mullen, who has abused alcohol since the age of 12, was later given a further eight-month prison sentence for assaulting a police officer and breaching bail curfew. Perth Sheriff Court&amp;#039;s Robert McCreadie said: &amp;quot;It is tragic that you have taken alcohol for almost half of your life. You have a dreadful record for a man of 22. &amp;quot;It is now your decision if you want to continue down the tragic and appalling road you have chosen for yourself.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
