Smoot Admits to Bizarre Thong Offense
Note that this story suggests the cruise line violated its own policies:
"What kind of music entertainment can we have on the boat?
If you’re planning on booking some live music for your event, please be aware that Lake Minnetonka ordinances restrict us from hosting live amplified music on the outside decks of our fleet. However, acoustic groups such as a Dixieland band or steel drum band are acceptable. Please contact your event planner if you would like help booking live music for your event.
What is the dress attire?
Dress for the current weather conditions during your cruise time. As a general rule, we recommend casual dress attire, such as casual shorts or pants and golf shirts. "

Smoot Pleads Guilty In Sex Boat Case
(CBS) MINNEAPOLIS Minnesota Vikings cornerback Fred Smoot pleaded guilty Friday to two misdemeanor charges stemming from last October's boat party on Lake Minnetonka.
Smoot, 27, pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and being a public nuisance on a watercraft. He was sentenced to 48 hours of community service to be performed in the next 90 days and will have to pay a $2,000 fine. Smoot was also sentenced to 30 days in jail, but the jail time was stayed if he stays out of trouble.
According to court documents, Smoot admitted to being a public nuisance and admitted he "engaged in contact which may cause resentment in others."
Smoot was originally charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct, indecent conduct and lewd and lascivious behavior, as were three other players for the Oct. 6 party aboard a boat from Al and Alma's Supper Club and Charter Cruises. Smoot allegedly used a sex toy on two women in the lounge area.
In a statement Friday, Smoot apologized for his actions and specifically apologized to the Wilf family, the coaches, Vikings' fans, Al and Alma's employees and Minnesotans.
"I used poor judgment and take responsibility for my actions," Smoot said. "I have learned a valuable lesson. I regret tarnishing the reputation of the Minnesota Vikings and the National Football League."
Last month, former Vikings running back Moe Williams was convicted of disorderly conduct in connection with the cruise. In his trial, the prosecution described the cruise as a raunchy party in which women on the boat changed into thong underwear and bras, gave players lap dances and, in some cases, stripped naked.
Charges against former Minnesota quarterback Daunte Culpepper were dismissed.
Offensive tackle Bryant McKinnie has a trial date scheduled for July 7.
The boat scandal was a low point for the team which finished 9-7 and missed the playoffs. Coach Mike Tice was fired at the end of the season and Culpepper was traded to the Miami Dolphins after suffering a season-ending knee injury. In court, Williams was described as "retired".
