FTA:

"To portray any sort of violence against humans and particularly authority figures, like policeman, is frowned open and shunned, he said."

So... Japanese games don't contain violence against humans, particularly authority figures?

Yeah.

"A couple of brown plants on the edges of some of those [forests] did catch on fire. But a section of soldiers that was downwind from that had some ill effects and decided that was probably not the right course of action," Hiller said dryly.

One soldier told him later: "Sir, three years ago before I joined the army, I never thought I'd say 'That damn marijuana'."

Why you should not get weightlifters drunk.

Talents take unwise turn
By DEAN CALCOTT

A national title-winning weightlifter misguidedly used his talents to tip over a parked car, causing nearly $1800 damage.

Jonathon Selkirk, 22, who is a national title winner in the under-85kg class for weightlifting, admitted a charge of wilful damage.

The Christchurch District Court was told yesterday that while visiting Invercargill for a weightlifting contest on October 15, Selkirk, who was intoxicated along with three associates, helped pick a parked car and tip it on its side.

Panel damage was caused along one side and a window was smashed in the early-morning offence, reparation of $1704 being sought.

Only Selkirk and one other man were caught, the other receiving police diversion.

Judge David Holderness said his actions showed "very poor judgment".

"In future you had better keep your weightlifting activities to organised competition," he said.

Lawyer Simon Shamy said Selkirk was willing to pay all the reparation. He was studying for an engineering career, and a conviction could affect career prospects.

Selkirk was of otherwise good character and had prospects of national representation overseas in his sport.

The judge agreed to discharge Selkirk without conviction, but ordered $1704 reparation and $250 costs.

He said if the others involved had any decency they would reimburse Selkirk for their share of reparation.

Hreh.

This one time, four guys were heckling Andre the Giant in a bar, and Andre reached the end of his temper. He chased them out of the bar, they locked themselves in their car, and Andre overturned it by himself. Andre was never punished because nobody believed the four guys claiming that a giant flipped their car while they were drunk.
