Where are all the movies? “Maybe they don’t really have to give out Oscars this year. Instead, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences could just award little blue ribbons to every movie released.”

Beware the french fry! – This twelve-year-old was arrested (handcuffs and all!) for eating fries in the Metro Station. Apparently, garbage was causing all kinds of problems in the stations, so they outlawed eating. Adults caught eating would normally just get a fine, but juveniles charged with criminal offenses must be taken into custody. … eating is a criminal offense? I’m sure that these stations can get pretty messy, but isn’t this a little extreme? Do they really have to “mount a week-long undercover crackdown” on something like this? Couldn’t they just confiscate the fries?
