"We tend to automatically accept whatever is written as true,"
There are a whole lot of gulible people out there who reallybelieve that if they see it in print, it must be true, and this kind of media
,at this time, under these current circumstances really scares these large
numbers of mentally challenged, often highly reactive individuals.
Now, THAT makes me laugh, and at the same time makes me very cautious
about just being myself and clowning around in public.

The tabloid "the Star". If you really want a laugh,
read this, Another shining example of bad amateur reporting . I appologize
for going off on a rant, but these jornalists can really piss me off and they
create nothing but hassles for those of us that just want to have fun playing
