Whacked Out News

It's getting harder and harder to find funny news stories, even harder to find a "good news" story. With all that's happening in the world it appears that only doom and gloom is being reported and even when there is an almost funny type story - somebody is still getting hurt.
Take this for example. Recently in Sweden a Japanese pop star was beaten up and robbed, what makes this story funny? The guy was dressed as a pineapple!
Not exactly funny, the pop star was left with a cut lip and the loss of a dental implant, police have no leads. Dressed as a pineapple? WTF was he thinking?
Police in Detroit have ruffled some feathers after they cracked down on an organized pillow fight at a downtown park.
The Detroit News newspaper reports police at Campus Martius Park prevented the feathery fight Saturday by disarming pillow-toting participants.
The bout was part of a worldwide event organized on social networking websites.
Michael Davis says police confiscated the 32-year-old man's pillows but returned the cases. He says he was told he needed a permit. Scott Harris of Ferndale told the News it's "not illegal to own a pillow."
Detroit police spokesman James Tate says cleanup was the issue. What a crock!
Workers at a Tim Hortons in New Brunswick had to do a double-double take after a drive-thru customer placed an order in the nude.
Police officers were called to the coffee shop in Saint John's north end after reports of a naked driver.
The women working at the drive-thru window were not impressed.
And that's about all I can find for news you should have read and probably missed. Got a great news story? Let me know, good news is always appreciated.
