Summary - In Des Moines, Iowa a son was charged with domestic assualt, stated an article from cbsnews.com. It elaborated on this, saying that Patrick Hamman was arrested after he threw a bag of Cheetos. Once airborne, the bag of cheesy delights hit his father, Michael, in the face.

Opinion - What a gruesome scene it must have left. His father is traumatized, I'm sure. If he weren't arrested, the son could have been followed up with the sandwich. Then he would've been arrested for attempted murder! :O *dun dun dun* But in all seriousness, this is quite a ridiculous situation. Could you arrest someone for assualt if he or she were throwing marshmellows at you in a threatening manner? ..Well I hope not.

Summary - An Australian TV comedy show went through several checkpoints before APEC Security could realize the motorcade was a fake, said a cbsnews.com article. From this incident, eleven cast and crew were arrested, including one dressed as Osama bin Laden. The Australian show chose Canada as they believed it to be a "country who the cops wouldn't scrutinize too closely, and who feasibly would only have three cars in their motorcade, as opposed to the 20 or so gas guzzlers that Bush has brought with him."

Opinion - Some people might not find this funny, but I certainly do. And according to a CNN video, almost 90% of Australians agree with me. No one was harmed in any way by this act, except maybe APEC's image, but besides that no one was physically harmed from it. Since this is true, it's seems perfectly fine to get a good laugh from it.
