Strange & Stupid: Amusing News

A German bank robber has been put behind bars after emailing police and newspapers to correct information in their reports.

That’s right, the 19-year-old used his own email to point out factual errors about his Roettingen heist.

According to daily Bild, the robber taunted police for mis-reporting his age, height and accent. He also pointed out that he escaped in a car, not on foot.

A few hours after sending the emails, the man was arrested in a gambling hall in Hamburg. “He was completely shocked,” the police spokesman said.

Italy, a nation full of people that love their country, is trying something no state has before. The Italian government has teamed up with McDonalds to create the McITALY. This pridefully patriotic burger is made with all Italian ingredients, and the colors are that of the Italian flag (don’t know where brown fits in, perhaps it’s assumed that the flag is shit, anyways.)

“We’re out to defend our identity and the ‘Made in Italy’ trademark,” Agriculture Minister Luca Zaia said in a statement, adding that they were trying to “promote the taste of Italy,” by giving an “imprint of Italian flavors to our youngsters,” he said.
What that means is: “we want to take the fun out of eating cheeseburgers.”

The burger comes with a choice of artichoke spread and Asiago cheese or onion, lettuce and smoked pancetta. Bring on the WORST red and green flavors to mix with a BURGER ever.

Yum, eat up!

Skåne, Sweeden - Police have put an end to an international ring of left-shoe robbers with the arrest of 5wo 50-something men accused of stealing a total of seven single shoes, reported Sydsvenskan newspaper.
Police were called when staff at the Malmö shopping center witnessed two men stealing several left shoes worth a total of 10,000 kronor ($1,400). When the footwear thieves returned to the store several hours later, they were arrested by police.

According to detective Stig Möller of the Malmö police, this is not an uncommon modus operandi. The thieves will first steal the left shoes in Sweden, then go to Denmark to steal their right counterparts.
