************************************
Mark McGowan is at it again!
The odd political performance artist THIS time is dragging a television roped to his ear through the streets of Milan to protest, as he says, 'excessive political control over the media'. He's a third of his way through his planned 2 mile route, which should end up at the steps of Fininvest, the headquarters for the largest commercial broadcaster in Italy.
First time (I think) he showed up in my missive it was a few months ago when he pushed a peanut through the streets of London with his nose till he got to 10 Downing street. That one was a protest against high education costs. Previously I reported on his truly amazing feat of sitting in a bathtub filled beans for two weeks, with sausages around his head and chips up his nose. That one was a protest against people shying away from traditional English breakfasts.
For amazing shots, observe here.

Oops! Wrong Target!
The plan was this: Christopher Bonadiman would drive the car past the target while his passenger, Richard Allen Eppard, would fire the semiautomatic weapon at said target. Seems pretty clear. Apparently Richard isn't the sharpest crayon in the box, and he accidentally shot Christopher in the head. After the car crashed, Eppard ran away. Later he thought better of it and turned himself in to police.
Comment from the police: "I would say that this is probably one of the stupidest people we've come across in a very long time," police Sgt. Mark Weissmann said. "But at least he was responsible enough to turn himself in."

Funny Funny Funny
Jeffrey Barber is a funny guy. He thought it would be oh-so-funny to scare his wife into thinking he'd been shot. So he fired his .22-caliber rifle in the house & then smeared himself with tomato sauce and lay down on the floor. Boy oh boy was it a riot when his wife called 911 & they came out to the house. He ended up laughing himself straight back to prison on charges of violating parole by illegal ownership of many firearms and is facing a mandatory 15-years to life sentence.

Tenn. man arrested after changing pants
Kendrick Gibson failed to surrender himself for driving with a suspended license. So the police came over to his house in Nashville, TN, to drag him down to the station. In front of them, he started getting dressed in blue jeans. He suddenly stopped, pulled those jeans off & went for another pair. Not buying the 'maybe he needs his fat jeans' theory, the cops looked at the discarded pants and found some crack cocaine and marijuana in the pockets. So now Mr Gibson has added to his troubles by adding on charges of felony possession of crack for resale and misdemeanor marijauna possession.

Police quiz Daryl Hannah over Kill Bill poses
--ananova
Daryl Hannah has been questioned by police after she struck kung fu poses at the LA premiere of Kill Bill: Vol 2.
The actress gets nervous when meeting the press at glitzy events so decided to hide behind her assassin character Elle Driver.
She told Teen Hollywood: "I usually just race into theatres at premieres. But this time I thought I would walk in like Elle with her cocky attitude and stuff.
"So I went through the press line and I was standing on my car and doing kung fu and giving them the finger or whatever.
"Then when I came out of the theatre, there were five policemen waiting for me, wanting me to take a breathalyser test."
Hannah said they talked to her for a minute or so before letting her go: "They said: 'Well, you seem okay.' They couldn't seem to understand that I was just acting. It was weird."
