I saw that on the news yesterday. I thought the whole thing was pretty damn silly.

[Bhelliom]

which part red?

The guy in the banana suit? Or the guy in teh banana suit getting arrested?

OK...let's review.

Man in a banana suit is "rescuing" or whatever a "knife fight" that is being filmed.
Police officer thinks it's "real."
Bystander yells "Oh my God, don't shoot the banana!" (I think that's my favorite line of the entire incident.)

Now, I can see charging/fining/whatever for not getting the proper permits for filming a television bit in public and snarling traffic.

What I can not see is that someone didn't sit that officer down and have a very long talk with him about thinking *anything* involving a six foot banana being "real."

I think he should be behind a desk for a while before there's another produce incident that ends in tragedy.

My thoughts exactly. If I lived in that town, I wouldn't sleep at nights knowing a) the cops are morons and b) there's a banana on the loose.

Btw, ashame Banana Boy got arrested, but I hear he'll make it out on "a peel".

I had to give you points. The banana on the loose line just really cracked me up.


Of course I am on smokable anti-depressants at the moment.

Mkay... the next time I go out on the rob/steal/pilfer/kill/murder/stomp I'll wear a banana suit in the hopes the cops think I'm doing something else.

The cop was only doing his job (protecting and serving) the moron wearing the nana suit needs a fucking slap!

Perhaps the officer saw too many asparagus kidnapping commercials...
