"Deranged hooligans" and "Harrowing scenes" in this fine piece of Metro journalism:

Today we launch an impassioned appeal to find the reprobates who were responsible for dumping a portion of perfectly edible chips on a car roof.
The tasty snack was left without reason on the top of a car outside The Merchant’s House Bed and Breakfast in Frome, Somerset, and was discovered on Sunday morning.

Someone has to be taking the piss? :hmm:

Pretty harmless, or a small act that’s symptomatic of an increasingly lawless society? This is the question that needs to be asked.

Earlier this year, similarly harrowing scenes were witnessed when a KFC meal was abandoned in broad daylight on the streets of Cheltenham.

OK, I get it, someone at the Metro is taking the piss of the local newspaper websites, their source for these articles. :D
 
Here's the original source:

Chips thrown on car in Frome near bed and breakfast

And now #Chipgate, as it has been dubbed on Twitter, has got out of hand, one resident has expressed fears over an "epidemic" of food attacks in Frome, revealing chips were shoved up his exhaust and macaroni cheese put on his car windscreen.

She said: "It just seemed a bit senseless and stupid. I'm very short so if it were my car it'd be really hard to clean off. Perhaps they'll wait for seagulls.

That's average for the local press nowadays, following all the cut backs, they are on a downward spiral, a once great industry, now on it's knees, glad I got out when I did.

On the 'Hold the Front Page' industry website, the decline of standards is an ongoing topic, and there's lots of piss-taking about 'reports' like these, clearly someone at the Metro has a similar sense of humour.
 
Man holds frog hostage:

The man then reached down and picked up a frog. He wanted to hand it to the deputy, but then changed his mind and began shouting that he was holding the innocent frog hostage, as well as yelling threats at the Deputy.

A North Platte police officer arrived to assist the deputy and the subject began to throw paper and trash at the officer, while holding the frog hostage. The deputy gave the subject numerous commands to comply and calm down. Eventually the deputy deployed his Taser, releasing the frog and controlling the man.

He was taken to Great Plains Health and placed in Emergency Protective Custody. Drugs and maybe alcohol is suspected. The frog appeared to be uninjured.

Frog dropped as hostage as deputy uses taser

Once again, the last line includes the phrase "Drugs and maybe alcohol is suspected." Nice to know that the frog was released unharmed.

The startled 49-year-old leapt up from the bog with his trousers around his ankles before pursuing the creature around the living room in a farcical fox chase.
