Girls May Be Charged for Playing Super Mario Bros.

In real life ...

Five teenage girls from Portage County face potential criminal charges after attempting to play a real-life version of Super Mario Bros.

The Portage County Hazardous Materials Unit and Bomb Detection Unit were called in to downtown Ravenna on Friday morning after seventeen suspicious packages -- boxes wrapped in gold wrapping paper with question marks spray painted on them -- had alarmed residents.

Dude, you come up with strange stuff all the time. No way I'm going to pay attention to you today... ;)

This one is real! :)

[digitalghost]

I can't tell the real stuff from the fake stuff anymore.

Do I doubt police would actually call in a hazardous response team - no, but then again - do 16 and 17 year old even know what Super Mario Brothers is?

I am too lazy to research the generic names - so I will have to say it must be true based on your high post count.

In my day girls were simply content with burning their bra's and making tye-dye clothes. None of this terrorism stuff that you see now-a-days.

This sounds like a south park episode.

Today's teens are boring. Whatever happened to the good old days when teens would buzz-up on drain cleaner, then attempt to remove their own tonsils with vice-grips and a soldering iron.

This happened near me and I saw pics of the boxes. They looked like big gold presents with question marks. I think their mistake was leaving one on the courthouse steps. ;)

I do hope that this whole thing is dropped though. This whole scared of our own shadow thing is getting a little tiresome.
