I just thought a few might enjoy my "stupid people" story of the day. Please prepare your disgusted sighs...
So I'm at work, covered in paint from working on the next set when the police show up and ask me to come down to the station for questioning. While taking the 1/4 mile trip down the road I begin racking my brain to think what I would have done and coming up with nothing. As I enter the station i see my mom and my brother and I think the situation has taking another dive. So words are traded, time passes, and I figure out whats going on. My brother (who is 15) is being charged for terrorism and death threats. You see, he drew a little (not very good) comic about an ex of his. In the comic he zaps the girl with a beam from his hand and disintegrated her. Thats the death threat part of it, somehow the parrents of the girl got a copy of the comic and thought the worst of his doodles and pressed charges. But our happy story does not end there. With this cartoon he also had a story he was writing that had to do with himself being a mutant and fighting with the x-men. The police, being ignorant of anything X, saw this as a story of terrorism. Now just to recap... doodles of using superpowers = death threats, and x-men = terrorists.
I hope you found this story as amusing as i did.
Oh yes, and during this I was told if i did not stop laughing i would be arrested.
