impersonating a journalist is a crime…somebody better tell Fox News!

So there’s this kid. He loves the Mets. Really, doesn’t everyone? But he loves them so much he forged an NBC employee card and got a press pass so he could get into Shea Stadium to watch them play.

And now he’s in the pokey.

Police arrested the 18-year-old Leli Friday night at Shea just before the start of the New York Mets-Colorado Rockies game and charged him with impersonating a journalist, the Queens District Attorney announced Saturday…

Leli was also charged with criminal possession of a forged instrument, falsifying business records, larceny, criminal possession of stolen property, criminal impersonation and criminal trespass.

He was arraigned Saturday in Queens Criminal Court and released on his own recognizance.

Leli was scheduled to return to court on Sept. 27. He faces up to seven years in prison if he’s convicted.

Man, not even George Will loves it that much!

BoingBoing‘s caught on, and featured some of the YouTube videos yesterday. Unfortunately, someone’s suggested they check out his blog. It’s a good blog, don’t get me wrong. But it hasn’t been updated since April 25th, which a quick glance would show. It’s still on my blogroll, but my trigger finger’s getting itchy.

This ep is a wee bit inside; it is quite possible there are Canadians who don’t know there is no cod fishery in Saskatchewan. Yep, it’s true; the Saskatchewan cod has been gone for some time.

snakes on a paper plane. What did you think it was?Now 25% more motherfucking!

Via Defamer.

Yes, today Snakes on a Plane opened, to predictably mixed reviews, and to celebrate this turning point in cinematic history, an apparent basement-dwelling nerdicon has chosen to commemorate this by creating Snakes on a Paper Plane.

It’s got a full-sized pattern so you can print out snakes in glorious colour, plus all the instructions on folding said paper plane, for those kids who actually paid attention in class instead of learning this or making necklaces out of staples like everybody else.

Seriously, how can you not???

It’s been worshipped, parodied, analyzed and merchandised months before its release, and now the B-movie turned Internet phenomenon “Snakes on a Plane” is finally here. Will it live up to the anticipation? Who knows, but with all the genuinely scary news about flying lately, we’re looking forward to some good, cheesy thrills. To celebrate, we’re giving you your own plane — complete with snakes. Unleash your inner Samuel L. Jackson and enjoy.
