And don't news organizations have anything better to waste ink/electrons on?

You've never heard of the much-feared 'Mouse Police'?
Actually, if they tag a woman for selling a goldfish to a kid, I don't want to imagine what they might do if you fail to kill a mouse, or alternatively, fail to keep if alive, or whatever the damn law happens to demand.
Yes, breakdown is in progress, send in the emergency beer.
Slightly worse than arresting a woman for selling a goldfish to a 14-year-old:

Never trust a culuture that can't produce a decent sitcom or porno.

That's the first I saw of this so-called "news". The BBC's lead of "Few are laughing in Australia following Robin Williams' joke..." is correct only insofar as no one I know in this country had heard about it, let alone taken offence. The Australian prime minister who rebuked Robin Williams over the joke is merely an insincerely jingoistic uber-PC tosspot, always eager to seize the flimsiest pretext to display his phony nationalism, believing this will endear him to voters. And it may, as plenty of Australians are FITH.
