Not since Lady GaGa has a cult leader so brazenly courted publicity.
After having to issue multiple apologies for his role in covering up sexual abuse in the Church, claiming that condoms worsen the AIDS crisis and decrying gay rights as ‘insidious and dangerous’, Pope Benedict XVI has raised the stakes of controversy by wearing a meat dress likening atheism to the cold-blooded genocide.

An evil genius in Argentina, standing trial over allegedly using counterfeit money, has been found not guilty of the charges because the forgeries were so bad.
Fake money: noted for its obvious lack of famous mugshots. D'uh.
The federal court decided that the fake notes were “so clumsy and crude” that “they could not be accepted by most people.”
The accused, a 65-year-old tried to use a false 100 peso note as well as a false US $50 bill.
Judges in Buenas Aires decided that the quality of the forgery was so poor that most people would not reasonably have been fooled. The charges were dismissed on Wednesday.

Detective Juergen Richter entered a German bank to committ a robbery, using his police-issue pistol, an unmarked police car, and made no attempt to disguise his appearance. He is alleged to have stolen £8,000.
CCTV footage of the robbery led police straight to the 55-year-old perpetrator.
Norbert Schaetzle, a spokeman for the police, said: “He said he had severe financial problems and wanted to solve them quickly.”
Another officer added: “It is hard to imagine a more inept robbery. When you think how many failed criminal plans he has dealt with over the years you would think he might have known better.”
Richter is being charged with possessing a weapon while idiotic armed robbery.

An delightfully dastardly elementary school baseball coach in Washington has been accused of using members of his team to help him break into a local store.
Baseball skills are known to be widely transferrable
The legal documents allege that the man took his son and two other members of the team to an empty store in Arlington.
Police claim that the man’s son crawled in through the air vent and unlocked the back door for his father, who then used his finely honed coaching skills to encourage them to retrieve things from inside. One of the boys later told his stepfather of what had happened, and he subsequently informed the police.
Prosecutors charged the 31-year-old with burglary on Monday. The boys are not expected to be charged.

An intellectually-challenged drug dealer has broken rule number one of the Drug Smuggling Code (not that I would know anything about that) by forgetting to claim the stash after arriving in the UK.
Smuggling heroin is almost as illegal as smuggling water bottles over 100ml. Almost.
UK Border Agency officials say they found the suitcase going around a luggage carousel at Heathrow Airport. It was packed with 20 kilograms of heroin, worth approximately £800,000 and is believed to have arrived on a flight from Mexico on Friday.
Senior investigation officer for HM Revenue and Customs, Stuart Robinson, added: “At present we have not identified a passenger for this baggage.”
Possible owners are asked to come forward, preferably with their hands in the air.

Two men in Kentucky have been imprisoned for stealing a baby Jesus from a family’s Nativity scene over Christmas last year.
This is what Christmas is all about.
The men, aged 21 and 19, were sentenced to 45 days in jail and 2 years probation after pleading guilty to the charges of theft and receiving stolen property – both misdemeanours. Police also recovered other various Christmas decorations from the men’s apartment.
Attorney David Dalton said that most first-time theft charges did not receive jail time, but added:
“Parents shouldn’t have to explain to children why someone would steal ‘baby Jesus’ out of a Nativity scene or rip decorations from the side of the house. It was a stupid stunt and deserved some jail time.”
Jesus was later to reappear in a marmite lid, before being recovered in their apartment of ill-begotten Christmas decorations.
