Welcome to our “Weekly Review,” a snapshot of the past week’s weird news featured on ITR! Now with all white-meat chicken!

Top stories: A tearful politician admits that he is one freaky chair sniffing bureaucrat, a sick man keeps his daughter imprisoned for 24 years, and proof exists that videogames can lead to violence! Crazy Jack Thompson would be pleased!

• Fat criminals are making a comeback in a big way. One overweight inmate is suing his county for weight he lost in jail. Today we learned about a man who is so overweight that he couldn’t fit into the courthouse. Wow! How do these criminals get fat? By eating snacks while on a dietary restriction, which might put one man in jail for 9 months!
• Animals, animals, animals! A baby monkey thinks an adorable teddy bear is its mom, while one king penguin narrowly avoided being raped by an antarctic fur seal. Don’t even get us started on the man who is shooting pigeons in the head with darts in Seattle. That’s just twisted.
• We had a few mastermind criminals. A guy was arrested for drunk driving twice… within minutes. A man’s “warning shot” hit his friend in the head. Lastly, one man tried to cash in a $360 billion check, to start a record company. A huge record company no doubt!

Comment of the week: zflynn on Antarctic fur seal tries to have sex with penguin:

It’s easy to laugh but you didn’t see that penguin….I mean WOW! was it a honey!

Crude and creepy, just the way we like it.
