Posted January 31, 2012 It's loosely related, due to "free speech" and all. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-16810312 A 26-year old tweeted the following: Free this week, for quick gossip/prep before I go and destroy America. 3 weeks today, we're totally in LA pissing people off on Hollywood Blvd and diggin' Marilyn Monroe up! The second one was a reference to Family Guy. Him and a friend arrived in America, they were questioned by five hours. He was arrested on grounds of terrorism and she (his friend) was arrested on suspicion of being the lookout while he dug up the grave of Marilyn Monroe. They spend 12 hours in prison before they were sent back to the UK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
