What started as an April Fool's joke involving bad grammar landed seven people in jail Tuesday.
Sturgis police arrested seven Sturgis men for placing more than 20 threatening letters on various businesses, schools, banks and at the post office. At least 12 signs were posted Monday morning. Another 20 were put up Tuesday evening, according to Sturgis police.
The letters all read "All your base are belong to us and you have no chance to survive, make your time."
{snip}
The "All your base are belong to us" are lines said by Cats, a bad guy in a 1989 Japanese video game. The poor translation to English led to its use by many involved in the video game culture.

Did you come across the post
"How can we make foreigners support our nominee in 04" thread?
To: Charley Chan
Methinks they are taking this homeland security thing all too seriously. Maybe...maybe not.

Retarded cops who probably have Internet access in-car and are too donut-fed stooopid to use Google.
