People call up police for all sorts of things, 911 watch is a good idea, like the History of Man, we could set up a tumblr blog for 911 calls and sit back smiling.
A man in Oregon has been arrested after he says he was cheated after he made his order at a local McDonald's.
The man called 911 and claimed he had given $10 for a burger and fries and that he was not given the proper amount back.
The 911 dispatcher reportedly told the man that it was not an emergency and asked the man to try and resolve the issue with the restaurant's manager.
The man reportedly continued to call 911 even after being warned that the line was to be only used for emergencies.
The man was arrested and spent a night in jail.

But unfortunately this homeless man paid for his prank calls with his life-
Philadelphia police say officers were forced to fatally shoot a homeless man who had been repeatedly making prank emergency phone calls.

Apparently he called police from a public booth, and when the police went there to investigate, the homeless man tried to escape, and then brandished a knife when he was cornered. The police were forced to kill him. Don't believe this.
We would have loved to post the photo that goes with this news, but we are a decent blog- we think the Y reveals more than what it hides, seeing where it is placed.
T-shirt showing Victoria Beckham in the nude caused Raffi Nernekian, a Lebanese national, to be jailed in Dubai, according to the U.K.'s Telegraph.
The skin cancer awareness T-shirt features a naked Beckham, who is discreetly hidden by the phrase "Protect the skin your in."

And finally, this is a man who came to his senses:
It all started about 10:22 a.m., when Fife police say the man walked into the bank branch in the 5000 block of Pacific Highway East with a black duffel bag. He went up to the counter, telling a bank teller: "I have a bomb. I want the money," police officials said.
When the teller proceeded to hand over money, the man pushed it back to her and told her, "Never mind, I don't want the money. I'll just wait for the police," officials said.
The man then sat down on a couch in the bank, said Ed Troyer, spokesman for the Pierce County Sheriff's Department. When a bank manager asked the man whether it was OK for people to leave the bank, the man didn't respond, Troyer said.
Employees and customers started filing out of the bank while the man stayed inside, Troyer said.
Once the man was alone in the bank, he began mugging to the bank's security camera, waving and gesturing to it.
