Holy crap, this is seriously messed up:

South American Football - Referee beheaded by fans for killing player

There were absolutely horrific scenes at an amateur football match in Brazil when spectators lynched a referee and put his head on a stake after he had killed a player.

The barely believable incident happened in Maranhao, Brazil, last Sunday.

According to reports in Brazil, referee Otavio Jordao da Silva (20) fatally stabbed footballer Josenir dos Santos Abreu (30) during a heated moment of a match.

Santos Abreu is believed to have argued and then struck the referee after being unhappy with a decision.

It is believed the referee was carrying a knife throughout the match and fatally stabbed the player in retaliation.

Santos Abreu was rushed to hospital but died from injuries on the way.

Outraged by the incident, some spectators then apparently decided to inflict a gruesome revenge on the referee.

According to reports, the referee was tied up, beaten, stoned and quartered. They then put his head on a stake and planted it in the middle of the pitch.

One man, Luiz Moraes de Souza, 27, has been arrested over the incident. He has admitted to assaulting the referee but denied killing the man. Police are searching for two more suspects.

They are currently viewing video footage of the incident filmed by a witness with a mobile phone.

In a statement, the regional delegate of Santa Ines, Valter Costa, who is looking after the case, said: "One crime never justifies another crime. Actions likes this do not collaborate with the legality of state law."
What the f*cking f*ck is wrong with people?!

Yeah i know, but soon the government will majorly crack down on it and we'll all be like mindless puppets with no freedom.

I've already seen this movie & that's why i didn't bother torrenting it, i just thought it would be nice to sit down in bed on a sunday night and watch a movie but noooooo. Guess i'll just wait for the F1, hopefully Webber takes that **** Vettel out on the first turn.

Pretty easily actually, the government can ask your Internet Service Provider (Eg Telstra, Optus) to block all torrent sites, and then every time you try to visit a torrent site on a telstra/optus/etc network it will not allow you on it. (This already happens in some countries like the UK and some European countries.)
It's gonna be pretty easy to do so in the future since everyone will be on the NBN.

Sure, you can just use a proxy (IP Address mask) to make the site think you're at another location, but anti piracy laws are only getting stricter and you'll see more people going to jail for pirating.

Yeah, that'll be a highly popular move :rolleyes:

It gains our government nothing and loses them a HUGE amount of popularity.. why on earth would they do it?

And if one company blocks it the other companies won't and they'll get a flood of new business. Police aren't going to start raidings peoples houses for pirating a movie

Hah! Webber will still be crunching gears on the start line while Vettel is at the first turn.;)

They only really crack down on the people uploading stuff, don't they anyway?

They will do it simply because America is doing it, we do everything they do.

Okay everyone - serious question. Playing pick-up sticks with my grand-children and both hate losing. Couldn't believe getting upset because one or the other got the black one stick and cleaned up. Hopefully it is just an age thing (6 and 8). How do you teach kids to be a good losers?
