It's Bad Behavior Friday™! -- drinking antifreeze edition

We begin with a cartoon:

This story sounds like it goes beyond the usual "thousands of images found on a computer" (which usually just means some wanker didn't clear his cache) -- a man whose mother runs a day care center in the San Jose suburb of Newark was found to have lots of child pr0n including pix of a girl under his mother's care. He was caught at the airport trying to flee the country.

A man, now 28, pretended for 20 years to be retarded so his mother could receive benefits for his handicap.

Now that he has been found out, the man now has to resign from his job as host of a right-wing talk-show.

Headline of the week: The New York Post, for I Adore A Girl Without Spellcheck Or Panties.

Finally, a movie starring Charlize Theron is filming in Seattle this weekend and re-enacting the 1999 WTO protests that rocked the city's downtown. Best line's in the lede:
Seattle police say this weekend's filming of a movie based on the 1999 WTO riots will have "minimal" impact on commuters and shoppers. Of course, they said the same thing seven years ago before the anti-globalization protests erupted into full-scale, tear-gas-choked riots.
Of course, this time they won't use real tear gas. Maybe.
