I wish I were making this up...
So every now and then you see something online and think somebody has to be making that up. This, friends, is really one such fine example. During a drug raid in March in Florida, detectives were caught playing bowling on Wii Sports during the nine-hour raid.

The Polk County sheriff, Grady Judd, announced that an investigation would be launched to look into the matter. Further, he cites this as a "mistake". Um...yeah; a mistake? Did they accidently turn on the Wii, accidently pick up the Wiimote, and accidently start bowling? This could, perhaps, be the most ignorant thing I've heard in a long, long while. To make matters worse, did these detectives not know that they were being recorded by security cameras? What level of competence is that? Shouldn't detectives trained to do drug raids be able to recognize a security camera? This is just another case of tax dollars at their finest.
