Shooting Samo. (New York Times. 13/08/04)

A Japanese tourist was shot dead yesterday for taking revealing pictures at a wall famous for graffiti by dead black artist Jean Michel Basquiat. '"I think of his dirty hair, I just get horny and start cricking the camera," said Tokyo born Natsumi Yaki on her way to New York hospital where she died 43 minutes later from her wounds. New York police expressed sheer revulsion at the de-sanctifying of one of New York's art treasures. "I mean, I don't think he even liked Japanese women," scoffed Sergeant Bukowski shortly after shooting the woman. "I just hope we can get the blood off the wall." The woman's incensed Vietnamese husband appeared in court this morning facing charges of lewd misconduct. While being questioned he repeatedly asked for noodles and scoffed at the judges reprimand, saying, "It never happened. Nothing ever happened. Even while it was happening it wasn't happening. It didn't matter. It was of no interest . The crimes of the U.S. throughout the world have been systematic, constant, clinical, remorseless, and fully documented but nobody talks about them. It must be said, that as the absolute necessity of economic control is at the bottom of all this, any innocent bystander who happens to raise his / her shirt must be shot to death. I am hungry, please give me some noodles." The galley applauded his excellent English. He is now being detained at Guantanamo Bay as a suspected enemy combatant.
