The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you.

What's new and/or interesting in Philly theaters this weekend.

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you.

Breaking
the law, breaking the law. We -ist folks love us some crime, and no
misdemeanor is too petty for a post on any of our sites. This week,
join us for a rogues' gallery of miscreants major, minor, and alleged.

Gothamist gets us started with
"Law
& Order", muppet style. Oh, you know what isn't a crime? Taking
pictures on the MTA. So, why
are cops stopping photographers? In other Gotham crime, a group
of Asian men was attacked
by a group of white guys in Queens. Finally, Boy
George reports for his court mandated community service. Sweet.

Londonist brings us the tale
of poor Bob Hoskins, shaken
at his near-miss with terrorists. Meanwhile, Interpol
sweeps in to reclaim a lost Peruvian artifact. Then, there's the
slasher
who claims he got his weapon from President Bush. Ouch!

Phillyist's bus system, SEPTA,
is fighting
crime in a whole new way, and it would be a crime in and of itself
for you not
to read this story about Oreo the cat. Oh, and can
we agree that requesting "Piano Man" at a piano bar should be
illegal?

Torontoist's thorough
coverage
of the XVI
International AIDS Conference, doesn't fit into the "crime" theme,
but it's too great to pass up. But we're back on track with their href="http://www.torontoist.com/archives/2006/08/toronto_bike_po.php">post
on bike rack vulnerability and an
interview with a controversial crime fighter.

DCist brings us a murder
that gets more mysterious by the day, and we're considering a life
of crime ourselves, if it'll allow us to dine
out like DCist. And if it's not illegal to sell
soiled mattresses, it should be.

SFist muses on the negligent behavior of a public transit employee, covered the
questionable confession of a man arrested for the murder of
JonBenet Ramsey, and delineated the highway robbery that is the Bay Area real estate market.



Shanghaiist brings us this
video of "one
of the worst cover bands we have seen in China", which isn't
illegal, but should be. We're unclear on the legal status of an "invisible
monster cock", and we'd prefer to stay that way. Price
gouging on drinks is a criminal act, in our opinion.

Chicagoist gets thrown in the
hoosgow by readers
who hate the Annual Air & Water Show. Should bottle service be illegal? Chicagoist's commenters debate that,
too. And the criminally overdiscussed (and we say this even as we
trotted this out as a theme last week) gets the Chicagoist
commenter treatment, as well.

LAist exposes the questionable ethics of 's marketing, tells us how to make the
criminally tasty Moscow
mule, and creates
a criminal amount of garbage.

Houstonist blows us away with
the announcement that they
wear pantyhose. Someone call the fashion police! Houston's city
council takes a bite
out of shoddy newspaper rack crime. The only real criminals in
Houston seem to be flying
roaches. (No, not those kind.)

Those miscreants at Bostonist
take their shot at our
newest public enemy number one, Mel Gibson. Public enemy number
two? Gold
bricking spammers. Number three? Bad
mergers.

Seattlest gets a
photo of missing person Bettie Page, breaks some laws of their own
by getting "drunk
on clandestine vodka, and yell(ing) at passing cars." When is
domestic violence kinda understandable? Now.

Austinist's lovable rogues
tell us about issues in their
state's gubernatorial race, eagerly anticipate the arrival of the
criminally hilarious Onion, and bemoan
the firing of a teacher who committed the crime of (gasp!) partial
nudity.

In an effort to increase traffic to our sister sites (because hopefully, one good turn deserves another and if we help them they'll help us), we thought we'd give you motivation to click the links below by presenting you with a list incongruous enough to pique your curiosity.

...Stupid: This footage is old, but it's been making its rounds on the interweb this week, and it's a fine example as to why Britney Spears and Kevin Federline should never have been allowed to reproduce. (Via The Superficial.)

? Pamela... Poke her? Phillyist is giggling. (Via The Hi-Heeled Hotties)

We're having a clumsy, clumsy week. Fortunately, our clumsiness doesn't interfere with our typing...much. It is making that "j" key a little less fun to hit. Good thing there's no "j" in "-ist-a-verse."

Elite -ist HQ was partly debilitated last week because for whatever reason, the elevator wouldn't stop on our floor. No worries, really -- we just took the elevator up a floor and walked down. Unfortunately, our elevator is now 100% broken, and all of the other inhabitants of our ten-story building are probably just as upset as we. On the bright side, there are no stairs on the information superhighway, and our -ist brethren are as good as down the hall, instead of up six very steep flights.
