Trailer #2

Sat on the bench he didn't have to feel the pain that haunted his lower back since that day almost a year ago. It had gotten worse when it started getting colder. With the end of the year approaching, it became almost unbearable. He'd tried to run it off, but his heavy body wouldn't let him. The bench had groaned when he plumped down on it, but nevertheless stayed put under all that weight. He bit in his hotdog. A giant blob of ketchup chose the way of gravity and stained his shirt. He wrestled his smudgy handkerchief out of the pocket of his trousers and wiped at the stain. His shirt ended up the colour of blood. Detective Gavarni didn't care. He had seen a lot of blood pouring from this body. They said that was why it needed its rest, but Gavarni knew better: it wanted its grease levels up. With that knowledge he took another bite of his hotdog.

Life imitates art? Bad Santas run wild in Auckland (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/4539180.stm).

Let's say life imitates bad art.

I like the last couple of lines: 'But he added that identification of alleged wrongdoers might be problematic. "With a number of people dressed in the same outfit, it was difficult for any witnesses to confirm the identity of who was doing what," Sergeant Rogers told Reuters news agency.'
It's a new way to not get caught: dress up like Santa and no-one really knows who was doing what, so we'll have to let you go.

Nice icon btw. :-)
