FREAK FRECKLED CROCKERY CROOK CRACKS CODE
The Administration has today confirmed that their maximum security dinnerware vault has indeed been compromised by the criminal known as 'PLATESY', who first claimed to have access to the secure facility last week in a statement released on Youtube. The video consisted largely of what appeared to be non-compostable plates being used as frisbees by PLATESY and his or her two masked companions. Police Commissioner Jordan told the press, "Police are fully cooperating with Federal agents to keep the peace and bring this freckled miscreant to justice. Any citizen with information as to the whereabouts of PLATESY or his partners in crime is encouraged to come forward. However we DO NOT reccommend approaching these criminals - they are armed with unlicensed crockery and may be highly dangerous."
CUPCO, the corporation which outbid all its' competitors for the Vault's security contract, did not reply to our requests for comment.

STUDENT INCITES PANIC WITH BREADBOX DISPLAY
Staff Reporter
The St. Louis Herald's reporter was the first on the scene after a Washington University student was spotted toting a breadbox around campus. The student was quickly intercepted by St. Louis' SWAT team, whose snipers removed the breadbox from the student's possession through the application of high-velocity projectiles.
Upon hitting the ground, the breadbox opened and was discovered to be filled with paper. The student's friends and family claim that the contents were simply the student's biology textbook, a claim that has not yet been verified. In the interest of public safety, the FBI is currently examining each page for subversive anti-genetic modification sentiments, such as traces of flour from a non-government approved baking facility. Recent raids on student housing have revealed that Washington University students in possession of several ounces of white powder, later proved to be unlicensed flour, and federal prosecutors have stated that these criminals will receive the strongest punishment possible under the law.
While proof of illegal flour has yet to be discovered in this most recent case, this dangerous trend of re-purposing discarded storage and processing devices for baked goods must be put to a stop. The emergence of 'toaster and breadbox chic' is at best a symptom of backwards-thinking nostalgia for days before Monsanto brought about a new era of food design, and at worst the dangerous incitement of public disorder.
The student is currently in the St. Louis' General Hospital's trauma ward undergoing surgery for high-velocity projectile extraction, but is expected to make a full recovery. If found innocent of possession of unlicensed flour, he will be asked to perform community service for creating a public panic by appearing to run an illegal bread-transportation operation.
The St. Louis Herald is grateful for the continued patronage of its sponsor, Monsanto-Hostess-ConAgra Foods Inc., without whom it would be unable to continue working for the public good.

Massive Orange Crop Seized by OEA
The Orange Enforcement Administration has uncovered a crop of orange trees in the city of Redsands, CA, the biggest bust in five years, according to spokesperson Kari Grant.
"We're proud to announce that in the ongoing war against orange planters from Mexico, we've uncovered a crop that was planted among other trees in the area."
Spokesperson Grant noted that the city has long been a notorious haven for such activity, going back at least a century. "The climate is ideal for both lounging and growing oranges," she stated, "Which is why, of course, we keep a close eye on the sale of lounge chairs, in hopes of deterring such activity."
Anybody spotting a grove of orange trees is encouraged to contact the OEA or your local law enforcement agency.
