Greetings fellow Bizarros:

Different areas are dealing with the pandemic in different ways. In Los Angeles they're havng "super-spreader" parties, while in Quebec they have an 8 p.m. curfew for all residents. But for every rule there is an exception, and the exception for the curfew rule is that you can be out and about if you have to walk your dog. One couple took a metaphorical approach to this exception, a metaphor the police did not appreciate.

A Quebec husband and wife were handed sizeable fines for violating curfew, despite the wife's protests that she was walking her dog and the fact the husband was wearing a leash.

The woman and her husband were each given $1,500 fines by Sherbrooke police for violating curfew. The pair was caught walking at 9 p.m. on Saturday evening.

Police said the two were walking towards downtown and did not cooperate with the officers. When questioned by police, the couple claimed they were following the rules.

Quebec officials have said people may walk their dogs after the 8 p.m. curfew, provided they stay within one kilometre of their house.

Over the first weekend under curfew, police officers across Quebec handed out 750 tickets worth thousands of dollars in fines to people caught out after 8 p.m.

Bizarrely,
Lewis

And you think YOU have bad neighbors

Video on social media showed a military tank driving around a Florida neighborhood last week, but a spokesperson with the Florida National Guard said the tank was not part of its fleet. The matter was cleared up by Miami-Dade Police, which issued a statement that read: "Miami-Dade Police Department received reports of a military-style vehicle observed on the Village roads. They looked into the matter and confirmed that the vehicle belongs to a private collector of decommissioned, surplus military items. The vehicle in question is demilitarized and unarmed. It was purchased as a collector item and was being delivered to the owner at the time that the video circulating social media was taken." Neighbors were openly unhappy about the military relic in their close quarters. "It's a poor choice of timing to have military equipment like that in a residential neighborhood," resident James Woodard said. "Obviously they have more money than sense."

Be Careful What You Ask For

So Denmark has a kid's show about a man with a giant, prehensile penis? Ok, but what about equity? I want to see a show about a woman with a vagina that can make balloon animals.
