a correlation between violence on TV and in real life...
"Heard anything about this?
Please keep all windows rolled up when stopped at traffic lights, as only cars with windows down are being targeted. Groups of teenagers have been caught, in alarming numbers, playing a new and dangerous game called Spunkball.
Spunkball consists of a group of teens in a car pulling up to a
stoplight, and looking around for a car stopped near by with an open window. When one is spotted, the teens shout, "Spunkball", and throw a gasoline soaked rag that
has been wrapped in aluminum foil through the open window.
On the outside of the foil attached a small firecracker, with the fuse lit.
When the firecracker explodes, it shreds the foil, and the rag is
ignited, causing a large flame that may catch the interior of the car on fire. Spunkball playing has already claimed two lives, caused uncountable injuries due to burns, and caused thousands of dollars in damage to automobiles.
The best defense, say authorities, is to keep all windows rolled up when stopped at traffic lights, as only cars with windows down are being targeted.
If you are at a red light and hear a shout of "Spunkball", and notice something come flying in your window, the best thing to do is to have all passengers immediately exit the vehicle. DO NOT try to retrieve the object, as it will ignite once the firecracker explodes.

If you're not "kicking arses in Afghanistan" or threatening to nuke the "evil axis" you're busy trying to anihalate each other...
Sheesh!
