Foreign Criminals Play Wii Awaiting Deportation

The Telegraph reports, somewhat breathlessly, that "foreign criminals" are being given Nintendo Wii and plasma televisions to while away their time as they await deportation.

The detainees of Colnbrook Immigration Removal Centre in Berhshire "enjoy computer games, five-aside football with cash prizes and televisions in every cell."

"Some detainees have Nintendo Wiis. If the consoles go wrong staff are sent to the nearest Argos to pick up a replacement.

So that's where all of those Wii are going.

The Haruhi Dance In Prison (Now In Color!)

Posted by Brian Ashcraft at 6:00 PM on November 21, 2007

Previously we covered the inmates at Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center in the Philippines. But it was dark, so hard to tell whether they were actually dancing or trying to escape. Recently, a version in living colour has popped up on the internet. The three dancers in the front have ribbons around their necks which are supposed to be like the ones the anime characters wear. The colour clip really shows the world one thing: This is what musicals in hell look like. So remember kids, don't get locked up in Philippine prisons. They'll make you do things. Bad things. Like dance and wear ribbons.

Thanks, Brian!
