STEVEN HAMILTON ANIMAL CAN I EAT

The death of a 23-year-old man at a Wellington cinema on Sunday was unexplained but not suspicious, according to police. The body of the 23-year-old was found by a cleaner at Reading Cinema on Courtenay Place shortly before 8.30pm Sunday evening following a screening of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

A security guard who found the man thought he was "asleep" after seeing him still on his seat after everyone else had left, he told reporters. When he saw the rest of the disgruntled crowd leaving he assumed it was the weak plot and bad acting they were unhappy with. But only time would tell the real consequences the terrible film would have on the public.

Who knows how many more members of the public will be struck down by this terrible film but if you must see it please be prepared.

Former hot dog speed-eating champion Takeru Kobayashi has been arrested at this year's event in New York. The six-time champion, who did not compete in this year's event, was arrested as he tried to get on the stage after the competition.

Mr Kobayashi had refused to sign a contract with the speed-eating body Major League Eating and was barred from the event at Coney Island. Joey "Jaws" Chestnut won the contest for the fourth year running. Mr Kobayashi, the thin Japanese contender who smashed all previous US records in 2001, jumped a barrier and tried to get up on the stage while the crowd chanted: "Let him eat!"

He briefly resisted police attempts to eject him from the stage, grabbing a barrier as they pulled him away. The 32-year-old has been charged with resisting arrest, trespass and obstructing governmental administration. Mr Kobayashi, nicknamed "The Tsunami", had written on his Japanese-languange blog that he didn't want to sign a contract that would prevent him from entering speed eating competitions run by other federations.
