    The Norway Post is out of bed now, and has the story in English
    Not much detail, though.

    OK, anyone who still doubts this is for real:

    Aftenposten has two articles in Norwegian, and a short summary in English

    Dagbladet also carries the story, but doesn't have an English version. They do however have pictures of Winona Ryder and Claudia Schiffer in rather daring dresses, so it's not all bad.

    The Norway Post seems to be napping, which is a pity since it's an English-language paper.

    Verdens Gang carries the story, again in Norwegian only, but "Jon (16) arrestert" doesn't require much translation.

    Stavanger Aftenblad carries it as their lead story.

    CNN Norge have it too but it hasn't made it back to CNN HQ yet.

    I want to rant about the whole DVD thing (DVDs suck! DVDs suck!!) but I'll save that for another day.
