Famicom Vandals Hit Scottish Church

Thanks to the Gaming Age messageboard for pointing to a local Scottish news story describing a church in Aberdeen bizarrely daubed with a Nintendo-related slogan. According to the story, "Paint was splashed all over the church's front door and the phrase 'The Famicom' was scrawled in foot-high writing on the wall." Although the story says that "Police have confirmed they are searching for the culprits - but are unable to shed any light on the meaning of 'The Famicom'", readers may have some idea of the word's origin, although perhaps not the motive for the attack.

Re:Unable to Shed Any Light?

The UK police are stupid. I've had much first hand dealing with them and this is my conclusion.

Not only is their sense of humour removed on the first day of police training school, but their manners and common sense are removed too. They are turned into power tools with one objective: Be difficult.

There was a burglary a few weeks ago in a house that backs onto my garden. Exactly one week later the police, in their helpful and efficient way, asked me if I'd seen anything. A week later! I ask you...

UK police? Don't make me laugh.
