SASKATOON–Three Saskatchewan men have been arrested in connection with a recent video posted on YouTube showing a trio of males with rifles shooting ducks on a prairie pond.

The provincial environment ministry said all three suspects, who face both federal and provincial charges, are from a Saskatoon-area town. The ministry also said the video was shot in rural Saskatchewan.

The YouTube video led to widespread outrage over the shootings. The three men appear in Saskatoon provincial court tomorrow.

5. If you live in Saskatchewan, you've gotta make your own activities,

I guess. Still, the provincial authorities aren't going to treat such game violations leniently, I'll wager.

Does Saskatoon have a song? It should...

6. If they do, does it have lyrics, or is it ...

... merely a "saskatune"?

9. Actually, Johnny Cash did a song called "Girl in Saskatoon."

There are several YouTube versions.

Who knew?

10. "Hey guys--let's do something disgusting and illegal and post it on Youtube!"

Is that the definition of stupid or what?

[MineralMan]

11. Yah, that's about it. Morons abound.

Basically, they're saying, "Hey! Look! We're absolute morons. Watch this!"

Beer was involved, I suspect.
