FIGHT at the Boston Pops (pic)

[underpants]

In other Offbeat crime news, a fight broke out at opening night of The Boston Pops. While the orchestra played a medley from the movie "Gigi" a scream was heard from the normally tame Symphony Hall balcony, as two men duked it out over a noise complaint. One had his shirt partially torn off and the other had his hair pulled as patrons and security attempted to separate them. It remains unclear if hatred for "Gigi" -- or perhaps confusion with the movie "Gigli" played a roll in the fracas.

9. Very classy.

As if we couldn't tell that civilization continues its downward spiral...despite all of the gadgets we are so proud of inventing.
Are we really so much more evolved than folks were 200 years ago?
