Man Charged For Eating Vote
Fed up with politics, man eats vote

Mon Apr 14, 12:38 PM ET

NAPLES (Reuters) - Ballot stuffing took on a new meaning in Italy's parliamentary election on Sunday when a man ate his ballot paper in protest at the country's politicians.

Police in Naples said they had charged the 41-year-old businessman with destroying election materials. He said all Italian politicians and politics "are crap" and that he was protesting "against the system."

- I wonder if they'll drop the charges if he gives it back....
