A quick google tells me that this is common in sports, too.
For no reason in particular, I am now picturing a "quick google" as a small bird-like animal that periodically comes up behind you and whispers in your ear....
One of you is gonna fall and die, and I'm not cleaning it up!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
In retrospect, I may have potentially ignited a flamewar on TwoP. Someone posted a snippet of showfic using Goonies quotes, and I responded that I hated Sean Astin so much in that movie, I wanted to slap him hard enough to make Patty and Cathy Lane collapse in pain on their Nick at Night reruns.
We'll see if the author takes it as a personal slam rather than a tengental movie gripe.

I was sort of picturing it as a quick, sordid information retrieval done in some dirty back alley, or a nearby motel room over you lunch hour.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Huh.
Namely, Osama bin Laden.
In an interview with GQ in its new March edition, Crowe for the first time talks about a kidnapping plot against him, which he says was hatched by al Qaeda in a bid to " culturally destabilize" the United States.

I have only about 10 vowel sounds.
I'm down to about 6. And they're all schwa.

Our wings are not tired.
The kidnapping of Crowe would be a bad nasty thing, but not so much culturally destabilizing. I would still be culturally stable at any rate.

Art Crawl!!!
I was over at Amazon looking at the cover for HP6 and you know what?
Even if I thought I wanted to spend $60.00 on the supergigantic special edition, I wouldn't. Because I don't think there have been supergigantic special editions with sooperseekrit cover art for the other books and it would mean that my collection did not match.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Colin Farrell is lucky he didn't get kidnapped instead.

Compassionately intolerant
Crowe said he first thought the scheme was part of some elaborate Oscar publicity stunt hatched by studio executives.
Somebody's getting publicity...sadly.
And frankly, I think Paul Rueben's arrest had more cultural impact...
