Well, Wolfram, I guess it depends on what you are admiring them for.
Though reading that, it sounds like an Ocean's 13 plot.

I don't endorse thievery, but there's something impressive about a non-violent bank robbery of that magnitude. Maybe that's why there have been so many movies with just that plot.

Quester! Sgt. Gabriel herding kittens with pillows was so cute!
I was wondering if they were just going to drop the whole kitten thing -- I'm glad that they didn't.

Is it wrong to admire these guys:
I think you can probably admire their industry and ingenuity, if not their goals and accomplishments.
That's a lot of hard work. I'd rather get a job.

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

Smackfest Slapped Down
A New York City radio station has agreed to stop its Smackfest promotion -- women slapping each other for prizes. WQHT Hot 97, a hip-hop station owned by Emmis Communications, held 24 Smackfest contests and then posted images on its website of the young women fighting. It was hit with a $240,000 fine for violating a state law prohibiting the promotion of a combative sport. New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer said the fine should be a wake-up call for businesses that think "outrageousness is a clever marketing strategy."

I'm getting the pig!
Promotion of a combative sport? Isn't boxing a combative sport?
Not that I'm pro-Smackfest. I'm too fragile for Smackfest.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Promotion of a combative sport? Isn't boxing a combative sport?
Maybe they thought slapfights were too silly. I certainly do.
Happy birthday, Aimée!
