Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What the laser story needs is the "news media cred" angle. Something like...
Heh. And maybe some conspiracy theory elements. Like, a reporter working on the story went blind - in his sleep!
And how the story would be all over the news, except publication is being blocked by Big Laser.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Nice. And extra points for the experimental photography student detail -- you get "you call that art!!?!?!" and "pointy-headed intellectuals are too stupid to live in the real world" in one shot.

But not too much...you don't want the amateur snopeser-party-poopers to have too easy a time fact-checking. So I'd keep Ypsi and drop the Courier, just to give them some work to do.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
OMG y'all! My cousin's boyfriend's family lives in Michigan and she just forwarded me this:
"According to a story in the Ypsilanti Courier, Michael Dortmunder, 22 years old and a photography student at a local university, shone a laser into a digital camera and took a picture as part of an 'experimental photography' course section. Upon viewing the results on a monitor in the computer lab, however, he was immediately struck blind, as were two unnamed students who attempted to help him."
Get the word out people!
