The CPD were arresting people involved in the pillow fight, most likely because they were making the city look bad while the IOC is in town looking at the Olympic potential sites.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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

If you were arrested for pillow fighting, would you be embarrassed? Or would you feel cool?

It's like the guys who got arrested for putting up the Adult Swim marketing stuff in Boston. I think they thought it was hilarious at first but when they realized no one else did, they kept it low key.

I KNOW!
It's the first state where it didn't come from the courts too! (since we know how well that can turn out).

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
sara, when we moved, I ended up with a ton of bruises. And we didn't even pack ourselves. I am naturally clumsy, and when you're running around doing a ton of stuff, the chances of bruises increase. I fell on the stairs, I stopped a dolly with my leg, etc.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
The NYC pillow fight went fine, several friends were there.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I think the pillow fight issue is that, if pillows break open and feathers fly out, they're an enormous pain to clean up. Usually for big gatherings, cleanup costs are absorbed by permit costs, but something like this doesn't have a permit, usually.

yep Hil - interesting how you never hear of flash-mop clean-ups or facebook/myspace organized hipster trash removal with synchronized ipod soundtrack.
