What's the stupidest thing you ever got in trouble for? I have... a few, some of which I've detailed here before.
But you might not have heard about the time the Daily Mail did a bullet-point scare job on me in 2016, because I tricked Selfridges staff into printing rude words on some Nutella jars.

don't act surprised when militants treat american civilians as legitimate targets. the US has been killing entire buildings full of people on the basis that some guy's girlfriend lived there; this is just the first time we see a text screenshot of the vice president immediately replying "excellent".
