"I think they were awfully fast to pull out a rifle. If a person started knocking over a few dominoes they wouldn't shoot him would they?"

You're damn right they would.

...don't be so sure.

Prosecution sought in death of domino-toppling sparrow

What an awesome title.

[Psychotic]

I think they should have made a tiny little cross and then crucified the bird. Why? The concept of a TV company crucifying a bird amuses me.

This is the funniest thing ever in the universe, besides the bird being dead, that's kind of sad.

But the domino people getting all mad at a bird. You sparrow! *shakes fist*

Oh man.

"That bird was flying around and knocking over a lot of dominoes. More than 100 people from 12 countries had worked for more than a month setting them up," said Endemol spokesman Jeroen van Waardenberg.

Oh man. That bird! That dratted bird!

Seriously though, they shot it out of revenge.

Rofl, that bird got pwnt. I'd be pretty pissed if a bird just flew over and did that to a record-breaking set of dominoes. What's the big deal anyway? Tons of animals are shot everyday for sport, from hunting. This is just a bird, killed for a reason.

The common house sparrow — of a species on the national endangered list

Oxymoron ftw!

hahahahahaha

Poor sparrow...

[Big D]

Bunch of asses. "Hey, this rare and endangered animal interfered with my big-scale children's game! We'd better slaughter it now, before this CRISIS gets any worse!"

[Miriel]

I have no pity for the bird.
