Calif. agents use award ruse to reel in fugitives

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Dozens of California parole violators showed up to claim a very attractive offer: $200 and amnesty. And dozens of parole violators found themselves in handcuffs and, for most, headed back to prison

That's hilarious! Wendy Northcutt, who collects the stories that go into the The Darwin Awards files, divides Darwin Awards into stunts that kill those performing them, thus ensuring the removal of their genes from the gene-pool; stunts that don't kill the performers, but do effectively neuter them, thus ensuring the removal of their genes from the gene-pool; and stunts that don't kill or neuter the performers, but do get them locked up in durance vile for a good long while, thus ensuring the removal of their genes from the gene-pool. I'd say the idiots who responded to this "offer" without checking it out or taking the whole thing with a boxcar load of salt fall spang into the third category. Happy genetic extinction, guys . . .
