I shit you not!
From stuff.co.nz:
A Christchurch man paid the price for dozing off while on a date with his wife last night.Radio reports say a husband and wife were at the film PS I Love You at Hoyts Cinema in Northlands Mall, when the man nodded off.
His annoyed wife decided not bother to wake him up at the end of the movie and went home alone.
She woke at 3am to discover her husband had still not made it home so rang his cellphone and woke him up.
The man then set off the mall’s alarm system when he tried to leave.
Radio said police arrived to find a very embarrassed couple.
A police spokesman said it sounded like a case of “husband neglect” to him.
A Hoyts Cinemas representative could not be reached for comment.
Of course, ‘husband neglect’ is a very serious crime here in NZ. You’ve been warned.

Oops, I goofed and left this on the wrong entry.
I’m doing an experiment today…I’m calling it Monday Meandering (I know…it’s only Sunday…but I want to post it for tomorrow.) My blog will link to this post…hope you can visit!
Glad I don’t live there…I’d be incarcerated for life for husband neglect. Of course, all of this assumes that my husband would actually GO to the movie in the first place. Not likely!

PS I Love You? ‘Sake.
They both should have shot out of hand.

Thanks Di – link away! I reckon being forced to watch PS I Love You should be grounds for divorce.
Devin – I have no idea what your comment means?!

Well now.
Desperate bad fillum made from a even worse book by a certain Ahern.
No mercy for ‘em.

I actually thought that movie was quite good, considering it was a chick flick *cough*
and it wasn’t because of the loverly eye candy! hmmmm Gerard Butler!

I think that fella should get some sort of award for giving this film exactly the kind of publicity it deserves.
