This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Dude, I refuse to accept that these are real people. Wanna know why? Every fake knife I've ever used on stage, I've tried to stab myself with. It's fun to push the knife into the handle, or bend the rubber blade.
I'd be looking for a murder charge, personally.
Uh, but there wasn't supposed to be prop knives on set at all?
Wait wait wait.
I just read past the first few paragraphs, admittedly I skimmed.
These people used real knives because they wanted it to feel more real?
Sorry, murder charges are off the table — that's a fucking Darwin Award.
What the fuck.
