Sex pigs halt traffic after laser attack on Pokémon teens. Tiny Insjön in central Sweden isn't known for pig mask-wearing couples shooting lasers at Pokémon hunters before having sex against a waterwheel. But that could be about to change. (SLSwedishlocalnews)

I don't believe it. I'm pretty sure I am hallucinating this year after falling face first into a cave filled with mushrooms. I'm pretty sure the Trump thing is just a bear that has been burying my unconscious body to eat later.

The masked shooters, who also wore T-shirts labeled ‘King’ and ‘Queen’, were next spotted by incredulous motorists as they had sex

[...]

The police didn’t care so much about the traffic jam, she said, but officer Daniel Hagthorpe was concerned about the alleged laser attack and public sex.

“Pointing at someone with green laser can cause injury if it hits the eyes,” he told Dalarnas Tidningar.
I am really hoping some of this was lost in translation, but ...yikes, Sweden.

The t-shirts are what nails it - when you want go out and have public pig-mask sex, you want to do it in style.

I don't understand the lasers part.

Basically you have a cavity containing some medium (say Nitrogen gas), and you pump energy into it to push a lot of atoms up to an excited state. Then you inject some photons, quantum magic happens, the atoms transition to the ground state and you get a whole bunch of coherent photons.

"Isn't Sex Pigs a Black Sabbath song?"

Swedish sex pigs halting traffic,
Blinding pokemon fanatics.
Sex beside a waterwheel,
Drivers questioning their deal.
Police don't mind some public screwing,
But they frown on laser shooting.

I'm sure there's a lot more that would fit.

Only 90s kids will remember that episode of Pokémon where Ash faced down Team Sex Pig by the water wheel. (It only aired once because the green laser effect gave some kid a seizure but my uncle at Nintendo had a copy on VHS.)

Ozzy Osborne:
Drivers gathered in large masses,
Watching gyrating white asses.
Evil pig masks for seduction,
King and Queen plan reproduction.
On the wheel their bodies yearning,
As the water machine keeps turning.
Death to Pokemon-type kinds,
Wand’ring ‘round with brainwashed minds.
Oh lord yeah!

Tom Jones (chorus):
Sex pig, sex pig, you're a sex pig
You can give it to me on a water wheel rig
Sex pig, sex pig, you're my sex pig
And, baby, you can taze those kids

"And their waterwheel sex could be considered sexual harassment if anyone took offence, he added. "

emphasis mine. That's so metal progressive.

" Traffic backed up on the highway as some drivers slowed down and others clambered out of their cars to behold the bizarre spectacle, one motorist told the paper.

The police didn’t care so much about the traffic jam, she said

So this has nothing to do with people wearing pig masks having sex on water wheels, but my 11 year old son has been saying 'pineapple' a lot since he saw 'Minions' and he likes Pokemon Go, so every time he's said pineapple recently I've been saying 'oh go and poke a mango' and he only just got it like two days ago and now he hates me.
