Vandals break water fountain

The Midtoon Herald, February 9, 2009

In what has to be categorized as one of the worst acts of vandalism is the last 10 years, an unknown group has destroyed the Liberty Fountain in Central Square.

"This is an outrage," said the Mayor, describing the incident. "we don't know who did this, but I have instructed the police to crush these vandals with all the weight of the law."

Some observers expressed the opinion that the vandals are protesting for the Mayor's early support of the war, but some contend that it is more of an unemployment issue. Recent news that unemployment levels have climbed once again, have much of the population of Midtoon tense and jittery .

"It doesn't matter if you are going through a hard time," said a police officer while carrying a huge roll of yellow tape and a towel. "There are ways to express your opinion or get help that do not involve the defacing of public property."

Sources in City Hall have confirmed that the vandals that destroyed the fountain may be the same ones that painted a moustache on the City Hall's painting of the Mayor last month.  

That was a funny moustache, though...
