A Royal Insult

Morocco -- An 18-year-old karate champion -- and obvious FC Barcelona soccer fan -- has received a one year suspended prison sentence for writing "God, Homeland and Barca" on a classroom chalkboard, according to iht.com.

The motto of Morocco is "God, Homeland and the King", and authorities ruled that the scribbling showed "disrespect to the kingdom's national motto". The youngster now fears that the sentence could seriously affect his professional future as well as his sports career.

Oh dear, another serious crime has been committed...
