The Mad Mark Minute #9
Wanna get a gift for your lover on Valentine’s Day in Iran? Forget about it.
Iran has banned the production of Valentine’s Day gifts and any promotion of the day celebrating romantic love to combat what it sees as a spread of Western culture.
The Feb. 14th celebration named after a Christian saint is not officially banned but hardliners have repeatedly warned about the corruptive spread of Western values. Under Iran’s Islamic law, unmarried couples are not allowed to mingle.
This just in – Iran is in the process of banning Christmas as well.

The Mad Mark Minute #10
The first rule of being a Mountie – Don’t steal the change from the loose change drawer.
A Mountie in Burnaby, B.C., has been charged with theft for allegedly taking loose change from a desk drawer in a community policing office.
The offending officer, Constable Derrick Holdenried, who has been on the force for two years, allegedly took some change on "numerous occasions," RCMP said in a release.
An investigation was launched when another officer reported the missing change in the fall of 2010.
“While the theft does not involve a lot of money, the fact is as police officers we’re in a position of trust, and any breach of that trust is taken very seriously," Sgt. Rob Vermeulen said in a release.
Holdenried, 37, has been suspended from duty. He will appear in Vancouver court Feb. 14.

The Mad Mark Minute #11
When the sign in your vehicle reads Maximum Capacity: 62 passengers, the idea is not to exceed that amount.
Unfortunately, a school bus driver in Johannesburg, South Africa ignored that warning and turned his bus into a literal can of sardines. He crammed 116 students into the bus, nearly double the maximum capacity.
“Traffic authorities saw the vehicle was overloaded and pulled him off the road. He was transferring passengers from school,” Police Captain Bernadine Steyn said of the infraction.
The bus had gotten to the point where there was not even any room to breathe. When the bus arrived at the school, the kids literally had to swim over other kids to get out of the vehicle. The driver is due to appear in court for the offence.
