X-Men Origins:
Wolverine leaked on
internet
On Tuesday, March 31, an
unedited and effect-less
digital copy of 20th
Century Fox's latest comic
book film was stolen and
leaked onto the web.
According to the FBl's
investigation, the file had
been downloaded over
10,000 times. Although the
first site that the video file
was posted on has been
shut down by authorities,
the film has already spread
to hundreds of different
websites making the file's
removal virtually impossi
ble. The only silver lining
to the situation is that sev
eral film critics have
already gotten a copy of
the new movie. Most are
impressed with it, despite
it's lack of special effects
and editing.

Kidnapped from
Cleveland
Neighborhood
In the course of the last six
years, three teenage girls
have been kidnapped from
the same neighborhood.
Although both Cleveland
office FBI agents and
police detectives have sift

leads looking for a com

missing girls have ever
been found since their dis
appearance. It left most
investigators disheartened.
All three girls were taken
on their way home from
their jobs and school. The
first was reported missing
in 2003 at the age of 16. In
2004, a 14 year old was last
seen at a pay phone. The
