An Edinburgh woman has been duped into putting her feet in baked beans by a suspected foot fetishist claiming to be raising money for Comic Relief

I cannot find it in my heart to condemn the use of charity telethons as a cover for crime.

Although the woman was not assaulted and agreed to take part, officers are keen to trace the person responsible - who may have a foot fetish, police said.

You can be arrested for having a foot fetish???

they should arrest the woman too while they're at it, people that stupid shouldnt be allowed access to baked beans anyway

in the guardian the police said this was "sinister"!!

if i say that i really don't think it is, will this turn into the new "shouting at ppl from cars" thread?

perhaps they meant the other kind of sinister

there's a whole King of the Hill episode devoted to this kind of treachery. Fiends.

do belle and sebastian fans normally do this kind of thing?

I had to leave the list cause it was getting out of hand.

also, your country's gone a little "sexual deviancy" mad hasnt it?

I'd like to know what the police would charge the perpetrator with, exactly. Assault with a dangerous bean?

actually it doesn't say "sinister" in the guardian, i must have been thinking of "alarming"

I'll go with "haunting," I can really get with "haunting" in this context

There's a guy in Florida who's made a minor career out of faking being choked in order to pick up women. Police say they can't do anything about it legally. Maybe they should learn from our English brothers and sisters how to put a stop to this DEVIANCY.

Jesus that's the 2nd time in as many days that I've pressed the 'submit' button prematurely!

Poor old Roger Daltrey on the cov of 'The Who Sell Out', is what I meant to post.

"also, your country's gone a little "sexual deviancy" mad hasnt it?"

Only 'a little'? In most WASP countries that would represent quite an improvement from previously being 'completely sexual deviancy mad'.

It's a shame none of the news reports about the beans incident mention where it happened exactly. I feel like going round, pointing and laughing.

(yes, I know, it would be too CRUEL. I wouldn't really.)

(but I'm still curious)
