[SapperSix]

STOCKHOLM - Police say a Japanese pop star dressed up as a pineapple has been robbed while shooting a music video in southern Sweden.
Police spokesman Bo Paulsson says three young men beat up 41-year-old Hideki Kaji and robbed him of camera equipment as well as about C$3,000 in cash late Saturday.
Paulsson says the pineapple-clad artist had been left alone with the equipment while the camera crew went for a break.
He was left with a cut lip and lost a dental implant.
Police said they had no suspects for the crime Sunday.

No wonder he got robbed. Crime rate in Sweden is like zero.

He tried to muscle in on the Fruit of the Loom Gang's schtick and they gave him a warning.

I would guess that the assailants were immigrant youths from a Muslim country.

don't kids usually beat up on those guys wit the crazy outfits like that?

You are correct. It happened in a town that someone describes as a mix of Fallujah and Mogadishu.

^ Then I am not surprised... Though I am surprised he wasn't beheaded

[Caster13]

I believe he was being sarcastic.

I have no idea why the hell a Japanese pop star would be in Sweden dressed up like a pineapple. Whoever thought of that video was insanely high.

It reminds me of a time when you might be watching a cartoon and see a guy dressed up as a wannabee Chuckie Cheese on the floor, getting kicked mercilessly by a bunch of kids.

I think pop "star" is a bit strong a word here. A 41 year old man dressed like a fruit probably isn't a real chart-topper.

[Bernard_Monsha]

I wonder if he dressed as a Ham if he would have been immune to them robbing him,
