Delicious.

Voters in Venezuela were arrested during their recent referendum - but not for failing to vote.

The referendum was to examine whether presidents should be allowed to continue serving for as long as they keep winning elections. The current president will not be allowed to remain in office beyond 2012 if the referendum is overturned.

Voters, unhappy with the current president, decided to protest - by eating their ballot papers. And according to General Jesus Gonzalez, in charge of voting security, "This is an electoral crime."

Hooley Dooley. Imagine what the crime might be if you made a paper aeroplane out of them?!
