Man dressed as a shark fined under new anti-burqa laws in Austria

Lesson of the day: Don't bait the government. As part of an European trend of anti-burqa laws, Austria also has introduced such a law. An Austrian man seems to have decided to test the authorities' will and so he put on a shark suit and started to advertise the opening of a new electronics store called McShark. He was promptly arrested.

Although, the arrest may have been part of a marketing plan, and you might say the law officially jumped the shark.
