Throwing food at people: The Australian media made a meal out of an incident when 16-year-old student Kyle Thompson allegedly assaulted Australian PM Julia Gillard with a vegemite sandwich.

Gillard was on a routine photo op at a Brisbane high school when a student, possibly displeased with her policies, hurled his lunch at the leader. Thompson was quickly fingered as the culprit and suspended from school for three weeks. However, Kyle pleaded innocence, insisting he was made a patsy while the true assailant remained at large.

Kyle claimed that another student hurled one sandwich the prime minister's way and that he lept into action to gallantly block a second. And so Kyle earned his 15 minutes of unwanted Internet fame. As the media buffoonery unfolded, the true culprit claimed responsibility for launching a chicken sandwich.
