The John Lennon Bandits

When John Lennon was killed in 1980, he was still hugely popular in Brazil. Lots of mothers named their children after him.

Those John Lennons are all grown up now, and several of them have turned to crime. The full story is here.

I'd like to point out that my son Johnny is also named after him, and hasn't yet committed a crime, so let's not paint every John Lennon-named child with a broad brush. (Excuse me for a moment as I look for some wood to knock)
