Today's bit of bizarre youthful rebellion.

Irish authorities are baffled by the mysterious message scrawled on a church wall that reads simply, "The Famicom" in foot-high letters. To answer their question of "what is this 'Famicom'?", the Famicom was of course Nintendo's first console released in Japan, and was released elsewhere in the world as the Nintendo Entertainment System.

Why on earth anyone would want to splash this word across the door of a place of worship is beyond me, but it's worth mentioning that the system just celebrated its 20th anniversary (complete with a particularly ghastly commemorative GBA SP) in Japan.

As with so many things, thanks are due to FARK for the tip.
