Behold the official policy for destroying the head of Chuck E Cheese

Britain and America are, as William Gibson has written, a subtle mirror-world reflection of one another. There is a complex language of similarity between these half-separated, half-remerged cultures, and it provides a shared appreciation of difference for all to enjoy. When I emigrated from Britain to America, then, I experienced the many charming embraces and disarming rejections offered by these historical bonds.

But two questions stood out from the very beginning.

First: given that America is so riven by racism that it invites an annihilating bloodbath of justice, why do white people cling mindlessly to the doomed bonds of privilege? Second, what the hell is the deal with Chuck E Cheese?

Dahlke says that destroying Chuck E. is usually done out of sight. In the case of Oak Park, Chuck E.s head was slated to return to a warehouse in Kansas where games and robots are typically shipped following a stores closure. But those employees went rogue and took that outside they should not have been doing that, Dahlke says. He is quick to add that most Chuck E. Cheeses locations dont keep sledgehammers around, and they appeared in Oak Lawn to break down old furniture. Usually, he says, Chuck E.s head isnt bashed in. Instead, stores will slice it in half or otherwise find a way to make sure that its not recognizable.

That feeling when the autobiography of Marion Zimmer Bradley's daughter is only the second-most disturbing thing you read this week.
