Today on VSR – It’s all about psychotic telekinetic tires on the big show, today. As the He-Man Movie Watchers break down the movie “Rubber”. Yes, in case you’re wondering, it really is a full-length movie about a killer tire. And in the spirit of an inanimate object becoming a homicidal killer, We’re ticketing inanimate wankers in the Week in Wankery, because things can be wankers too. We’ll take a look and try to decide the weirdest thing going down in Kiev. It’s a full day on Vertically Striped Radio, so here we go.

TAIPEI (AFP) – A Taiwanese court has ordered a runaway bride to pay Tw$250,000 ($8,620) in emotional damage to her groom-to-have-been for not showing up at their wedding, local media reported Friday.
The woman, who was five-months pregnant at the time, failed to show up at the wedding ceremony in November after she and her intended had fought over the number of guests to be invited.
The deeply embarrassed groom decided on a whim to ask the maid of honour to stand in the bride's place to fake a wedding, but ended up falling in love with the understudy and later married her for real.
The groom, who lives in southern Kaohsiung city, was also victorious in court after he was awarded Tw$250,000 in a final verdict, although he had sought Tw$1 million in compensation.
The runaway bride gave birth to their baby earlier this year, which she is raising alone.
CHICAGO – A pregnant suburban Chicago woman was so determined to finish the Illinois bar exam that she completed the test even after going into labor.
The Chicago Tribune reports 29-year-old Elana Nightingale Dawson had started the final portion of the exam last week when the Northwestern Law School graduate went into labor. The exam must be finished to be valid.
Nightingale Dawson says her goal was "to get through the exam as fast as I could and leave" unless anything more serious happened. Her contractions were about 15 minutes apart.
After finishing, she walked with the proctor about one block to a downtown Chicago hospital. The Downers Grove woman's son, Wilson, was delivered by C-section about two hours later.
She'll find out in October if she passed the bar.
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (Reuters) – Police in Idaho Falls have told a man to stop wearing a bunny suit in public after people complained he has been frightening children.
Residents in the northwestern city of 54,000 people reported William Falkingham, 34, occasionally wears a tutu with the bunny suit, police said in a statement on Tuesday.
Police warned Falkingham after a woman said she saw him dressed in the costume, peeking at her young son from behind a tree and pointing his finger like a gun.
While a police report said other residents were "greatly disturbed" by his activities, one neighbor defended Falkingham as eccentric but otherwise harmless.
"He's got the bunny outfit, a cowboy suit and a ballerina dress but you don't see him except where he's tripping through his backyard," Deborah Colson told Reuters. "He's got a strange lifestyle at home but we all do weird things at home."
Falkingham told officers he "enjoys wearing the suit" but understands the concerns and that he could be cited as a public nuisance, police spokeswoman Joelyn Hansen said.
