Wow. There's a headline you don't see everyday.
Not just that. Japanese pineapple robbed. That's extra special...
Maybe they just didn't care for his music...although he must of really had tons and tons of musical talents...having dressed up as a pineapple and all. I wonder if Beethoven or Mozart ever dressed up as plastic fruit to get people turned on to their symphonies ???
What a world.
Why on earth do articles like this even get published?
'Beat to a pulp' HA!
I'll skip wearing my Carman Miranda outfit for a couple of days!
Sloowwwwwwwwww news day??
I hear the Fruit of the Loom guys are gonna retaliate. More news to follow.
Chiquita Banana has offered a reward of 10,000 kronors($1200US)for information leading to the arrest of these fruit thumping bandits.
UPDATE: Police have questioned the California Raisin gang and have ruled them out as suspects.
I thought Sweden was a peacefull place, I guess not. It is pretty sad that A holes like this are out there, and all over the World. No hope for this planet any time soon it looks like. And those guys are probably ones that protest War violence too... And sad that people make jokes and poke fun at someones misfortune...
Dressed like a pineapple? He deserves to be beaten.........
At least we can rule out OJ.
It may have been the Apple Dumpling Gang.
i guess it was a pineapple that just fell off the truck .
He should be thankful he wasn't sliced up and served with the ham.
Breaking News: Police have identified one of the suspects as the "Green Giant" and an accomplice as, "lil' Sprout. This information was obtained by eye witness testimony of one Ernie Elf. Local police would also like to question Snap, Crackle,& Pop as they were also seen in the area prior to the incident in question.
The Apple Dumpling Gang was ruled out as suspects after there alibi was backed up by local night club owner Tucan Sam of the FruitLOOP Club a local alternative life style bar.
tucan sam is a good friend of mine. his club is jumpin'
Little fruit?
beaten to a pulp
Alex.....that's funny.
He should have used the prickly pear costume.
This can't be for real. I bet he was on the Dole.
Bet it was in Malmo, and bet the assailants weren't native Swedes.
I thought there was no crime in Sweden. So much for that falsehood.
This is probably the worst thing that has happened in Sweden for years.
Let's see now. . . . What's happened in the US lately?
7 or 8 cops shot dead in the past two weeks?
Guy kills his five kids then kills himself?
Another guy goes nuts and kills 13 in NY state?
And many many many more?
I rest my case . . . .
Maybe it was sour grapes!!!
It's not even safe to dress up in your best fruit costume today.
He's Japanese,how come he wasn't dressed as a rice ball?
Careful, I think that's culinary profiling. :)
Dis is hilarious! I swear some of this news crap is made up ...
First he had to dress like a pineapple, then he got mugged? his day started out bad and got worse...
For anyone who's a fan of Psyche I think we just found a plot line for next season. HILARIOUS!!
was thinking the same thing lol
So they have demoncrats in Sweden too! Probably thought Obama the world messiah would of approved. Beat the hard working for the poor couch potato syndrome!
Wrong! They were clearly Republicans. They thought he was a little fruity.
would "of" approved?? Is this from the same party that spells "potatoe"?
Now I have heard it all - human pinapple model envy - Either that or those guys were out for a penial gang bang so be glad they took mthe camera and didn't molest you in the attack.
I'm gonna start an organization in honor of this poor individual. There shouldn't be any violence towards Asian Pop Stars dressed in a pineap...... (lmao)....ple outfit! It's just not right!
The name of my organization will be P.A.P.W.B.U.A.P.I.P.O.

It was just the Swedish PETA who thought he was wearing a pineapple skin.
John 385-
Your such a dick.
Happy now...your getting some attention.
I can't stop laughing.
Sounds like he was fruit and deserved a beating......
anybody who does Japanese pop music deserves a good beat down from time to time. He had it coming I heard his music it sucks!
Did they beat him to a pulp?
Could be worse, he could have been dressed as a peanut, and got a-salted....
Too funny!! LMFAO!
What could be more embarrassing that getting beat up by a Swede?
Manlove from a Swede, for starters...
I just used the toilet and left a turd that looks like Chris Brown
You're so wrong. That was Chris Brown.
Awaiting his next album!?
Real headliner. How many GIs died today so this idiot could be a pineapple? Report real news.
Uhhh, NONE.
He's in Sweden not Iraq.
Thanks for playing but next time.
Read the story not the Headlines.
If he's so famous, why is it that no one I know ever heard of him? I asked around and no person in any age group that I asked had ever heard of him.. Maybe just famous in Sweden.
All the people I asked also liked pineapple but not on Pizza.
He's famous in Japan and not in America. Way to go.
Sad.. he's a Sweden lover.
The Swedes wouldn't know tropical fruit from a can of shoe polish. They were probably drunk and confused, as they almost always are in the barren wastelands that we call Scandinavia (part of which comedian John Cleese once referred to as a "pimple on the buttock" of the world...)
So Sweden is a "pimple on the buttock" and San Francisco isn't? Everyone in the US has been programmed to think that america is the best and all the other countries are terrible places to live with absolutely no freedom whatsoever. Typical united states ego, caused by generations of brainwashing at the hands of the schools and the government. "Ha Ha Ha! No one can possibly compare with the united states of america. We're just too awesome and all you other countries suck!" BS! Anyway, I hope those jackasses get caught and I hope they get the pineapple.
Was this a drive-by fruiting ?? This despicable behavior is typical of persons suffering from global warming syndrome. The exteme heat, sunshine and drought conditions world-wide has a direct result on the human mind and this global warming syndrome creates a violent pattern in people !!! Headed by Al Gore and Madonna, the world should set up a committee to determine if a committee to study what effects global warming has on the human phsiological state of being.
LOL NICE!
What the @!$%#ing hell does San Francisco have to do with any of this?!?
Hey JJ7 ---
John Cleese isn't American, so get off your brusied ego and bash the proper country. Maybe if you weren't so "brainwashed at the hands of your schools and government" you MIGHT have known that.
I do agree with you when you say:
Thanks for the complement!
