Animal House Part Deux: Well, John Belushi performed in perhaps the most memorable food fight in film history, and now four alarm salesmen have tried their hand at it. Unfortunately for them, U.S. Marines aren't as forgiving as the administration at Faber College.

Four men who used expired military IDs to trespass into Camp Pendleton were arrested after a late-night food fight Wednesday that destroyed more than 400 pounds of food.

They claimed they were trying to show how lax security is at the base and planned to give the media a videotape of their exploits, said FBI spokeswoman Jan Caldwell.

The four self-employed alarm salesmen were arraigned yesterday in federal court in San Diego on misdemeanor charges of trespassing, malicious mischief, destruction, theft of government property and using a false military pass. They did not enter pleas.

RIIIIIIIGHT! They wanted to expose lax security. These guys aren't much different than the idiots who try to smuggle knives on airplanes, ostensibly for the same reason. I'm thinking as punishment, the men should be required to undergo Marine Boot Camp and eat combat rations for three months. I'm all for alternative sentencing methods.
