Some traffic offenders in Billings, Montana just saved a few bucks on Thanksgiving dinner this year.
Last week, the city’s police department gave out entire frozen turkeys to 20 drivers who were pulled over for minor violations. “The turkeys were handed to, let’s say, someone going over the speed limit a few miles an hour or rolling through a stop sign,” Lieutenant Neil Lawrence told ABC News.
The generous move was spurred by a local businessman donating the birds to the Billings Police Department. Though it’s the first year they’ve handed them out to drivers, the community response has been supportive,...

The reasons for the postponement have been questioned by the Australian Directors Guild and some documentary filmmakers who want the draft guidelines to be implemented.
"It is concerning," Adg executive director Kingston Anderson told If today. "We have been discussing this for the last six months. We think the draft guidelines are a great step forward. We need to know why the process is being delayed." .
Yarra Bank Films' Dr Trevor Graham said, "The draft documentary guidelines composed by Screen Australia were a welcome attempt to address the decline in the one-off documentary in the Oz landscape that resulted from public broadcasters turning their back on them in favour of factual series.
"Screen Australia.s own research acknowledges this decline. And...

Nrma Motoring and Services has launched a campaign that celebrates how the company’s roadside assistance staff can help people get out of embarrassing car-related problems.
The Proclaimer’s hit ‘I’m on my way’ is the music used in the ad, which carries the slogan ‘No one gets you on your way, like Nrma.’
Stw Group agency Lawrence Creative Strategy was behind the campaign.
Lawrence commented: “This line was used many years ago but felt even more relevant today. Too often brands try to keep reinventing themselves rather than stay single minded on what they are truly good at. In Nrma’s case, it was help.”
Bronwyn Shearer, Nrma’s head of brand and acquisition marketing added: “These ads are about what is at the core of everything we do at Nrma. It reminds people about our point of difference compared to other roadside assistance providers.”
