Ewoks go on a rampage on the ‘Today’ show set

The segment starts off in your usual ‘Today’ show manner with the NBC morning program’s hosts dressed as Star Wars character chatting with a lady from Better Homes & Gardens about fun Halloween ideas.

But keep watching and you will be treated to the following :

• Ewoks throwing things
• Ewoks drinking martinis
• Ewoks fighting each other
• An Ewok very possibly grabbing Meredith Viera’s bottom
• An Ewok dry-humping

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN? The oddest police sketches

Police sketch artists provide an invaluable service in bringing perps to justice. Unfortunately they are handicapped by details (or lack thereof) that the witnesses provide.

And when that happens, we’re left with a rogue’s gallery of the bizarre.

But even such dubious sketches yield results. Remember this drawing? It’s the sketch of a person who fatally shot a woman outside a Target store in Georgia.

Cops made an arrest in the case: it was the woman’s mother in law

With that in mind, bone up on the details of our gallery:

Sketch 1: Man suspected in the gunpoint abduction of a teen in Leadington, Missouri.

Sketch 2: Sketch of man who broke into the home of a newlywed in Victoria, Australia, and stabbed them.

Sketch 3: Computerized image of a man who stole two small safes from a pub in Stalham, Norfolk.

Sketch 4: Sketch and mugshot of a man who squeezed the bottom of a middle-schooler in Naples, Florida.

Sketch 5: Computer sketch of a conman who tricked an elderly widow of her life savings in Wales.

Sketch 6: A robbery suspect in Thailand.

Sketch 7: A post office robbery suspect.

Sketch 8: The bizarre sketch released by police of the person who abducted Madeleine McCann.

Sketch 9: Sketch of a prowler who targeted young women as they slept in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania.

Sketch 10: Bolivian police say that soon after they issued this image,people came forward with information allowing them to make an arrest over the case of a stabbed taxi driver.

“It takes a matter of seconds for a thief to break into your car. All it takes is a hammer, an empty parking lot” …

… and, if the thief’s anything like this reporter,  many many many tries
