Cartoon character Homer Simpson was kidnapped in Malaysia. Hollywood offered a reward of $292 for his safe return.

Film studio Twentieth Century Fox announced the bounty after a 1.2-metre statue of Simpson was stolen from a cinema display in a mall in Kuala Lumpur.

It was one of a set of outsize replicas of the family being used to advertise ‘The Simpsons’, a movie spin-off of the US television series that is set for release in Malaysia in July. The kidnapper took the statue and ran towards his car. He booted it in the back of the car and drove through.

“This guy is really dumb, because he must know that in a mall there are lots of surveillance cameras” - said Nor Hayati Yahaya, country manager of the Motion Picture Association that groups major film studios. "We got footage of his car, plate number, his face, everything".
