Ever wonder why?

People just waste a lot of time telling other people what's obviously obvious. Here are two hilarious examples:

The other day, the premier of NSW had this to say about the riots in Sydney: "What we see today is the ugly face of racism". When I heard this I just kept on wondering what exactly did he mean. Face it, is there a beautiful face or racism? Thanks for pointing out the obvious mister premier.

The police always say: "[someone] is involved in illegal activities of a criminal nature". Ok, is there an illegal activity that is not of criminal nature? I would love to know that because I will definitely want to commit that illegal act!!
