I would like to thank Australia for taking the spotlight off of American dipshits (temporarily anyway). [http://www.ntnews.com.au/article/2009/01/07/25775\_ntnews.html](http://www.ntnews.com.au/article/2009/01/07/25775_ntnews.html) Unclviny ---

While he is a moron, he is apparently a skilled/very lucky moron. High & masturbating at over 150 kph, and it doesn’t appear that he hit anything. Also, he should be commended for that great photo they have of him. Should get that framed and name it something like “Portrait of a Moron Who Has Just Been Caught”. ---

> [@Headline](#): > > Filmed himself masturbating at 150km/h, now he’s got a stiff sentence Yes, I know the text of the article clarifies what he was doing, but my warped little mind interpreted the headline slightly differently when I first read it. Ouch! Doesn’t it get painful when you do it that fast? :eek: ---

[QUOTE=Ro Carter] Also, he should be commended for that great photo they have of him. Should get that framed and name it something like “Portrait of a Moron Who Has Just Been Caught” [/QUOTE] I came in here to say something similar. It’s just perfect. He _totally_ looks like a dude who would get high and film himself masturbating while speeding. ---

He was a dumbass only because he got busted. Imagine the sheer quantity of dumbass’s out there that have the luck to evade the law. The rest are just biding thier time, doing supremely dumbass shit all the time, just waiting for their turn in the spotlight. Only time will tell. ---

I think that similar things happen on the I290 here in Chicago every single day. It would certainly explain a lot. ---
