He’s the tourist guy from the fake WTC photo. And the Hindenburg disaster, and the Kennedy assassination, and the Titanic sinking, and the aftermath of Hiroshima, and any other photo that people with Photoshop can alter.
Bryan,
Can I just say that I’ve been laughing my ass off for at least 5 minutes with no sign of stopping over this:
DAMN that’s some funny stuff.

I don’t watch Cops much, because at times bad things happen to decent people, and that’s depressing. But MaxEx and Police Videos are fair game, because for the most part they’re when bad things happening to morons, and that’s funny.
I must agree with GregAtlanta though - around here, we call the police video show “Fox Sound Effect Theatre” because off all the hopeless dubbing they throw in. I especially love when they show a slo-mo during a chase scene, but the “tire squealing” sound is lengthened without changing pitch.
I am constantly amazed at the restraint shown by cops after a lengthy, near-deadly chase. If I was involved in one of these, I would more than tempted to turn off the camera, drag the asshole out of the car, and beat the living crap out him until my night stick splintered.
Thankfully, I am not a cop. I do not envy these guys and gals their jobs.
OK, I’m going to hate myself for saying this, but what is “tossing the salad”?
I love WWPD; my only complaint is that they don’t often show the cops actually arresting the perp. Usually you see a brief glimpse of them leading the perp toward the squad car, but you never actually see them subduing him/her. That’s why I like COPS; you get to see the cop open up a can of whoop-ass. It’s particularly fun when the perp tries to fight back :D.
Eating someones bung hole! :eek:
Unbelievably, Sex in the City actually had a scene about ‘tossing a salad’ with Miranda! A guy did it to her (she wasn’t expecting it), but she wouldn’t do it to him. “Ok, ok, I just can’t do it! I’m sorry! I just can’t” LOL!!
I love it when someone’s car or person gets searched and no matter what is found it’s never theirs.
There was one a few weeks ago where the cop found a baggie of pot down the front of some guy’s pants. The guy looked at it like he was shocked and insisted it was not his. :rolleyes:
My favorite moment from these shows was when a cop pulled over some white-trashy guy (please pardon the term) and was interogating him when they got to this point…
Cop: Planning on smoking any marijuana tonight?
Dumb guy: Uhh, no.
Cop: You want to know how I know you’re lying?
Dumb guy: Uhh, yeah.
Cop: You’ve got a joint behind your ear.
And the guy really did! At that point he sorta went, “Uhh huh, you got me.”
Did anyone else see this? Quite funny.
(I noticed that ominpresent helicopter voice guy, too. That always bugged me.)
Yeah I was rolling on the floor. What an idiot!
A Third on Maximum Exposure. My favorites are when people are pulling assinine stunts and get exatcly what you just know is going to happen. Did anyone see teh one where a guy on a skate board fell and his arm did this really freaky break in several places. Brr… That seen still haunts me.
My all time favorite COPS episode shows this policemen looking at this smoke coming from a house. He starts wailing on the door and ringing the bell and gets no answer. As he finally breaks a window this old lady opens the door. The cop starts yelling there’s a fire. Meanwhile his partner is laughing pointing at the next house, which is the one actually on fire.
Gorgon, to quote Sam And Max, “Let’s look at the people we’re glad we’re not.”
We like crooks getting hit with a pan or being beat up, because it is usually them in the position of power and not the victim. They are getting their just desserts.
