Every week ANDPOP columnist Kelly Burns narrows down the most bizarre stories of the week. They’re not exactly newsworthy but just weird enough to grab our attention. This week, San Francisco offers awesome Jedi classes and a dude busted for marijuana shows us why logic is a valuable skill.
The Dark Knight rises is arrested
So Matthew Argintar obviously hasn’t seen ANY Batman movies, but dresses up like the hero and freaks the public right out. The 23-year-old, was arrested outside a New Jersey Home Depot, after being spotted dressed up as Batman, and asking people if they needed any help. Hey Matthew! Watch the movies! Batman doesn’t just ask random people if they need help. He knows where the bad guys are and saves those already in distress.. DUH! With the recent Colorado shooting, this is not a funny prank…
Warning: don’t insert in anus
I can’t believe people actually are dumb enough to do this! A man in Australia must have watched Jackass, cause he decided he would stick some fireworks in his buttocks and light them off for kicks. Well, this didn’t end well, for OBVIOUS REASONS! He was treated for burns to his cheeks, back and privates. SMH Do we really need this warning added to firework labels? Warning: Please do not insert in anus.
How to be a Jedi 101
Alright, so this might actually be my dream come true. If you love Star Wars like me and have always wanted to be a Jedi Knight, NOW YOU CAN! In San Francisco, there are lightsaber training classes for adults. The end goal of the class is to reenact the ending scene from The Empire Strikes Back, when Luke and Darth Vader have it out. I think I’m vacationing in San Francisco this Fall.
Drugs are bad mmkay? Read more…
One Piccolo Pete firework on its own isn’t all that exciting. It releases a little bit smoke and a shrill screaming noise that you can lazily skip over. But what do 571 look/sound like? The end of the world, that’s what. This homevideo basically verifies that all a guy needs to celebrate the fourth of July is a tallboy and fireworks, while their wives stand behind the camera and shake their heads in dismay.
This person was at a brewery party that had an amazing view of San Diego’s 2012 Big Bay Boom Firework Show. In anticipation of the 15-minute spectacle, the party turned off the lights and started adjusting their cameras. All of a sudden, ALL THE FIREWORKS went off at once in three apocalyptic-style explosions.
The show accidentally started five minutes early and went off in only 30 seconds due to a technical problem. The radio show they were listening to played the 15 second show, then 20 minutes of music before coming back and admitting “Woops, sorry, that was the show.”
