2012 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A guy member of a squatter communist group, was protesting among others against the police and the Italian government as they don't like progress and they don't want a new high speed train to go through the area (they call themselves No-TAV, no High Speed Train). During one of this protest, he climbed on a high voltage pylon. While climbing, he was on the phone with a radio, claiming "i just made it under the nose of those stupid policemen, I'm climbing here and did it again". After a few seconds, he decided to dismiss the fact the sign on the pylon was indicating a mortal danger and also the fact that the stupid policemen were shouting to come down... he got electrocuted and fell to the ground in a coma. At 37, no kids, he leaves some communist era nostalgic mourning for him and many of us laughing for the immense length of stupidity you can go to prove you're an idiot.

Thanks, Benito, THIS is the write-up I was looking for! Darwin should appreciate the fact that he got the big jolt after thumbing his nose at the "stupid" policemen who were trying to protect him! I suppose his final interview should be on YouTube any time now...!
