I can't believe it ...

My ISP's content filter has started blocking JIBJAB.
They must have some real pinheads at the company that runs the filtering service.

Do you know the name of the video?

Some of the Jibjab stuff is available elsewhere ... but I'd obviously need more information to find it.

The car is still running, as can be witnessed by the exhaust.

The driver finally came back after the police were called, and was found crouched behind the rear of the car, attempting to cut the twine around the load! Luckily, the police stopped him and had the load removed.

The materials were loaded at Home Depot. Their store manager said they made the customer sign a waiver.

While the plywood and 2X4's are fairly obvious, what you can't see is the back seat, which contains (are you ready for this?) 10 bags of concrete @ 80 lbs. each.

They estimated the load weight at 3000 lbs. Both back tires exploded, the wheels bent and the rear shocks were driven through the floorboard.

And these people VOTE!

I can't believe somebody tried to put that much stuff in that car. Oh well. Common sense is an uncommon virtue.
