Comment RSSHow To Be Uncool: Just Like Keifer Sutherland
4.10.07 # 10:09 # Current Affairs # 3 CommentsA man in Martinsburg, West Virginia attempted to outrun police when he was accused of drunk driving. Unfortunately, his vehicle was not fast enough. The police, on foot, quickly caught up to the man fleeing on his riding mower. He was taken into custody after he refused to take a sobriety test and the police found a case of beer strapped to the front of the mower. Michael Ginevan, 39, was charged with fleeing while driving under the influence and obstructing an officer.
Personally I blame the Hollywood celebrities for this sort of thing. Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie and Lindsey Lohan have shown us that you can get away with only a couple of hours of jail time. And Keifer Sutherland is an even worse example. His "24" character, Jack Bauer, is the epitome of cool. Young people see him driving drunk and they think doing the same thing will make them cool (we all know how impressionable young people are these days). Well, I don’t think it’s cool at all. After a night out at The Redneck Bar & Grill when I’ve had a few too many Blue Beaver Beers, I never drive. I always ride my bicycle home; and I’ve only ever hit three pedestrians.

What is Jack Bauer doing driving around drunk? He’s supposed to be saving the world.
Yeah this is worse than the time that he was photographed sitting around in a bar with his pants down. Yick.
Well, you know he did have a REALLY long day, so I suppose he was just unwinding and things just got a bit out of control.
