Naked Jesus causes 5 vehicle crash

[Zet]

DARIEN (AP) — Police said a naked man "yelling that he was Jesus" was the catalyst for a five-vehicle accident on northbound Interstate 95 in Darien that injured three people and slowed traffic for nearly six hours Saturday.

Police Sgt. Jeremiah Marron said officers responded to reports that a nude male was causing a disturbance on I-95. As police arrived, the man got into a car, but police were able to pull over the vehicle.

Police say a tractor-trailer driver then slammed on the brakes to avoid another driver distracted by the highway commotion. The big-rig jackknifed, careened into four cars and flipped over.

Rescue workers extricated the driver of the tractor-trailer.

The naked man's name was not released. It was not immediately known if he was charged.

I'm surprised something like this could make the news, but it makes me wonder if the guy was under the influence of any drugs.

Lol. Did they just put that on the news just because he said he was Jesus? Yeesh. xP

Well at least no one died in the crash.

 

[Ineffable~]

I laughed so hard at this I cried . . .
I'd like to shake that man's hand. I bet he really is Jesus. :3

I'm a terrible person. :P

 

[Ho-Oh]

...Only Zet would make a thread about this. XD;

That's just wrong, lol. Um, poor people that got injured though.

 

[Pokeyomom]

Bwhahaha. Don't gaze upon Heysus's holy member, and you won't cause a pile-up. Simple as that.

Um... where is the funny?

Seriously why are people humoured by this? I'm puzzled. It's just a crash, what's so funny about a crash?

 

[Eldrei]

So he is Jesus huh? I hope he can escape prison by using 'his' power!!!

I guess his "holy trinity" was just too much for those people.

Okay that was a terrible joke, but thats funny. At least nobody died and just got a few cuts and bruises.

^ Co-signed. But still, it's all pretty amusing.

 

[Shake]

Only Jesus could cause that much damage. I'm convinced.

It's the 'naked Jesus' part, people who have seen it are probably thinking of this video which is funny by the same following principle (and makes this news post 'funnier' by manner of real-life repetition): Laughable concept X makes serious business Y happen; this is unusual, humans like unusual things, so "hilarity ensues". It's not so much funny as simply natural to laugh because it's such an awkward juxtaposition — the body knows no other response.

Note: Not my opinion, just a (hopefully) objective explanation.

I've often wondered if the Second Coming of Christ has happened already at some point, but everyone thought he was just some nutjob.

 

[Mattysaurus]

No but seriously, I am happy no one was killed. So many The Hangover references came to mind reading that title. Well, mostly the 'naked Jesus' part. xD'

It has happened or so the Mormons say, it could be true, but whatever.

Muhammad and Buddha chickened out at the last minute. Christianity proves it's superiority once again.

 

[Yuukihime]

Hahaha, that article made me laugh. xD I'm tempted to say "Hooray for all them crazy nut jobs who think they're Jesus!" BUT considering a car crashed was involved I know I shouldn't :<
