All Aboard the Meme Express – Monday, January 25, 2010
Police tracked down an alleged car crook in Polk County, Florida (near Orlando), according to a recent report in the Orlando Sentinel. The man had apparently stolen a 1998 Dodge Durango from a WalMart parking lot. The cops found the man sitting on the couch in a friend’s living room playing a video game.
Guess what video game he was playing:
Guess what video game he was playing:
Grand Theft Auto.
The man had recently been released on bail, having been charged with multiple counts of
Grand Theft Auto.
And the police then charged him with
Grand Theft Auto.
Does anyone see a pattern here?
