Really?! Are we now celebrating breaking the law. Angle Grinder Man's actions fall into a bit of a gray area, as far as I'm concerned - notice that he doesn't touch boots installed by the police for illegal parking, only private ones. Anyway, a few months ago, we saw a hidden-camera type investigation on BBC-America (IIRC), where there was this fellow in London who had a little off-street parking lot. Apparently, parking is at a premium there, as in many large cities, so during the day, it would fill up with people parking to patronize the local shops. And at some point during the afternoon, he would go out, post a whole bunch of "No Parking" signs all over his little parking lot, boot up cars that didn't belong there, and essentially blackmail drivers to the tune of 50 pounds or so to remove the boot from their cars. Now, if that sort of thing is at all common in London, I'd say Angle Grinder Man is striking a blow for great justice ;)

"isn't that the ELF guy that was arrested?"ELFers are Luddites, if they nick themselves with scissors bought at Goodwill, they murder the device inflicting another insult on them from industrial society.
Not to mention he ain't wearing black Carhartt jeans way too big for him.

I remember a TV show where a macho deprived nerd was the only one a power pill would work on. Alas, it scared those who didn't want super powers and medication in the same sentence. Butit was fun while it lasted:
![](http://www.tvparty.com/spotpix5/mrT.gif)
THE MR. TERRIFIC THEME SONG: A scientist both wise and bold Set out to cure the common cold
Instead he found a power pill
Which he said most certainly will
Change a lamb into a lion
Like an eagle he'll be flyin
Solid steel will be like putty
It'll work on anybody.
Then it was found this power pill Made the strongest men quite ill
So the secret search began
To find the one and only man Who can take this power pill specific
And turn into the most prolific, terrific, Mr. Terrific!
What they found made them squeamish For only Stanley Beamish
A weak and droopy daffodil
Can take this potent power pill
That sent him soaring through the skies
Fighting foes and fighting spies.
When he took the pill specific, He became the most prolific, Hydrolific, MR. TERRIFIC!!!

You would probably like the Damon Wayans (sp?) movie, Blankman. Google "Blankman" and read the general plot.

Too many times, I've needed to access a loading zone for the purpose for which it is intended, but cannot due to some yahoo parking there illegally.So how does some other yahoo this time with a badge, coming along and slapping a boot on the offending vehicle help you get into the loading zone? It would seem to make it harder for him to get out of your way. ;-)

This would be much quieter:

Maybe lighter too:
