Born To Be Wild

Have you ever heard of a three year old who just got into a real automobile, started it up, and crashed it into another car nearby? Well now you have. Have you ever heard of this happening not once, but twice?

"Sitting behind the wheel with the car key given to him during filming, his urge to drive overtook him again. 'The father was with the television crew,' said Borken police spokesman Frank Rentmeister. 'The car was in gear and the boy just started up and drove into the car ahead.'"

The part about it that blows me away is that now the police are investigating the father for negligence due to the fact that the incident occurred a second time. Wait. Let me get this straight. The television crews came and wanted to see the child re-enact the incident? They gave the child a key to the car? And everyone stood around and filmed and watched while the incident was re-enacted FOR REAL? And it is totally the father's fault? But not in any way the fault of the film crew that encouraged the whole scenario? And now the dad is going to be investigated? Hold on just a second...

WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?

Okay. I'm back. Aside from that bizarre twist, this is one for the world's funniest home videos.
