Dashcam footage from Russia (where else?) showing hopeful compensation fraudsters doing their (now legally inadmissible) thing.
Warning: contains one or two self-inflicted but fairly harrowing runnings-over.
A man with one leg was accused of being a benefit cheat – because officials had examined the wrong limb. Former lorry driver Robert Punter, 63, was hauled before court and accused of falsely claiming benefits despite having his left leg amputated in January. The confusion over his benefit claims was because he also later suffered a serious toe injury to his right foot.
Mr Punter, from Newton Abbot, Devon, made a full recovery from the toe injury but the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) mistakenly believed he was claiming benefits for it. After worrying about his appearance at Exeter crown court for months, the case was thrown out in less than five minutes after Emily Pitts offered no evidence on behalf of the DWP.

He does a great macerana.

Right so.
Awkward enough all the same.

The investors now suing over the 2009 film Transylmania believe they can make a strong case in describing the horrors.
Forget the fact that of the thousands of films rated for critical consensus by Rotten Tomatoes, less than 10 have a score of “0.” Transylmania is one of them. And never mind the fact that when the film opened on 1007 screens in 2009, it had a per screen average of $262 according to Box Office Mojo, which is said to be the worst performance for any wide release ever recorded.
And the trailer was so promising, too.
