Scrambler bikes are flying up one-way streets like it’s a video game, and McDonald’s is making announcements about “we do not accept abuse” mid-ice cream order.As if that wasn’t enough, the conversation somehow ends up in America, where 56 fraternity pledges stand covered in ketchup and vodka refusing to move for police.Add in gym delusions, Dwayne “The Rock” comparisons, and a baby shower booking thrown into the madness, and you’ve got another week where the only real question is…How is that even legal?!
