Sometimes we’re going to tell you about why our new deputy president comes with plenty of baggage, and sometimes we’re going to look at what those set to travel to Cape Town are hearing about our water crisis.
Life is all about balance, though, so we’re also going to tell you about a story that has nothing going for it other than entertainment value.
We’re in Chongqing, China, and we’re watching a kid catching an elevator. I don’t want to ruin the surprise, so let’s just go straight to the tape before we dissect.
Pay close attention to those buttons:
He knows he has buggered up when the lights go full Poltergeist and start flashing of their own accord.
We now know how this ends, thanks to VICE:
…according to translated stories from several Chinese news outlets the boy was rescued shortly thereafter by a search-and-rescue team. He wasn’t hurt and was trapped only briefly in his piss-soaked shame. The rescuers found the footage afterwards and shared it with the world, as they should.
Instant karma in that he was stuck, and guilt-free enjoyment because he was rescued.
You’ve probably had it with all the cabinet reshuffle talk today, so here’s hoping this kid’s escapades offered some welcome relief.
