This just in.

Having spent some time in my youth in Pinelands, it always cuts me deep when I hear bad stories to do with the once sleepy hollow.

I was having a great day today, between working on the movie script and some down time at Caprice – before I received this email and photo which, quite frankly, knocked me for a six.

Spotted at the Pinelands McDonald’s

Hey Seth,

It is with great alarm that I give you this attached picture taken today.

A fresh attack at the McDonald’s in the once sleepy suburb of Pinelands.

Who would have thought?

Can you believe it? Just a day or two after the euphoric announcement (here)that the Old Mutual Head Office in Pinelands had been granted access to 2oceansvibe, we get this..

Not only are these cyclist helmet attacks happening more readily, but the perpetrators seem to be doing it in such an increasingly reckless devil-may-care manner.

No longer reliant on super fast and agile premium brand TREK-type bicycles to escape, the bandits are quite happy to cruise in on a Raleigh Burner circa ’82! Scoffing their faces with Macky Dee fries in a barely plausible “carbo loading” maneuver, while we, the general public are at pains to cover our children’s eyes from the blatantly anti-social and tasteless behaviour.

I am VERY surprised none of the political parties pledged to put a stop to these dining with helmets attacks which seem to spreading like swine flu.
