I love this story! Once I knew the kid was okay, I started laughing. Okay, I started laughing before I knew the kid was fine; how can you not, with those visuals?
If someone pitched this as a straight non-comedic incident to be inserted into a C.S.I. or ER-type show, before the actual incident took place? They'd be laughed off the lot.

WP, you know Dick Wolfe has added this one to his "ripped from headlines" file.

Katiegirl, that ad brings memories of the time one couldn't get Dr. Pepper in New York. I remember drinking it in the early 60s when they ran the B.C. ads (before Johnny Hart became a Christian evangelizer) and they suggested you should have "the Doctor" at 10 - 2 - 4. But by 1967 it was gone. I remember because it was a big deal I could buy it at Expo 67. Eventually Cadbury or someone bought it and got national distribution. Also interesting that the tag line included "I like it" because back then 7-up's tag line was "You like it, it likes you" which is why their first attempt at diet soda was called "Like."

And yes, I'm truly glad the fellow wasn't hurt, because this is fucking hysterical.
"WP, you know Dick Wolfe has added this one to his "ripped from headlines" file."

Eric, excellent point and this is why I rarely watch two of the "L & O" franchises, sticking with "Criminal Intent" because at least the acting is top notch.

You know, Dr. Pepper has always been available here, but NeHi could only be purchased in a few stores here, when I was a lad.

He looks a hell of a lot calmer than I'd have been after that adventure. That story definitely falls under the category "funny only because it didn't end up in the tragedy it could have been."

Diet Dr. Pepper is one of my reasons for living. That and your blog....; )
