[As originally posted onTomopop] Well, this was almost embarassing. Hamza pointed out to me the latest post on Kramez’s blog over atCapcom-Unity, featuring these lovelyOkamidenstatues.

The Daily Hotness: Call the police, baby

Check out everything Destructoid did today The thing that gets me about this video is just how calm everyone involved is. The guy on the hood of the truck is just hanging out hoping someone will call the police for him, the woman in the car is cool with calling the police, and the guy in the truck just keeps on driving like he normally would.
