Tired of stories about expenses scandals, ministers quiting the cabinet and the Iraq war…

It seems the BBC are as they posted a story yesterday about ‘the dangers of crowd surfing.’

‘For the uninitiated’, they explain like a patronising, over-zealous health-and-safety executive, ‘crowd surfing is when a person is passed over the heads of others – usually at a music concert or festival.’

Festivals, they probably should have added, are where people drink cider and take magic mushrooms in a field for three days, lose all their friends and miss the bands they bought their ticket to see. A few kicks in the head are pretty much par for the course.

Interestingly their definition seems to suggest that you sometimes get crowd surfing at other events too, maybe a particularly exciting version of Othello. Or that they’re just making up a story out of nothing. ..

Even more interesting stuff...
