I came of age in the rural South, and as such, we spent a majority of our free time doing things we probably shouldn’t have. Combine vast open spaces, the new freedom of a driver’s license and a boring Friday night, and inevitably the topic of Cow Tipping comes up. Now, if you’ve never heard of the art of Cow Tipping, allow me to enlighten you. Under the cover of darkness, you sneak up to a slumbering bovine, put your shoulder into the cow’s side and lean. The cow then falls over and hilarity ensues. Now, this may not seem funny on the surface, but when you’re watching a buddy try to run through a dark cow patty mind field in full retreat as the owner of the field empties his shotgun into the sky, you’re hard pressed not to wet yourself. I convey this slice of backwoods culture because bored teens in the Netherlands have taken tipping one step further. Evidently there’s a cow shortage in Amsterdam, so fun-minded folk have moved on to the next best thing – Smart ForTwos. While Smart owners have long lived in fear of seeing their beloved bubbles on their sides, the Dutch have stepped things up considerably. Authorities have had to fish a number of the tiny cars from Amsterdam’s canals after being pushed into the water by Smart-hating vigilantes. Usually I deplore any type of violence against vehicles, but this is just funny. [Source: 0-60]
