Men in Floating Bouncy Castle Interrupt International Regatta - Neatorama

(YouTube Link)

Three British pranksters, reflecting upon the great seafaring history of their nation, decided to paddle an inflatable bouncy castle across Italy's Lake Garda. They did so during a major international regatta, and brought along a man in a shark costume (just to be prepared). The act was a publicity stunt for a project called Live Every Litre, which hopes to encourage young people to travel.

Everyone has the right to be an immature idiot whose juvenile pranks amuse his friends, but Jackass wannabes interrupting other people's lives to demand attention gets really tiresome.

I agree, Jeffos. This would have been cute if it hadn't disrupted a major international regatta.

Having been one of those people to spend half an hour hiking upwind on a windy day, it sucks when that race is then canceled for whatever the reason may be. Having wasted all that energy and then losing the next race because you are absolutely exhausted is no fun...

"The act was a publicity stunt for a project called Live Every Litre, which hopes to encourage young people to travel."

So you encourage them to travel to do moronic things that really piss off other people? And a big company even sponsors that??? Yep- Jeffos is 10 out of 10 with his remark.

Normally I'm with the grumpy crowd on stunts like this, but come on, it's a freaking sailboat race. A bunch of pretentious asshats driving their silly little boats around the pond like they own it - BFD!

That's not the point. Those pretentious asshats had planned for the day. Interrupting it in this way, even for Live Every Litre, was douchey.

I mean, really, just because someone can afford to participate in an international regatta doesn't mean that they deserve to have their activity interrupted. Besides, having money doesn't make someone a bad person deserving of scorn.

It would have been a lot funnier had it not interrupted an organized event AND had they been jumping inside the bouncy castle....

Vonskippy- I know some of those "pretentious asshats" you speak of and I can tell you that some of them only thrive because they found good sponsors that want to spend cash on their equipment. Beside their equipment some of them still have to sleep and eat at whatever place they can find by practically begging like any other poor broke bum. It looks all hight-tech and fancy, but that is just for the happy winners.

um sailing's the BEST sport in the world!!!!
I don't like these ignorant people saying that only the "rich" play it or that sailors live off sponsors.
It's the dedicated that play the sport.
I know, because it's only been 16 years since I was born, but I've been sailing for half my life.

Anyways. The prank was kind of funny. I just wished they hadn't interrupted an international regatta.
