Family Of Electrocuted Man Fined $200!

NEW CASTLE, Delaware (The Adobo Chronicles, Delaware Bureau) – Touching wires in tramways is a no-no, as it could cause electrocution. Nothing could be more clear than the huge notice put up by the Newcastle Tramway Authority.

The NTA warns the riding public that touching wires could cause instant death. It goes further to say that violators will be fined $200.

Well, a man ignored the sign, touched the wires and was instantly electrocuted and killed. So who pays the fine now?

The NTA has filed a lawsuit demanding that the $200 plus daily interest be paid by the next of kin of the decreased man.

Moral of the story: The law haunts you even after death.

ONLY IN THE PHILIPPINES: Motorcycle-riding Human Ad Billboards!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The first thing that tourists to Metro Manila see en route from the airport to their hotel are the giant billboards that line the streets, advertising underwear, cosmetics, subdivisions, memorial parks, liquor, fast food, attention-deficit politicians, and yes, even the Bible.

But leave it to the entrepreneurial skills of the Filipinos, human beings can now be turned into walking or motoring billboards.

Move It, an on-demand booking platform that provides safe, accessible, and affordable motorcycle-taxi rides, has introduced human billboards and invites commercial advertisers to place their ads on the backs of the riders.

With the nightmarish traffic along many thoroughfares in the metropolis, it may well be worth investing in the human ads for maximum exposure!
