In Australia, the fire fighters would have been pissing themselves laughing and giving him shit before deciding to rescue him!

Well..... they don't let us have cool stuff like that here, that's why.

Actually, I don't think it would pass here, or Britain for that matter. Groovy Europeans.
Sculpture like that and a teenage boy, what could possibly go wrong? [laugh]

I can think back to school buddies who would have been caught in a much more compromising position. "We got a bleeder!" [laugh]

Honestly, what's up with the headline?
Really, 22 firefighters to get the guy out?
Methinks the reporter is using 'new math'.

I'm shocked that this seems to be the first such incident.
That sculpture has been there for 13 years and nothing has happened before?

"Allegory and irony" wasn't that a song by Paul Mcartney and Stevie Wonder?

Oh, well played. Outstanding!  [beer]

Statistically, it just seems impossible that the sculpture has avoided an incident for so long.

I was an American Teenager once, and really quite well behaved for the most part.
But in many ways a teenager is a teenager despite any cultural or generational differences.
That sculpture presents such an overwhelming temptation to misbehave.

And his 'friends' took pictures to post on the internet?
No need for enemies then.
But I can see the 'friends' succumbing to the temptation, FFS I'd take a picture.
I'd not post it up for the world to see, at least.

The firemen could have had more humour, I mean it's bloody funny! You would think two or three guys could have lifted him out.

the kid went on to alienate himself from all his friends, because he spoke incessantly of his new-found love of Jesus.

They had a quiet shift and, "hey fellas, we got a call, you gotta see this".

Fixed it for you. 

Also, read that they didn't use the Jaws-of-Life.  Shows the difference between German and French firefighters.

Think about the radio chatter........."Engine 12, this is Engine 22, you ain't going to make the beast with two backsing believe this" "Engine 32, this is Engine 22, you guys gotta  see this".........
I'm surprised there weren't more.
