Boner Candidate #2: THAT’S SOME EXPENSIVE OFF ROADING
Port Stephens, AUSTRALIA — A supercar worth six figures has been left significantly damaged after it became stuck in sand dunes on a beach north of Newcastle, NSW. Vision from the incident shows the dark grey Maserati at a standstill in sand at Anna Bay in Port Stephens on September 30 with a tow cord attached between its front bumper and the rear of another driver’s ute. As the ute begins to accelerate and surged forward, an audible crack was heard and the Maserati’s bumper flies off, snapping into pieces. Bystanders watching the attempt at recovering the vehicle can be heard gasping and swearing as the bumper shatters. The driver of the ute stopped momentarily, seemingly unaware of what had just happened, before slowly driving forward again with the tow cord and bumper bar still connected. It remains unclear why the Maserati was driven onto the sand dunes, but the vehicle has since been towed from the scene and had been declared a write-off.
Boner Candidate #3: HOME GROWN UTAH RACISM #1
(KUTV) — Some racist remarks aimed at a high school student in southern Utah are pushing parents, students and coaches to take action. They’re coming together in an effort to end racism. Kean Webb, a sophomore at Dixie High School in St. George, said as one recent example, a kid in the hallway called him a “cotton picker.” That’s one of them that really bothered me,” he said. “I didn’t even know the kid.” His mother, Michelle Webb, said she was hurt to hear what happened when Kean wore an “I Can’t Breathe” shirt, a reference to George Floyd, whose death energized the current civil rights movement. “He was called a ‘terrorist,’” she said, “and other kids said, ‘Take off the T-shirt, you’re a terrorist’ or ‘you hate police officers.’”
