Chile - HecklerSpray

When you live in a place where there's bugger all to do, you yearn for something exciting to come along and kick normality up the arse.

People of Chile, we’re talking about you. After all, what do you normally do to pass the time? Throw rocks at cans or shoot glass bottles? At least Alzheimer?s sufferers get to do the same activity again and again without losing that first time thrill.

Everyone knows and stomachs Metallica. After all, they’re a charming bunch of men who make a loud racket with their instruments. Then, when you illegally download their rubbish studio output, they do a big sulky cry in the corner. But they like to perform live, too. When they brought their live show to Santiago, hundreds of ticketless fans tried to gain access and were promptly sprayed with water cannons. See the video after the jump…

British mayors have the best job in the world – getting paid to wear some Mr T-style bling while women's institute members give you slices of cake? How is that not brilliant?

But Chilean mayors have it even better. Not only do they get the requisite bling/cake combo – we assume – but they also get to try and mow down iconic movie characters in their mayoral 4×4. On purpose.

Don't believe us? Then look at Carlos Lopez, mayor of Baquedano. He's been arrested for driving a car at James Bond star Daniel Craig during a scene as some form of protest. Lopez was either protesting about the heavy-handed nature of the Bond crew during filming or because he just thinks that A Quantum Of Solace is a really, really shitty name. Either way – mad props, you mental South American public official.
