We've seen how Mardi Gras is celebrated during Fat Tuesday. However, a Mardi Gras celebration by me would be a LOT different, as illustrated by this 6ABC Action News report from February 2001 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is hard to believe that I still had a copy of this news report after all these years, but now it has resurfaced here on YouTube for your viewing enjoyment.
And if you wanted further proof as to why I am a big fan of the Grand Theft Auto video game series, this YouTube video is one of the reasons why. Enjoy the video, the hilarity, the shootings and killings of the damn po-po's, and the scenes of people getting run over by vehicles. :-)
NOTES:
- My apologies about the quality of this video. Since DVD recorders were not invented at the time this news report took place, I taped this news report on the antiquated VHS.
- The driver of the vehicle who ran over the two pedestrians in the video did not get charged by police or other law enforcement officials.
