And THEN they all got ticketed for driving their cars in the Designated Carpool Lane to Hell.

Sad, really.

AC/DC is still alive and touring?

Well hell's bells.

A Brisbane City Council spokeswoman said 15 minute parking restrictions applied on event days from noon-11pm unless signed.
What!!?

Dirty deeds...

aw heck,they do it different here in st louis.
after they trick you into parking and you leave to go to the event,they come and tow your vehicle. costs way more then 75 bucks and they hold your vehicle hostage till you pay.

A Brisbane City Council spokeswoman said 15 minute parking restrictions applied on event days from noon-11pm unless signed.

I wonder where one is supposed to park on event days? 15 minutes isn't really time to do much of anything.

Not only that, but if the event starts at say... 8pm, the whole day is still an 'even day', right? So if you park at 1pm (for something totally unrelated to the event) you can only park for 15 minutes even though the event doesn't start until 8pm?

Perhaps they were thinking anyone who's going to go to an AC/DC concert is so old they'd be living in a nursing home and the home would provide a dropoff/pickup shuttle for the event just like bingo night.

It's what they do for the money, honey.

Sadly.

Daffydil: Dirty deeds...

It's how they get their kicks.

/hate myself for knowing these lyrics

The police have big balls.

snuff3r: Fail, retard. Read the signs, park legally, it aint that tough. Then again, it is queensland, home of the illiterate.

Right back at you, twatwaffle.

I just love the stupid farks that defend pointless and ridiculous laws because HURP DURP ITS THE LAW FOLLOW IT!!!1

DIAF.

mycathatesyou: AC/DC is still alive and touring?

It is to my understanding that they're back in black.

More to the point, they're back in the back of a Cadillac.

To elucidate further, they're #1 with a bullet... one might even go so far as to say that they're a "power pack."

CavalierEternal: Nobody ever accused AC/DC fans of being the best and the brightest. A large chunk of them are the same folks who pay $50 to watch the WWE on Pay-Per-View, after all.

I saw a kid in my neighborhood the other day, couldn't have been more than 9, wearing an AC/DC shirt... while listening to some cat-strangling R&B stuff on his iPod. I wanted to yank the kid's earbuds out and ask him, "Do you even know what the fark AC/DC _is_?"

I bet they were laughing and giggling about going through a whole book of cites in one day. Stupid meter maids, pissed off at the world because they could not be real cops.

AbbeySomeone: and they're done dirt cheap!

19k isn't cheap, Brisbane is some kind of vip ho.

Once in pgh I parked underneath a billboard that was under which the minivan was just able to fit. everyone else that parked on the side of the road in little patches of gravel & dirt got towed.

If you want parking violations, you got it.

//got nothin'

FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK! WE uhm, ticket you?

That can't be right?

wow. people still pay to see ac/dc? it's not like they're gonna hear anything new.

Whoa. Dude that was amazingly funny. You have a very sharp wit and you are also very original.


/zomg still laughing at that one

FTFA: "I drove up to an officer and said 'where do I park?'," Mr Roach said.

"He pointed up the street and said 'anywhere you can find a space'."

I love how the officer points him to the restricted parking spaces when it's pretty clear that anyone looking for a spot at sometime close to gate opening is looking for parking for several hours. "Sure, park in the restricted parking. My buddies are already counting your citation fees in their next Christmas bonus."

"I didn't think parking officers worked past 6pm. They must have decided to make a special effort."

Yes, they should have found legal spots but that is definitely a shakedown.

usually, if you notice someone parking illegally (across a driveway, near a fire pump, etc) where i live, you have to BEG an officer to come down and tow/ticket. 90% of the time you get the brush off.

The only place they are active are along the commercial strip during daytime hours. beyond that, its do as you please.


Its NOT about enforcing the law. its about returning the biggest fines with smallest effort.

They wont put in effort for one car, but they will for 10.

LemSkroob: "I didn't think parking officers worked past 6pm. They must have decided to make a special effort."


Yes, YOU!


Cited me ALL!

NIGHT!

LONG!

I'm pretty sure that's entrapment. And I mean that in the real sense of entrapment, not "the cops set a trap for me, so that's entrapment" sense.

Seriously? I totally missed it. I guess I just burned out on ACDC sometime in the late 80's. You can only listen to problem child so many times before it get monotonous. Plus, I can't stand watching that Angus dude rocking back and forth anymore. Don't know why I thought it was cool back then.

Oy! Oy!

I see the majority of Farkers are too sophisticated for the beautiful dumb thrills of AC/DC. Crikey. What do you people do for laughs, read Kierkegaard to your cats?

Read that as "Anus".

THIS!! i saw them in '88...awesome show. but i haven't been able listen to them since. ac/dc. overplayed since what, 1973? enough.

Scott the Twat: I see the majority of Farkers are too sophisticated for the beautiful dumb thrills of AC/DC. Crikey. What do you people do for laughs, read Kierkegaard to your cats?

I prefer Momus, Voltaire and GWAR.

Back in Black is one of the best written rock records ever IMHO. Simple, yet perfect.

/ducks

the last thing i do around a cop is roll my window down. especially on my way to a concert.

I guess you could say the cops shook them (down) all night long.

At my college graduation (held on a weekend), all of the parking meters in the area held two hours worth of change. The graduation ceremony lasted three hours...

Better than a Metallica concert where you end up kidnapped and your skeleton is found in a farmer's field.

In other news, cops are dicks all over the world.
