…des forces de l’ordre complètement dépassées, spectateurs qui se contentent de rappels à la loi et qui ont surtout pour consigne de ne pas déclencher de poursuite pour éviter un drame éventuel…

Personne ne se demande vraiment d’où viennent ces motos et ces quads bardés de stickers. Surtout pas les autorités, plus zélées lorsqu’il s’agit de mettre à l’amende un deux roues et son conducteur bien solvable qui aurait emprunté une voie de bus sur 20 mètres.

It’s hard to find bad food

Don’t leave a mess at the bins and don’t take more than what you can realistically eat /use.

The key feature here is the date: 2008. The Netflix contest folded in 2009.
