Easy come, easy go, huh, Vader?
Yesterday, the galaxy rejoiced when news broke that French fast food chain Quick would roll out a Sith-themed burger (complete with a bun as black as a Dark Jedi's soul!) in February. Today, however, the faithful Empire mourns as news that Darth Vader was tasered and pepper-sprayed in Orlando, Florida, reaches the ears of citizens everywhere. Now, if you're a loyal Imperial, you're probably asking yourself: "What was the Sith Lord doing in Orlando, Florida?" A legitimate question, and one with an easy answer: Vader hasn't had a chance to check out the Wizarding World of Harry Potter yet, and he wants to make sure the wizard tykes aren't a threat to the Empire. No bigs.
OK, OK, so it wasn't actually Vader himself--it was Orlando's Michael Cole, 28, who was walking around, and eventually lying in the middle of, the road at 2:45 a.m. (He was also wearing his Darth Vader mask, but although that's relevant to us, it's really not that important to the story.) Officers told Cole to get out of the road, so he cursed them out and went prone, then punched and kicked them when they approached. Cue the Taser! The officers tried to use the device to subdue Cole, but his thick jacket prevented it from working, so they ended up using pepper spray.
It's not good to hear that anybody got drunk, tried to beat the cops, and then earned a dose of pepper spray for his trouble. Still, if it has to happen, it's at least nice when it has a geeky spin. I hope this guy recovers his mask!
