Local spotted making a fool of himself in Barcelona!

Barcelona, Spain (AP) -- (March 2008) Across Barcelona citizens took to the streets in frantic protestation of the presence of Caleb Winship and his acts of destruction throughout the city, primarily at MACBA (museum animals cars boogers apples). Barcelona, known for its untimely glassware and its powerful soccer team (FC Barcelona) was quick to respond to this devastating event. The district's firefighters were on site to wash off Winship's dandruff moments following his attempted heelflip at the big 4. The city's growing appeal with skateboarders from around the globe has shot the tourism industry through the roof, yet Winship's visit has proven a big deficit in glassware earnings. Kayla (Ryan Sheckler's ex-girlfriend) was available to comment on the situation shortly after witnessing his midday hose down across the street from the museum, "yes. ive totally never seen anything so gross, yes. If Ryan and I were still together, he probably would've like beat him up or like did a super mcvarial 900 over him or like. yes.". She continued to admit that she has seen worse, "yes. He is ugly, greasy haired and has a hairy mole on his face, but to be like honest Ryan had his last name tatooed on his back to like cover this mole colony, and like if you squint your eyes the moles spell out (i skate with gel in my hair), yes. yes. that was so gross yaa yes." A compilation of user obtained footage from his several sightings throughout the city was uploaded on the popular video sharing website, YouTube.com. This was immediately frowned upon by citizens and officials alike, leading to the removal of the >3 minute video. Fortunately the original creator of the video, Benjamin Loseboat, was able to provide an exclusive copy for (http://www.skatejordan.blogspot.com/) of the makeshift video documenting the mishaps prior to the arrest and deportation. - Ahmad Sahli - Amman, Jordan

Great video, check it out.
Props Ben, great editing man.
