The two things Pittsburgh is best known for at this moment:
1. Ben Roethlisberger exploits the motorcycle helmet law, crashes his motorcycle but is (thankfully) in stable condition following surgery.
2. These guys...THESE GUYS?!?!?! "PNH can be seen at various Wal-Mart locations in the area..."
Sigh. Get me a chipped ham sammy and some consolation, immediately.

Ah...Pittsburgh proud, eh? It seems that the Steelers' motorcyle idiocy isn't limited to the Quartback position:

As for the Povertyneckhillbillies, that sure is a nice band photo...is Pauly Shore fronting this band?
What a collection of degenerates. The photo itself seems ripe for www.rockandrollconfidential.com don't you think?
-brick wall, check. -disturbing depth of field, check. -some members staring off into space as if inquiring: "do you think my biceps look bigger in this tight t-shirt?", check.

It should also be noted that while Big Ben didn't break the law by leaving his helmet at home...he was in violation of the law because he had no motorcycle operator's license and his learner's permit had expired. So, technically, there are some legal ramifications he should have to deal with. The true test of his idiocy is yet to come, though...will he get back on a crotch rocket any time soon. Crotch Rocketeers = Organ Donors.

Roethlisbonehead. Full-face helmets, all the time! The wind in your hair can soon turn to the asphalt in your teeth.
