I’m not sure what it is about that dark clad garb, face tattoos, and the little pointy horns but it seems to be drawing out some supporters from the evil villain community. Well, the intelligence challenged evil villain community anyway. Yesterday in Salt Lake City some Darth Maul wanna-be killed a corrections officer and led a police pursuit around town until he was taken down by some old man at an Arbys restaurant. I say Darth Maul wanna-be because at first glance the guy looks like he started to do the DM impression but got sidetracked and just started doodling all over his face like teenagers do on their school notebooks… except that the doodling wasn’t very good. I can only guess that his original intention was to make himself look intimidating – you know, like Darth Maul – but it ended up looking kind of like he’d stuck his face through one of those pie tin booths and got hit with a plate of ink instead.
I wonder if this is the start of some new evil villain fad… will the next freak to escape and be apprehended by the elderly have Joker tattoos? You know one thing that I would love to see is an Incredible Hulk wanna-be! Yeah, some guy with his entire body tattooed green trying to make a fierce looking face while doing his villainous deeds. Hahaha! Man, I think it’s time to open a new category for the Darwin awards this year.
