Anybody who witnessed the bottle fight in 2006 will know that those things can be quite amusing, if you're into that. But somebody always takes it too far don't they...

This one happened to be 'Superman'. Aptly named for his Superman T-shirt, who took it upon himself to be 'the hilarious character' by throwing bottles full of water from the top of a hill some 30ft foot below onto unsuspecting passers by. This would have been funny, if the other people were in on the fun, but as it turns out, many were unimpressed when a 2 litre bottle full of water unexpectedly landed on their heads. Something I imagine to be an unwelcome shock, and quite painful.

As the shenannigans progressed, people became more and more upset with the proceedings, when eventually in what can only be described as a monumental misjudgment of the situation, Superman upped the ante by throwing a 5 litre bottle, full to the brim with water below.

Right.

Onto.

Someone's.

Head.

I've never seen a crowd of metal fans go silent before, but it is almost as deafening as being at the front for Metallica (who played a fucking amazing set later on, if you're interested....).

Enough was, evidently, enough. Two fellows made their way up the hill, and... Well it looked like they were going to shake his hand...!

They couldn't be congratulating him could they?

They are, they're shaking his ha... Oh, no. Nope, It was all a clever ruse, and Superman fell for it.

Watching two people beat superman in a cloud of dust, whilst a crowd cheered was a surreal experience, although I think the irony may have been lost on the misguided fool at that point....

I've heard about that guy.
What a wanker. A good shoeing was entirely justified.

my brother was there and told me about superman. I asked him what security did - not a lot was the answer.
