Hilarity ensues.

London Mayor Boris Johnson got stuck midair on a zip line Wednesday during a celebration for 2012 Olympic Games.

ITV, the British partner of NBC News, reported that Johnson had to be pulled the remainder of the way by people on the ground. According to The Telegraph newspaper, Johnson was the first person to use the zip line, in Victoria Park, East London. "Get me a rope, get me a ladder," ITV quoted him as saying. "I think the brakes got stuck.”

The Telegraph said witnesses reported that Johnson spent the approximately five minutes suspended in the air waving two British flags and leading the audience in cheering the British Olympic team.

Lulz.

This man should have been born an American. I salute him.

Also this is fucking hilarious.

The only thing that would make this complete would be two Buckingham Palace guards being the only two men present to help but they can't because they're not allowed to move.

Either I made up lies about the Boston Bomber or I fell for someone else's crap. Either way, I have absolutely no credibility and you should never pay any attention to anything I say, no matter what the context. Perm me if I claim to be an insider
I liked Denver's old mayor.

But Boris Johnson is pretty hilarious, he went on Top Gear!

Mitt Romney would have never been stuck on a zipline.

Shove it! Kiss my ass! That's a holy British zipline!

Also, my current mayor.

Personality, imagine Ari (who is based on his brother) from Entourage, but more viscious, and with more swearing.

No, that's not right. I don't think they had Bronies back then.

When they say that Boris was the first person to use the zip line, it almost sounds like he was the first person to test the line.

Rahm is a personal hero of mine. I love a guy who will say, "Fuck you I'm right, now get in line or I'll put you there myself."

Though I'm also a fan of Corey Booker, who I'm pretty sure is a superhero.

Unfortunately I'm stuck with Vincent Gray.... damnit!
