*** BREAKING NEWS ***
It started with a dirty sign. It ended with a crying child and a move to another part of town.
Reporting live from Ground Zero in Main Ridge from the scene of an angry father letting loose on an unsuspecting child and the aftermath that has ensued since.
It is believed that one Matthew Geoffrey James Peter Paul Mary Taylor has, to quote one witness, 'lost it' over the innocent vandalism of their personalised street sign. Many people who had witnessed the tirade had compared it to Jim Carrey as Hank in Me, Myself and Irene with one person from Sydney also advising that they had heard a 'chick, chick, boom' prior to the police intervening.
Surprising considering that he was previously considered as the future Mayor of Main Ridge!
Police records show that the incident had been reported to police several times with no action and no indication of who the offender was. However, what was apparent is that Mr Taylor's short fuser was getting shorter and shorter by the day.
After putting out heat sensors and bear traps, it eventually came to light that the perpetrator was a little 8 year old child just hellbent on having some country fun.
Soon though, the investigation was underway as to who was the mother of this terrible tyrant and what actions would be done to remedy the situation.
The manhunt continued knowing that they couldn't be too far from home and it was actually the young boys mother that put her hand up and made him apologise to the Taylors (and their street sign, we are still awaiting video footage of this) for the damage that he had caused.
Our sources believe that once the door was opened, a clearly agitated and sleep-deprived Mr Taylor went balistic to the point where the boy was so overwhelmed by it all that he broke down and cried. The sad truth is though, he was deaf. If the boy was deaf, Mr Taylor must have been as green as the hulk to cause the child to cry over what seems to be such a trivial incident.
It should also be noted that as a result of this incident the Taylor's are in the process of removing their priceless sign and moving out of the family home. Let's hope that this doesn't mean that they are going into hiding.
