Demonstrators close down Big One at Blackpool for three hours

Posted | Contributed by SFGAdv lover

Two fathers' rights protesters dressed as Batman and the Hulk have been arrested after staging a demonstration on a roller coaster ride in Blackpool. Rory Wilmer and Colin Wallace climbed to the top of the 235ft high Big One ride at the Pleasure Beach.

I'll give them style points.
This is from the same group of morons who scaled Buckingham Palace in Batman and Robin costumes. I know they're trying to fight for more custody rights during divorce situations, but what are they going to achieve by making complete fools out of themselves?

Style points? For mixing crappy DC comics with a Marvel character? For shame!
What are they going to achieve? They got their message out all the way across the pond. That ain't half bad for two guys in Halloween costumes.
I can see the judge now.

Trying not to laugh . . .

Mr. Wilmer, Mr. Wallace, you climbed a roller coaster tower in superhero attire and you want more parental rights?

It got attention, but I am not so sure their attorneys would agree it was the right kind of attention.

Phantom-- wahoo hit the nail on the head. They may look like asses (in fact, let's just cut the "may" out of that sentence while we're at it), but they, and therefore their issue, is getting significant press coverage, and in America too. Sure, they compromise their own personal dignity doing it in this way, but if we're talking intelligently about then they're proving the maxim that there's really no such thing as bad press.
Alrighty, I'll give you that much, but what I'm trying to get at is that Britain's legal system isn't going to re-write the books on custody because a group of men are climbing landmarks dressed as super heroes. Their cause may be noble, but perhaps their group would be more effective if the members spent less time in jail and more time making more diplomatic efforts to start a change.
All I have to say is.......did they use like climbing equipment or did they do it bare handed. If it was bare handed I would give them what they want because well thats hard to do. LOL
that is the least unfunny thing I haven't never heard all day.
LOL

Spiderman, Batman, Robin, Hulk, who's next ?

Anyway, the group does get in the media alot. Good or bad, publicity is publicity.
