Escaping Criminals Get the Rod

These two have got to win some sort of stupidity award. The video shows criminals in New Zealand attempting escape, only to be taken down... by a light post. The two morons on the run were hindered in their escape when they forgot they were handcuffed together. In a Three Stooges like maneuver, the two shimmied left, the shimmied right, only to find themselves caught around the pole. Apparently they don't know their left from their right. After their embarrassing crash they were apprehended by authorities.
