On December 4, a video got uploaded to YouTube. In the video, some students at the University of Illinois have built a snowman in the street in the hopes that a car would run over it. Most drivers swerve around the snowman, but not one bus driver. The bus, a Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District vehicle, crosses the median on the deserted street to run down the snowman. The pranksters cheered, but MTD officials were not pleased. The driver who starred in the viral video “Insane Bus Driver Brutally Murders Snowman” has been fired.
Well, maybe not fired, but probably fired. In official corpspeak, Tom Costello, assistant managing director for the Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District, says the driver is no longer employed by the MTD. Officially, the driver resigned, which means he was pressured to resign by the killer snowman lobby.
It’s sad that people aren’t allowed to have a little fun anymore. The driver isn’t driving dangerously, he’s not stomping on the gas or fish-tailing, he just weaves a little to the left to mangle a snowman. No harm, no foul.
