LOS ANGELES — A man wearing only boxer shorts, socks and high-top sneakers shut down all southbound lanes of the 110 Freeway in downtown Los Angeles after scaling an exit sign on Wednesday morning.

The man was seen dancing, using a vaporizer pen, shouting into a bullhorn and unfurling several political signs, the Los Angeles Times reports.

He eventually got down by performing a backflip, landing on a massive inflatable cushion placed below him by firefighters.

Now THAT'S entertainment!

Is he related to the guy who jumped the fence at the Atlanta airport and, only in his underwear, jumped up on the wing of an airliner?

The man suspended banners, one about fighting pollution, after climbing onto the sign over State Route 110 during the Wednesday morning rush hour.

Now that's a novel way to fight pollution, force all the cars on a busy Los Angeles highway to idle while you shut it down.

Is he related to the guy who jumped the fence at the Atlanta airport and, only in his underwear, jumped up on the wing of an airliner?

I figured the guy in Atlanta managed to knock at least TWO items off of his bucket list yesterday.

The two stories are very similar which makes me think that’s no coincidence.

My guess is some form of underground guerilla marketing and we’ll see another one of these stories

Excellent exit he Made!

If you are going to get arrested, do it like a boss.

The backflip part of the story was pretty funny. :-)

My mother bought a new car last year. She complains the motor shutting in cases like that. Traffic lights, stop and go traffic, etc.

Being LA in the Summer, the A/C would trip the motor back on, though, so your point is still valid.

…unfurling several political signs,

Of the leftward persuasion, no doubt...

A man wearing only boxer shorts, socks and high-top sneakers shut down all southbound lanes ... (of the Freeway) ... after scaling a sign...

Keepin' it real, yo. I wonder if he'll incorporate this event into his lyrics, perhaps after a rehab stint.
