back to article NZ gal's Bulgarian airbags halt traffic

A New Zealand teenager whose mates dared her to flash her chesticles at passing motorists brought traffic to a standstill when an appreciative driver ran her over, the Southland Times reports.

    brains out, jubblies in...

    A brain removal pre-op seems to be standard for breast enhancement patients these days.

    Am i the only one who would have sued her for damage to my car and personal trauma (unless she was some kind of model).

      I agree...

      Though if she is a model there's always the 'out-of-court settlement' option... well, if she's fit....

    What a cracker...

    “Cracking the windscreen”

    Is that some sort of euphemism?

    Did Ms Dudfield suffer an additional unreported wardrobe malfunction?

    Joke

    What exactly did she crack the windscreen with?

    Resisting the temptation to make some totally inappropriate comment about hardness of her bits, usually in my experience as a medic, the windscreen is cracked by "a bit of head".

    Otherwise it all seems a bit difficult to swallow really.

    Jubtastic possibly - but no Bulgarian airbags

    C'mon Lester - have you been at the sauce early today??

    As this is clearly a story of international significance to those of us in the IT professions I took it upon myself to...erm...uncover the particulars of this story: it would appear that the pair of "traffic cones" in question were 100% natural. And all the better for that IMHO.

      So you mean you think it's the frozen silicone bags that broke the windscreen? That is scary.

    That article is great!

    I love new zealanders - the policeman is obviously trying not to split himself laughing, yer one seems to be to be a bit embarrassed and they had her pretend to flash about 10 times.

      And they labeled her "reformed flasher" and had her (pretend to?) flash the cows too.

    Pardon my ignorance, but why are they called BULGARIAN airbags. Surely they were made in New Zealand

      Clearly, there was a reaction ...

      Their jaws dropped ... they were thinking "Holy crap! Does she call THAT an udder? Why is it bifurcated, why is it mounted entirely too close to her neck, and where are the other two teats?"

      I'm always appalled at the lack of understanding when it comes to animal behavior, despite the fact that humans have been domesticating animals for tens of centuries ...

    Sorry guys, this was reported on the TV last night over here, and you really should not be asking for pics. Have a look at http://www.3news.co.nz/Motorist-distracted-by-a-fine-pair/tabid/423/articleID/134283/Default.aspx

      Her face also belonged to her, not a model in a stock image....

      I can't make my mind up if the pic is gratuitous or not...

    Wow, my home town mentioned in The Register. What is the world coming to?!

    Thanks for the enlightenment!

    You learn something new every day. I shall henceforth refer to chesticles, bazookahs, norks, knockers as bulgarian air-bags.

    In Paris's case they are more like tea-bags.

    Surely the overriding rule of driving (on the LHS of the road) is that if anything is in front of you STOP!
