It was laughter riot when London Mayor Boris Johnson got stuck on a zip wire and dangled in mid-air during a promotional event for the Olympics, reports news agencies. Watching crowd burst out into laughing while city’s father hung in mid-air on the 1,000-feet-long line!
The 48-year-old mayor, at the height of embarrassment, was reported as shouting, "Get me a rope, get me a ladder!" he hung Wednesday on the 1,000-feet-long line.
Johnson was visiting the BT London Live event in Victoria Park in east London. Wearing a blue safety helmet and waving two Union Jack flags, he had to wait for the organisers to haul him the last 65 feet to the end of the wire.
Tweeters and fb addicts worked overtime and lo and behold, Johnson’s hanging images were all over internet! Worst still, a photo was superimposed onto many different backgrounds.
Some images even showed Johnson hovering above Tom Cruise in "Mission: Impossible", hanging from the hands of Big Ben's clock, flying through the Olympics opening ceremony.
The Sun reported a user as saying that the sight of Johnson was like "a mistreated orangutan forced to perform for paying punters at an Eastern European circus".
Stephen Mangan, actor in TV series "Green Wing", wrote: "Just had a vision of 2019, Boris representing us at G8 Summit as PM, big clown feet, red nose, spinning bow tie, custard pie-ing Merkel.”
