Understated Captioning Effort Of The Day

We read with more than a little amusement this tale of a man taking a car for a “test drive” that lasted for 6200km; there’s nothing we like more than to start the day with a shot of true blue Aussie idiocy.

However, we laughed even harder when we saw the News.com.au efforts to sum up the tale with one witty caption on their front page:

That has to be the most cutting use of the word “unsurprisingly” we’ve seen in some time. But then, what do you expect – turns out the dude nicked the car before the dealer could ride shotgun for the test drive, then took it home, packed himself some clothes and toiletries in a relaxed manner, and then toodled off for Tennant Creek.

Clearly a frontrunner for the next Australian of The Year!
