Darwin Olympics: A Road Rage Incident Involving a Cupcake to the Face

Here’s where Situational Comedy television shows fail us — what may be funny in a sitcom doesn’t translate IRL (in real life).

Over the Spring, a woman was driving down a Pauls Valley, Oklahoma road when another vehicle passed her on the shoulder and with the driver allegedly giving her a thumbs up with the wrong finger.

Well, the woman’s passenger, Trevor Pearson (31), was NOT having it . . . and when they caught up to the other car again, he threw a CUPCAKE at rude dude driver . . . and it HIT THE GUY IN THE FACE!!

It’s not clear if the car was a convertible or the window was down or what, but what makes Trevor’s throw so impressive was that all of this happened while both cars were still in motion driving down the road!!

This is the type of comedy gold our favorite sitcoms survive on . . . but IRL, it’s assault!

Trevor was just formally charged with a misdemeanor count of assault and battery and is looking at a $1,000 fine and up to 90 days in jail.
