Actor Mickey Rourke was arrested by Miami Beach police and charged with driving under the influence. According to police, Rourke was seen making an illegal U-turn on his Vespa scooter and then weaving across the road.
Mickey. Dude. Let’s chat. You’re Marv in Sin City. You’re Harry in Angel Heart. You grew up in Liberty City. You knocked out 12 straight boxing opponents. You’re a first-tier badass, okay?
That considered, the next time you’re arrested, could you please not be using such a ridiculous conveyance?
And if you can’t be persuaded and persist in such nonsense, why not just get a Segway and hang your balls from the handlebars?

Oh, come on now: Segways are COOL! Maybe not Mickey Rourke cool, but they’re still cool…
And with oil over 100 bucks a barrel, can you blame the guy for riding a Vespa? If the weather could support it, *I’D* have one…
Hey, I understand what you’re saying, but WE’RE not Mickey Rourke!
He could have been on something as pedestrian and basic as a Honda Nighthawk, which gets plenty good gas mileage itself, and it just would have been reported as “on his motorcycle.” Much better, yes?
I need to blog this if he’ll let me. But guess who was pulled over last week? On his BICYCLE.
I feel the need to step in here and defend the Rourkster a little. Maybe the glittery pastel-colored handlebar tassels on his Vespa snagged some tree branches, causing him to swerve uncontrollably.
I agree with Mrs. Chili – Vespa’s are sweet. And if I lived in a twon where you could actually drive one without crazed motorist running me over merging on and off the parkway – I’d own one.
