Douchebag challenges Taylor Lautner to push-up contest

Incredibly, that douchebag wasn't Taylor Lautner himself.
If that suicidal Christmas #1 taught me anything, it's that this is a maaad world, and there can be no place madder than California: the US state currently governed by an Austrian bicep with eyes. If you think Britain is broken, the American legal system is fucked in circles - and there are always individuals who try to beat the system. Like this douchebag.
Brent McMahon, the owner of McMahon's RVs deadlership in Irvine California, is currently being sued by Twilight star Taylor Lautner's people, after his RV dressing room didn't show up on time. $40,000 in damages? That seems like a perfectly reasonable amount to pay a millionaire movie star teenager.
McMahon, who I imagine to look exactly like Will Ferrell's car dealer in Eastbound & Down, knew better than accept the letter of the law and pay up. Why admit fallibility when he could save face with a push-up contest! Seriously, that's what he proposed: drop to the asphalt, go mano a mano with me and let's see who's first to drop, hombré. He also offered to give the money to charity, but hey, that's not a funny story.
If only all movie-related lawsuits could be settled in the same manner. MGM could avoid bankruptcy if MGM's CEO could perform 50 chin-ups before Boston's 'More Than A Feeling' finishes. Maybe Peter Jackson and New Line could save millions in court fees if the director could only summon the strength to throw a small oven over a bale of hay.
