Dave Matthews Band 'dumps sewage on tourists'

[Umma]

US rock group The Dave Matthews Band have been accused of dumping human waste from a bus into a river, dousing a tour boat filled with passengers.

More than 100 people on an architecture tour were showered with foul-smelling sewage in the incident on 8 August.

The driver of a bus leased by the band allegedly emptied the septic tank through a grate in the bridge and into the Chicago River below.

The band are being sued by the state of Illinois for violating state laws.

That was all over the news here! It's one of the open top boats for tourists to get on a view the Chicago skyline as well as take a river tour.

Apparently some of the waste hit people square in the face as they were looking up at the bridge on their tour.

Nasty - the tourists should all get to take a shit on the driver now...

And they should all get complimetary new outfits too...

People from Trinidad believe that it's lucky when you get shit on by a passing bird... it makes sense considering the odds are against it. I wonder what they would think about getting shit and pissed on by the whole DMB. Maybe the people on that boat tour should go out and by themselves a few lotto tickets... because that's some of the luckiest shit I've ever heard.

lmao Shawn! :lol:

Poor people. A sewage pipe in a Jumping Jaks near me burst. Covered the whole dance floor. Lovely. Thankfully I was at a different club that night!

EDIT: I was going to find a story on it, but I can't. It did happen though! :smokin:
