Angle Grinder Man

2003_9_anglegrinderman.jpgSome guy is running around London, wearing a kitschy superhero-esque outfit of baby blue top and leggings, gold underwear, a cape and goggles, sawing off those wheel clamps that the police put on illegally parked cars. And he calls himself, Angle Grinder Man. He has a hotline for people to reach him, offering his clamp-removal services for free, to "all good, decent law-unabiding people." Gothamist is freaked out by the Playgirl style photos on his site (our eyes! our eyes!) but we guess that is par for the course when it comes to dudes who wants to wear a costume while wielding an angle grinder power saw.

New York's got its own pseudo Super Hero in Terrifica.

These two should meet and fight evil together.

oh come on... as if you can't recognize a banksy media ploy from the get-go.

someone should hook him up with the "Underdog Lady".

YOU RULE ANGLE GRINDER MAN. All the best with your Angle grinding super heroness. Giggles. I am making a site devoted to you. http://freewebs.com/anglegrinderman

When he's through with the wheel clamps, I hope he'll turn his talents on the supervillians
