Iron Mike Rides Segway

Iron Mike; Photo - APDoes someone have a photo of this: Mike Tyson was spotting riding a Segway Human Transporter in Miami Beach by an NBC producer, as reported by Lloyd Grove. A small crowd surrounded the bipolar boxer and when someone asked if he was Mike Tyson, he replied in his famously high voice, "Nah - people say I look like him, but I'm not." A Segway spokeswoman tells Grove, "Some people have questioned the safety of our product, but at least it doesn't bite back." The NBC producer apparently took pictures, so if anyone has seen them, let us know or, better yet, send them to us, because that'd be a nice middle-of-the-work day chuckle.

So...we're supposed to believe that this in fact was not Mike Tyson, but a look-alike with the exact same scary, frat-rapist face tattoo?

Exactly. Mike Tyson and his crew want you to know, if he looks like Mike Tyson, talks like Mike Tyson, and acts like Mike Tyson, it's not Mike Tyson.

Where does Gothamist get it's article pictures from? They're pretty good, not of the normal images.google.com variety.

Anyway, I met Iron Mike at a strip club bathroom in Las Vegas. He seemed like a really nice guy, a people person. Even asked us if we were from Long Island. But I'm not still sure what's funnier, Tyson on a Segway or 'Chicken Legs' Bush on one.

what I've always found most interesting about bloggers is how what they choose to post so accurately reflects their sociological perspectives and pop culture predilections. jen, I don't think we've ever heard, where are you originally from?

I was born and grew up in Jersey. The rest is history.
