Superman Lets Us Down

Evil Superman: Well I hope you don't expect me to save you, 'cause I don't do that anymore.
Lorelei: Don't worry about me. I'm long past savin'.
- Superman III

You may remember this story from a week or two ago... an 80 year-old woman on her way to take her driving test, smashes her car through the front window of the DMV.

Some called it "ironic." Most agreed she failed the ultimate driving test.

But now we have video from inside the DMV office, which brings us more irony, and evidence that someone else failed as well.

We're not sure why there was a guy dressed as Superman standing outside the DMV that day, but what were the chances that the day he put on the the super hero costume, he'd be on hand for an actual real-life emergency?

And when faced with the ultimate Superhero's test, how would he fare?

Would he swoop in and begin saving people from the wreckage? Maybe pick up the car and fly it back out into the parking lot?

Or would he stand there and watch from the sidelines as others rushed to help?

He's a bit tough to spot, but watch for him in the upper right portion of the video, and we think you'll agree: Sir, you're not fit to wear that uniform.
