Use The Stairs, Fatties

If you haven't watched it yet, check out the video of a man getting stuck in an elevator for 41 hours. It is insane. It went up about a month ago, and Lindsay was going to post about it at the time, but we decided there was nothing funny to say about watching someone being buried alive. Which is what it basically is. Too bad he never learned the one-inch punch.

Max Silvestri was also stuck in an elevator, but unlike the original guy, who remains shockingly calm in his meltdown, Max pees his pants so much. It's sadder:

(via 23/6)

I'm glad that someone finally found a way to relieve the collective anxiety that the original elevator video produced in our minds, and in our pants. Watch Michelle Collins of Best Week Ever interview the elevator guy here.
