Wut?

John McAfee is the founder of McAfee Antivirus Software. I am pretty sure if I wore a woman's thong over to the Costco down the road, that would be regarded as acceptable.

John McAfee Arrested For Wearing A Woman's Thong As A Facemask In Germany

John McAfee, former founder of McAfee Antivirus Software, was reportedly arrested in Germany for making an unwelcome fashion statement with his face cover when he wore a woman's thong - instead of a face mask - over his head.

McAfee tweeted out on Monday that he had been detained because he wouldn't put on a medically certified mask instead of the thong.

He wrote: "Visited Catalonia just before Europe banned Catalonians from travelling. Tried to return to Germany and were refused entrance. They demanded we wear masks. I put on my thong mask. They demanded I replace it. I refused. Tussle. Jail. Black eye. Released."
Surely jailing this man for his creative effort to comply with the mask requirement was unnecessary and excessive. Agreed?

What's wrong with that, it is a cloth covering after all. Reminds me of the South Korean guy with a winged maxipad covering his mouth and nose, love that photo, lol.

To be fair, I can see why that wouldn’t be deemed effective. I wonder if the arrest was more about the physical tussle than the mask.

McAfee is a piece of work.

I imagine it has more to do with the "tussle" part.

Yeah, he's a certifiable lunatic, which also explains why folks around here seem to love him. Go figure.

His brain is fried or he is looking for attention. Or both. The guy also married a prostitute so he wouldn't have to pay her.
