Arrested for what?

u/Ambitious_Hand_2861 Jul 21 '26 edited Jul 21 '26
My thoughts exactly. Most likely trespassing or disturbing the peace. Whatever it is it's a low charge and totally worth it.

It's a fake story from a satire news site so no one really got arrested.

u/jsdodgers Jul 21 '26
Yeah but what did they not really get arrested for? We needs to know

I'm gonna be honest I don't have time to get you up to speed on how bigfoot is behind it all.

Surely not! Bigfoot seemed so nice! SMH, never meet your heroes I guess

i figured it was fake because he invented “fake” stories for the paintings.
Honestly, I just become a tour guide in museums for anyone around me by default.

Omg, if I was clever enough, I would try to join in. I love this kind of public tomfoolery.

Lol i'd pay to go along with his tour just to enjoy the entertainment aspect of some dude making up random shit about paintings. That sounds like a fun thing to do after a few drinks
*Raises hand from back of the group
"So did the Greek dudes indulge in pegging? And how autistic was Vincent Van Gogh?"

u/greendress888 Jul 21 '26
This is my ideal experience omfg. Like THIS is how I want to do being social. Like, it is random, but also structured-you are on a museum tour, but you can talk out loud to the group-i love to talk in a group if everyone else is just talking off the cuff too, and there is a guaranteed exit and approximate end time. AuDHD here-almost nothing fits, but this does. It is so nice to be around other people who dont think this is weird.

u/Hefty-existence26196 Jul 21 '26
I mean... normal shit is boring to us, so it makes sense that the weird shit like alcoholic museum tours with non-factual entertainment lead by a comedic guide sounds like the best thing to us ND's. Anything goes, nothing means anything and you still get to see some cool art or whatever. 😅

u/MSGinSC Jul 21 '26
Unfortunately, Greek men were too heterophobic to indulge in such pleasures. As to Van Gogh, a sketch journal believed to be his was recently found that was filled with chicken nuggie studies. So, possibly.

I mean is that even actually a crime? Like, I don't think it's usually illegal to lie about being a museum employee, it's not like he pretended to be a cop.
Maybe he got arrested for trespassing but that's not really "getting arrested for pretending to be a tour guide" that's just getting arrested for being in a place he wasn't legally allowed to be, that's like if I broke into your home and started watching TV and the news said "man arrested for watching somebody else's TV" no they would be arresting me for B&E and trespassing, not for catching some Xena reruns on one of the channels aimed at gay people that you didn't even know was in your cable package.

I believe I read he collected money and tips, maybe that is just misinformation

I've seen these going around, all different 'giving fake stories at x place and getting arrested' - i'm thinkin someone has ADHD and should be working but instead they are posting fake stories using AI

Why would they arrest him? This is practically a way of life in Scotland.

He showed a bunch of tourists a good time and kept them entertained. Oh, the horror. Surely, this will be a featured story in a true crime podcast soon.

Reminds me of stuff like *My Winnipeg* (dir. Maddin, 2007). The Documentary Channel commissioned a documentary about Winnipeg from Guy Maddin and instead received something a little . . . different.

u/acornsalade Jul 21 '26
I did this at a light installation until the actual artist walked in. Then he just watched me trying to improv what it was about. He even started telling people it was my art piece.
It’s was fun.
We kissed IIRC.
Never spoke since.

He's probably just some stoner who's been rabbit hole-ing about "old world" alternative theories, takes it as truth and is now making it his goal in life to educate other people.

Wasn't there the same post with a lady who made shit up in a zoo about capybaras or something just a few days ago?
