All in the name of a joke

Parliament and later the Law Courts provided an unusual backdrop this morning for a young man who decided to sunbathe, to the amusement, or rather disgust, of the Valletta visitors and community.

Cedric Vella of Iklin and Mauro Busuttil of Attard got together and decided to launch a series of video pranks You Tube. This morning’s adventure was the first.

With Mauro filming and Cedric acting, Cedric first put up his sunbed in front of Parliament, lay on it in his hat, T-Shirt and swimming trunks and applied sunblock as he sunbathed.

He was soon asked to leave by the police. He picked up his deckchair and moved to in front of the Law Courts, soon to leave again and lose himself in the Valletta crowd as passers-by uttered their disgust, and swore at him while others laughed and looked on bemused.
