It’s the long con.
Eugene Mirman, better known at Gene Belcher from Bob’s Burgers, was minding his own business in Portsmouth, NH back in June when he received a rather strange fine.
After backing into a spot and parking his car, the 40-year-old and his girlfriend decided to go on a walk… But when they returned to his vehicle, he found he had been issued a parking ticket.
Despite there being zero signs alerting him to any potential legal issues, he apparently parked in the wrong direction and was fined $15.
Well, this was not going to stand with the comedian, so he decided to pay even more money to place a full page ad in the local newspaper, saying:
“What kind of horse$&it charge is that? It’s illegal to back into a spot? Before I embarrass myself, I want to make sure that Portsmouth is still inside the United States and not considered a part of Iran?
You’re probably thinking, ‘Well, if before visiting Portsmouth, like everyone else ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ you’d simply gone to the City Clerk’s Office website, clicked on City of Portsmouth ordinances and looked in chapter seven ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ Vehicles, Traffic and Parking. Right there in section 7.316: BACK TO CURB, it says, ‘No vehicle shall remain backed up to the curb.’ Similarly, if you had gone to my website before I came to your city and clicked on Eugene’s ordinances, you’d know that in Chapter One under ‘F%#K You Don’t Steal My Money,’ in section 8.215 is says, ‘F%#K You Don’t Steal My Money.'”
That’s amazing!
Hopefully this ad will stop Portsmouth from stealing from its residents and tourists ever again.

Plus, if you haven’t started watching Bob’s Burgers, you should probably start because it’s one of the funniest shows on television!
What do you think about Eugene’s revenge??
