florida man

Thanks to some interesting laws that make it way easier to get ahold of arrest records, there are a disproportionate amount of wacky crime stories that come out of Florida. So now we have Florida Man. He's not the hero we necessarily want or need, but he is the hero who we certainly deserve.

Florida man strikes again! Thanks to Florida's Sunshine Law allowing very open access to public records of police goings-on, we get a whole lot of wtf stories coming out of the state. In the headlines, the Florida men of all stripes come out of the woodwork and make the world a wackier, drunker, and more dangerous place.

Say what you want, but the truth is that Florida really is in a league of its own. We've got people out there vaping bodily fluids, training alligators, and taking a pancake snack break in the middle of the road. That last one's alright though. Sometimes you just need some pancakes, bro. If you're looking for more Florida Man content in your life, check out the epic Florida Man Challenge over here. It might be just what your life needed. 

Florida Man. Not the hero we asked for, but the hero we deserve.

Folks have speculated that there is something in the water down in Florida or perhaps some other variable that causes these crazy headlines, but one thing is for sure, Florida Manwill keep on making crazy headline memes for the rest of the country, and world, to enjoy with puzzled looks.

Florida Man is the hero we never wanted, but maybe the one we deserve...

And Florida Man headlines have gotten so surreal, that there is even a Florida Man wiki page on Know Your Meme. 

The greatest hero to work our planet, Florida Man. It's almost like the population of Florida is in a crazed competition to see who can do the absolute dumbest sh*t. All I know is these are NOT the kinds of mouthbreathing, insane individuals you ever want to cross paths with. 

Florida Man, you are one crazy silly bastard. 

Because of a strange attribute of the English language, many headlines in America about men from that state end up looking like they are committed by the same individual, named Florida Man. Why do all these things happen to men in Florida? No one knows for sure, but we suspect it is something in the water.

Ah, the good 'ol hero we deserve, but really don't want. 

Florida Man has grown into a full blown meme, with screen shots of the headline counting as memes and posted online for their surreal absurdity. There is even a Florida Man Know Your Meme page and also a Florida Man subreddit. There will probably even be some Facebook challenge in the future where people are tricked into giving their birthdays in order to see the Florida man article that matches their big day.

Oh Florida. 

Aside from the fact that half the state is under water or the fact that there are alligators in people's backyards, Florida sure seems like a nice place. Well that and all the Florida Man headlines that seem to get crazier as time goes on. Either the police in Florida are extremely talented at catching crazies, or criminals in Florida are simply crazy themselves. But the nice weather makes up for it all.
