A New Zealand man who witnessed the horrific Oslo bombing has become an internet sensation after giving an interview that literally defies belief for its vacuous stupidity.
Cameron Leslie, predictably a University of Waikato graduate, is a sales rep for Thomson Reuters in Norway and was attending his local gym when the bomb attack rocked the inner city. Leslie told Campbell Live that the moment the attack occurred was “quite overwhelming for a couple of reasons…when the blast went off I was on the eight repetition of a 165kg bench press, umm you know that’s quite a lot of weight.”
He added that after it became clear that it was a terror attack, they were ordered to evacuate and he duly left, but before explaining “naturally, I finished my set”.
The extraordinary douchebaggery displayed by Leslie has turned him into an internet sensation, a fact that he will almost certainly add to his extensive LinkedIn profile, which is so detailed that it would not be out of place to see paper clip management among his proud achievements in the many roles of responsibility he has held. It would certainly sit nicely beside “packaging and shipping of products” after all.
All we know at Critic is that if anyone bombs us, Leslie would definitely be the man we’d want to drag us from the rubble. Dude is strong yo.
