Spanish police have arrested four Frenchmen for jumping in front of cars on a busy road so that they could film them and post the footage on the Internet.

Because they were doing this "on the road between Benidorm to La Nucia."

Which is in Spain.

Turban Man, your sigline is perfect for this thread. So perfect in fact, at first glance I thought it was part of you post rather than a sigline.
