We Need a Hero to Save Us

We have lots of fun here with our This Week in Stupid posts, but wouldn't it be nice if there were enough good deeds like this for a This Week in Heroism feature? It could have its own theme song by Nickelback and everything.

Anthony Pearl was driving near Wacker and Congress early this morning when he saw a Jeep roll over and catch fire. He stopped his car, ran over to help, and cut two men out of their seatbelts with a pocket knife, just before the Jeep exploded. After that he grabbed a fire extinguisher and called the fire department. Then, he climbed up a nearby tree, saved two kittens, and fed worms to a starving baby bird from his own mouth. Okay, we made up that last part, but isn't the first part enough? Get that guy a medal.
