A man has posed for a mugshot wearing a t-shirt showing himself posing for a mugshot.

Robert Burt, channelling MC Escher and that time he stood between two mirrors and freaked himself out with a vision of Burts receding into infinity, was arrested for drunk driving. He had a provisional mugshot taken and was ordered to report back to spend two days in custody.

Mug #1

Burt posted on facebook, “Going to do my 48 hours whoo,” before surrendering to carry out the sentence. When he arrived he was wearing a T-shirt printed with his original mugshot and the words “Burt Family Reunion 8/8-8/10/2014” (referring to an incarcerated relative), and “sponsored by Bud Light and Somerset County Sheriff".

Mug #2, incorporating Mug #1

Burt said the corrections officer made him move the booking sign in order to capture Burt's celebration of what, for many, would be a shameful episode rather than something to put on a t-shirt. Burt said on Facebook, “They laughed there asses off haha”.

Burt's effort recalls the ongoing game being played by Ryan Gosling and Macaulay Culkin in which they wear a t-shirt with a photo on it of the other wearing a t-shirt with a photo on it of the other wearing a t-shirt with a photo on it of the other etc etc.

Culkin, still a role model to one

Burt appears to be playing a high-stakes version of the same game, by himself. After his 48 hours in prison he pronounced on Facebook, “I’m out bitchs". Expect a third mugshot shortly.
