Watch the Only Hoverboard Video That Offended God

Hoverboards can do a lot of damage. They can set houses on fire while charging, and they can send reckless riders to the emergency room.

Only one hoverboard rider offended a higher authority, however: A brave and badass Filipino priest who took his hoverboard for a spin during Mass.

After footage of the unidentified priest went viral, the Diocese of San Pablo (a city of around 250,000 people) issued a statement saying the priest had been suspended for violating the Catholic Church’s “highest form of worship.”

From the Filipino news site Rappler:

The priest said that it was a wake-up call for him; he acknowledged that his action was not right and promised that it will not happen again. He will be out of the parish and will spend some time to reflect on this past event. He would like to apologize for what happened.

That’s a bummer. It seems like he was just doing his part to liven things up. You can watch the highly controversial video below:

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
