It was just banter.

We hope that excuse washes down at the police station. A Trollstation prankster got nicked for hijacking the World Diving Championships yesterday and jumping into the pool from the boards. Dan Jarvis invaded the men's 10m final in London, scaled the steps, birthday-suited up, freed himself from the grip of security and plunged underwhelmingly into the pool below without even a cannonball entry. He got booed by the crowd as he surfaced again and he also got escorted out by the authorities. All that to jump in the pool without even a crowd to gee you on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chTXUCgPwkA Some outlets suggested that it was streaking but, if anything, he was just getting on the appropriate uniform for the occasion. He should know though that not everyone gets a cheer for streaking. Sometimes, it's a letdown. Sometimes, it's only you who thinks it's good craic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AutCYC3dH-E
