As per the site where I found these jems, this was done on purpose...
"I’ve been riding bullhorn pursuit bars (see Figure A) on my track bike for a little over 5 years. As A messenger they were easier to carry archive boxes on my bars and still have both hands on the bars. That day, when I saw how upright and comfortable the man on the schwinn was riding I decided to give it a try. I simply flipped my pursuit bars up (see Figure B).
I discovered the amazingly comfortable new world appropriately named the DUI (like the traffic citation) Style! It was like having 2 bikes in one! Flipped down I was in race mode. I could skid much further and I would gain WAY more street cred. Flipped up I feel like a 1920 western union messenger. Not to mention i am upright and my back feels great with out getting off a track bike! The best part about pursuit bars is that you can switch between the two different styles with a twist of an allen. So, after a hard day of time trialing through the city looking like a bad ass, I can cruise home in comfort DUI style."

This guy probably isn't alcoholic if he wants wine and microbrew beer. A real alcoholic would just get a handle of cheap ass liquor. He probably just has a bike and doesn't know of anything he would want to trade it for other than beer/wine/cash

Why would one want to skid further? Takes longer to slow and/or stop. Skidding for appearances' sake is pretty jackass.

why is that bike ill-fitting? Doesn't look too out of whack to me? Stem is a little high, I guess. Those GTs are the bikes they rent out at my local velodrome. Well, not local, but it's the closest one to me and it's 3 hours away outside of Dallas. It's an AMAZING veolodrome, though. I rode those GTs...very very very agressive geometry. I'm not surprised the guy would stick his stem up like that

What, you have enough "street cred" to use the term "tarck" ? And you pretend to know me enough to ban me from using a term? Who do you think you are? Tarck boy?
