Double Take

Oh, right, yeah, crayon sculptures of people. Right. Crayons. Well, at that size they could hardly be used for what my first impression suggested.

They always choose the dumbest American....

Why is it that the reporters always seem to choose the dumbest person in America to interview about whatever news event is going on?

In this article about how Baldwin Park, CA -- birthplace of the In'N'Out Burger -- is banning drive-thrus (a rarity in the UK), somehow they found this brilliant example of American intelligence to interview:

Another customer, Fabian Olguin, conceded that "to be honest, yeah, we have too many drive-thrus", but said they are a victim of their own success. Sometimes, the long line of cars outside In-N-Out often makes it impossible for him to drive there from his workplace, on the other side of the road, he complained. When that happens, he is forced to walk across the street and eat his dinner in the restaurant's sit-down section.

Nice, real nice, Fabian.
