I see stupid people...

[mbarrick]

They drive around like other people. Most of them don't even know they are idiots.

The Sun Run was this morning (and it was as much fun to wake up to as past years). The genuinely amusing part can be seen above: Once the runners had all run away, it was time for the spectators to drive away.  Georgia St. is blocked off, of course, so there is a row of traffic cones blocking people from the last half block of Bute St. For some reason one person decided to turn left into the alley leading to Thurlow. Thurlow is one way - leading to Georgia. A parade of stupidity ensued with car-after-car of lost suburban twits (first you've got to wonder about anyone who drives into town early on a Sunday morning to stand in the rain and watch other people run), all turning left down the alley and being sent back by the barricade and police at the far end. The picture doesn't really do it justice because I stood and marvelled at the awesome stupidity for a good ten minutes and only when it started to die-off did I think to grab the camera.
