With a Police Escort and Everything
So...
Driving in Washington, I've seen many strange things. Usually they're either governmenty or idiot related. Today was strange and somehow fit neither category.
So I'm driving down Constitution Avenue and am sitting at a stoplight and see a lot of flashing lights coming my way. I don't think much of it. Motorcades are common in DC. Except this one is going very slowly. Lights and slow. Very strange.
So as it's coming towards me I see that the police are escorting a white van with what looks like a large black ball behind it. It's about 15-20 feet in diameter. What the hell is it though? I thought maybe it was nuclear waste or something.
No... it was Eddie Murphy's head. It was a giant sculpture of Eddie Murphy's head on the back of a flatbed truck. I was too floored to take a picture with my camera phone. There it was... big Eddie Murphy head driving down the street.
It was a very good likeness too.
I have no idea what the point of it was. Maybe there's a new monument to formerly funny comedians who have flushed their talent down the toilet in order to make films they can watch with their children.
