Utah Valley is pretty much the only place I can think of where something this stupid could actually happen and be quasi controversial. Apparently there’s some magoo named Nathan Langford from River Falls, Wisconsin who gets a kick out of standing around in the rain in some creepy cloak and singing aloud to himself around BYU campus. This in itself is about as annoying as hell and typical of the Brian Regan/Jack Johnson worshiping BYU crowd, but it gets even better. Some other kid apparently told the police on this kid. Cloak Boy was told to stop or he would be cited for “disturbing the peace.”

It’s amusing how these two traits (being as annoying as hell and also being a bureaucracy/authority loving tattle taler) accurately describe a lot of people that attend BYU. Its kind of like seeing a dog chase its own tail. But wait, it gets better.

There are now a couple of support groups on facebook defending this guy. I’m guessing these people are also probably die-hard Kirby Heyborne fans, secretly wish EFY was for college students too, and have gone on at least one group date where they raced lawn mowers.

Seriously, choose a cause with some meaning, like maybe the organization to sew Madonna’s lips together. They seriously are trying to organize protests and make t-shirts. It reminds me several years back when a bunch of kids were outside the Museum of Art protesting the arrival of some Rodin sculptures, including the famous “The Kiss,” perhaps Rodin’s most important work, because of how titillating they found it. Many BYU students will do anything in their power to chase culture away from Provo, one of the most culturally deprived college towns I know of.

Anyway, my views always side with the Libertarians, and so jerk boy or whatever his name is should have the liberty to stand out there and sing, and whoever went to the police should be drug out into a parking lot and beat, and the BYU Clown Patrol (aka Police) should grow a backbone and not let tattle talers push them around.
