I remember when my son was a baby I had to haul him with me to the DMV. I pleaded with them to let me stick my infant in the picture with me, but they said they would not issue me a license and so I caved.

One man is taking this thinking a step further and might actually have a leg to stand on.

Citing the freedom of religious expression, one Canadian man, Obi Canuel, 36, is stirring the pot of what people can and cannot wear for their driver's license photos.

RAMEN!

1. If he wears the strainer all the time or when he drives I am all for it.

If he just throws it on for DMV Pics I don't think it will work.

4. Who are you to dictate what is right or wrong for his religion??

If his religion tells him to do this, then he should do it without having to worry about being judged by those of us who don't get it.

5. Because religion is the say all do all.

Sorry but if a religion says it's ok to rape children it does not mean society has to agree to that. Wearing of headgear is fine since it doesn't affect anyone but the person who wears it. Saying your religion dictates you to wear headgear only for DMV pics is a little disingenuous and is only being done because the guy wants to be douche. So if the guy wants to run around all the time with that on his head by all means let him do it, if he wants to be douche and throw it on for DMV pics he needs to sit down and think about why this is so important to him.

2. rAmen.

At least it doesn't cover his face. But where is his pirate costume? Guy seems like Pastafarian-lite, or maybe a Reform Pastafarian.

3. Cafeteria Pastafarian. nt

7. He might be new Pastafarian or Pastafarian 2.0

I know one thing. I'm not draining my pasta in that thing after it's been on his head.

8. So now there are sects?

Spaghetti, Ravioli, Manicotti and so on?

[cbayer]

9. Not only sects, but extremists.

The gnocchi's and polentas are trying to move in, or so I have heard. Neither needs the strainer and can move ahead in this regard.

Scary times indeed.

10. Polenta is not pasta so stop saying that!

Heretic!

6. Last I looked into it, there are no laws against idiocy.
