'Hat Man' Helps Save Seals

Recently, town officials in Littlestown, Pennsylvania, ordered Larry Douthwaite to nix his crazy headwear. Larry (aka "Hat Man") is a school crossing guard known for wearing silly hats that some humor-impaired people thought were a "distraction." (I don't know about you, but I brake for dudes wearing giant corncobs on their heads. And unicorns.) It only took two weeks of complaints from locals who were missing their funny-hat fix to get the decision reversed, though, and Hat Man is back in action.
As huge fans of using funny costumes to get a serious message across, we sent Larry a custom-made "Hug Them, Don't Club Them" hat, and he quickly joined our campaign to stop the Canadian seal slaughter.

Not everyone can pull off a hat topped with a plush seal, but Hat Man totally rocks the look. In fact, he stops traffic. Literally.
Hmmm … I'm already thinking about how we can top this one. Maybe a "Buck the Rodeo" cowboy hat or a hat shaped like a block of tofu? What do you think? Put on your thinking cap (get it?) and get back to us. In the meantime, get in on the action and help stop the seal slaughter.

I've seen Green Bay Packers fans wear hats shaped like wedges of cheese, so a tofu hat should'nt be hard to make. How about a hat made to look like a head of lettuce or cabbage? Or one make to look like a bowl with a yummy salad in it?
