On Saturday, a number of us decided to have a little BBQ at a small park. It was a good time - beer, hot dogs, Frisbee, and football. As Alex was chucking the football around, a group of Korean girls (and one mortified looking boy) ran up to him and began requesting a photo with him. They then wandered over to our main picnic area and got their camera out. At first, it was kind of flattering; if they wanted photos with us, it was kind of like being a rock star.
However, they didn't actually want photographs WITH us. They wanted photographs OF us. They started hinting that they basically wanted photos of us acting how we would normally act, like "in our natural environment" or something. I'm sorry, but that's just insensitive. I did, however, get a picture with them.

Bonus points for the patented Pedersen "what the fuck is going on" smile.
