OMG I hate this idiot.. I don't get why people love him so much.. Imagine if you had a shop and that jackass decided to stand in front of it all day just to make those annoying noises and jump around in the street like some lunatic.

In my opinion he should have a fine for disturbing the public, or the traffic or whatever.

Reassign him to the Jefferson Memorial.
