Reindeer on the 5? Seriously?!
Lets just pause for a moment, shall we? Reindeer. On the 5 Freeway. In Los Angeles County. I need a minute to process this level of absurdity. Apparently, two majestic creatures – yes, reindeer – decided that gridlocked traffic and the constant threat of becoming roadkill were preferable to… whatever their enclosure was supposed to be. Because, naturally, escaping from a transport trailer is just something reindeer do on Tuesday afternoons in Southern California now.
I can already picture the scene: commuters calmly sipping their lattes while dodging antlered projectiles, a symphony of honking and bewildered gasps replacing the usual soundtrack of road rage. And the best part? Safely returned to their owner. As if that somehow makes this entire situation less ridiculous! I bet they were thrilled to have them back after they’d terrorized rush hour traffic.
Honestly, its a testament to how utterly bizarre modern life has become. We’re worried about artificial intelligence and climate change, and in the meantime, reindeer are staging freeway protests. This isn’t charming; its a glaring indictment of our priorities and a complete waste of everyone’s time. I hope those reindeer got hazard pay for their impromptu performance. And perhaps a very large carrot as an apology.
