Man cited for riding camel during Sundance fest
PARK CITY, Utah (AP) — Police cited a man for riding a camel and obstructing traffic in Park City, Utah, as attendees of the Sundance Film Festival packed the town.
Jason Andreozzi was promoting a movie he directed that didn't make it into the festival lineup.
Park City police cited Andreozzi for riding the camel along Park Avenue and Main Street on Friday afternoon. Police say they also gave him a warning about distributing flyers.
Andreozzi says he wasn't impeding traffic while riding the camel, and he says he wasn't handing out flyers.
Andreozzi's film looks at Egypt during the Arab Spring, and he says he chose a camel because people identify the animal with the country.
The Sundance Film Festival began last Thursday and continues through Jan. 27.

I am sure there was a lot of humping going on at the festival.
one way or the other i now know about his film and im not even at the film fest.
Sad news is that he was ticketed for the flyers. I would think his Constitutional rights would be violated with that one.
 @WendyTeagarden Seriously.  I think it was just unnecessary drama(dary).
He probably just thought it was hump day.

@negativerep Would that be one hump or two??????
 @negativerep @WendyTeagarden My hump my hump.

He would've been better off putting on a dunce cap disguised as a pyramid.
