Improving Airport Efficiency: LAX Just Announced That It’ll Be Hiring 500 New Workers To Yell At You In The Pickup Lane

With the nightmare that is getting to and from the airport, it should come as no surprise that air travel satisfaction is lower than ever. But travelers will be happy to know that one airport is finally stepping up to the plate in a big way: Los Angeles International Airport just announced that it’ll be hiring 500 new workers to yell at people in the pickup lane.

Finally, an airport that knows what it’s doing!

In a move that should definitely take the headache out of navigating the pickup lane, a small army of workers will soon be on hand to helpfully shout at drivers to keep moving or wave them in a random direction for an unknown reason. Anyone who’s driven to the airport knows how difficult it can be to figure out which pickup lane you need to be in, but soon when you drive to LAX, you will have no shortage of uniformed employees getting mad at you for being in the lane someone else just told you to use. Once this initiative is fully implemented later this year, a typical pickup zone will have no fewer than 25 workers haranguing each driver whose friends and loved ones are still making their way to the car.

LAX FTW!

“We want people coming to pick someone up at LAX to know that they can always count on an unending parade of workers yelling different directions at them all the time,” said Barbara Yamamoto, chief experience officer for Los Angeles World Airports. “It doesn’t matter if you decide to listen to the attendant who told you to keep making loops or the attendant who seems intent on sending you to the cab stand, you should never feel like you’re on your own at LAX, nor should you ever be getting fewer than six distinct, contradictory directives from whistle-blowing traffic attendants who seem to be at the end of their ropes and might snap at any second and go totally apeshit on you.”

Wow, way to go, LAX! Here’s hoping more airports start taking a page out of your book.

Honeycomb (cereal)

In his very last commercial, Honeycomb Kid battles Opera Bear (a mysterious ursine version of the Phantom of the Opera). Opera Bear’s one appearance was the final commercial of a several-part series, in which the Honeycomb Kid was seeking what he called “The Honeycomb Secret.” Honeycomb Kid had learned from his prior adventures that the secret consisted of three separate parts: The first was the Crunch, the second was the Shape, however the third and most important answer had always eluded him.

Presumably clues from his past adventures had led him to this location. Suddenly he was attacked by Opera Bear, who swung in on a rope. Opera Bear tells the Kid that he will never discover the Honeycomb Secret. The Kid responds “I don’t think so, Opera Bear!” (This is how his name was revealed to the viewer). Upon defeating Opera Bear, Honeycomb Kid discovers the third component of the Honeycomb secret to be the Taste. Since the Kid had originally claimed to have been looking for “The Secret of Honeycomb’s great taste”, the taste seems a somewhat unusual third component to the riddle.[original research?]

At the end of the commercial, Opera Bear and the Kid take a bow on stage, leading one to believe the entire series of commercials were meant to have all been a play. This was the last the world would see of both Opera Bear and the Honeycomb Kid as Crazy Craving would become Honeycomb’s new mascot by the next commercial.
