Meanwhile in Oregon . . .

Is this life inspired by fashion, or fashion inspired by life?

Deep thoughts happen when you learn some guy may have inadvertently given himself a subliminal message to commit a crime.

Apparently, this dude walked into a convenience store . . . opened a bag of cookies, and ate half  . . . walked out of the store without paying . . . all while wearing a COOKIE MONSTER SHIRT!!

No word on what charges he’s facing, but when the Forest Grove police released his photo, the cookie bandit turned himself in and said it was a “misunderstanding.”
