From The Olympian editorial:
» Write a story about the Lacey Police Department using a mannequin in a parked police car to slow down speeders and the responses are predictable and funny. “Dummy police officer ... isn’t that redundant?,” one reader wrote in the The Olympian’s comment section. Others chimed in with: “This is too easy ... a dummy in a Lacey Police car.” “I bet this guy outscored them all on the civil service test.” “I bet the union wants him to join.” And finally, “Trevor (the dummy) obviously isn’t a real LPD officer, since he visibly has hair.” Ouch! While it’s easy to poke fun, here’s the bottom line: Using the dummy is a low-cost, effective way to get people to slow down. Poke all the fun you want. It works! Here is the REAL funny part - how many quotes can you get from the dummy?
