That was a photo taken of them when they were at the Fuji festival, and they liked it a lot and that's why it's the cover, so don't go round throwing stupid accusations.

It didn't change my life like the brie/lamb poutine from Utopia (I know it sounds wrong but it's oh so right) but it was okay. Worth one trip, at least. My poutine authority is derived entirely from the Frenchiness of my last name. I’ve had the poutine pictured in the second photo.
