Woman Claims Spaghetti Strainer as Religious Headwear in Driver’s License Photo

An Oklahoma woman recently wore a spaghetti strainer on her head while taking a driver’s license photo, citing the state’s allowance of religious headwear.
Shawna Hammond is a Pastafarian and said the colander represents freedom, KTLA’s sister-station KFOR-TV reported Saturday.
“For me the colander represents freedom, our freedom of religion, and to whatever religion that we prefer, or even lack of religion,” Hammond said.
“A man named Bobby Henderson wrote an open letter to the Kansas State Board of Education. It was actually about teaching creationism in school and he came up with the flying spaghetti monster and it had just as much merit,” Hammond said.
Hammond said she was allowed to take the photo because she obeyed the state’s laws that requires people remove their glasses and wear a religious headpiece that does not cover their face, create shadows, or display text or logos.
“She giggled, gave me a funny look and asked me what religion I was. I told her I was a Pastafarian,” Hammond said.

Who cares? If it makes her feel unique and rebellious then more power to her.

That "cute" picture sets this woman up to catch shite from every dumbass cop in Oklahoma that she ever encounters.
Cops tend not to be so enlightened around somebody trying to make a joke out of religious freedom.

I have heard of this. It's a growing fad to make a point that anyone can worship anything and call it religion. We had someone elected to the city council wear one to his acceptance speech.

Calling it a religion and it actually being a religion are two different things. Though we don't notice that in our overly-independent society.
