Americans are laying off the booze in record numbers.

It's Thursday, August 14th.

Let's ride.

Good morning and happy Thursday.

As any visitor to Chicago knows,

you simply must snap a selfie in front of The Bean, a famous sculpture in Millennium Park.

But are you unwittingly taking a picture of a prison?

For the last two weeks, a group calling themselves Man in Bean has been protesting outside the artwork,

saying that there is a man trapped in the Bean.

As one of them said in a now viral video, in 2004,

Anish Kapoor, the chief architect of the bean, stole a baby and put that baby inside the bean.

We're calling for the immediate release of the man trapped inside the bean. Don't believe these guys?

Well, they say if you look closely when the sun hits the bean just right, you can see the

faint outline of the man. Toby, comedy stunt or shocking conspiracy? The man in the bean

conspiracy is growing to such a scale that a local councilman had to step in and put an end to the

rumors. I am happy to confirm that a man has not been trapped inside Cloudgate, aka the Bean for the past 21 years, Brendan Riley said in this statement. In fact, the man was freed years ago. Further, we can neither confirm nor deny that Soldier Field is actually a flying saucer. So clearly in on the bit, but then he got a little bit more serious and said, I appreciate a lighthearted parody as much as the next guy.
