It all started with someone snapping a picture on the train. Is this guy trying to look like Eric Cartman from the cartoon “South Park” or is it just a coincidence?
Apparently the 21-year-old was, and he’s originally from Oak Park. After the photo was posted earlier this week on Reddit, other websites picked it up, too, and the Redeye and AV Club even interviewed the “real life Cartman,” whose name is Chris Kutill.
He tells AV that he’s a Columbia College junior majoring in television, and the whole Cartman thing is on purpose. You can follow Kutill on Twitter, too, at @CartmanIRL.
