What are they on?

Sometimes when I watch KSL News, I think either I've unknowingly injested psychedelic mushrooms — or they have.

Sam Penrod has been reporting on a bizarre Utah Lake carp story for two days running. Here's all you need to know:

Last night we told you of a plan by state officials to remove millions of carp from Utah Lake and possibly send them to Iraq to benefit starving people. But Eyewitness News discovered today that part of that plan has suddenly run into two big problems.

First of all, it turns out the man who wanted to market the harvested carp out of the lake and sell them overseas is under federal investigation in Minnesota for operating a similar plan that has been called a scam by prosecutors...
Beyond the processing/shipping costs involved, would anyone with an unbent mind believe that the Iraqis would want millions of PCB-contaminated (Penrod's other "big problem") carp out of Utah Lake?

Penrod ends by getting all philosophical with this sixth-grade class-report summation:
... the problem of carp in Utah Lake isn't an easy one to solve and now faces more complications.

I recognize the KSL talking head, the phallic mushroom, the carp. But who is the chick?
