This is a cheat, I guess, since I already bulletined this up on MySpace, which is something I try to not do (both crosspost and post bulletins on MySpace, that is).

I saw my new favorite graffiti on the bus tonight, which read "fuck window advertising!" and filled me with joy and warmth. It's been bugging me about how ever since downtown Field's changed over to crappy Macy*s they just keep pasting ads up onto the huge display windows instead of actually putting displays in them. Why be able to see through glass when you can look at a big paste-up of a couple of ugly white people pretending to get excited about some stupid shit? So yes, "fuck window advertising,' indeed. Cub Foods, please stop making the LRT look like a giant hoagie. I'm watching you.
Have you seen the TheraFlu ad where the guy looks straight out of Carnival of Souls?! DUDE.

Posted by: Kim at November 2, 2006 10:18 PMThe results page should really just say, "Congratulations! You recognize more than two vowel sounds." People hate on a NY accent, but clearly it is the right way to speak. PS I never see window advertising. I must start paying attention, so that I can hate it.
