No, Man
This has absolutely nothing to do with OTB except that I saw it on my way to work, but I have no idea where else I could mention what I saw and express how it makes me feel. It’s actually a little dated, because I forgot about it until just now:
So going to work Manhattan-bound on the R train I saw a movie poster on the wall of the Bay Ridge Ave terminal through the train car windows. It was for Jim Carrey’s latest comedy, Yes Man, and had a picture of Jim smiling and the title and such. Fortunately, the train stopped long enough for me to catch all the great graffiti on the torn poster, written in black sharpie.
Under the title, it read: “No, Man!” And then: “Fuck your happy face!”
Then, under that, possibly by a different artist, it said: “Go fuck yourself you piece of shit!”
and “Die!”
and finally, “FEEL Pain!”
Does that sum up the lingering dread and misery and anger and hopelessness we as a people are feeling as the economy and country fall apart around us? I don’t know, but it was still pretty fucking funny.
