...or maybe they were just party to the modern delusion that every bit of scrawl to hit the streets is a 'meme.'
Today is Buy Nothing Day, and London is going to be alive the stands where people encourage others to cut up credit cards in protest, act as fake dummies in shop windows (as opposed to real dummies cutting up credit cards), and otherwise display how 'anti-consumer' they are.
The tragedy of modern life seems to be that there are so many new ways for people to express themselves, but so few people with anything useful to express.
I think condign punishment for the person who scrawled that, if he ever gets before a magistrate, might be to make him clean the loos in Oxford Station for a week with nothing but water and ammonia. Sound about right?
