Flickr user jng03 captures the future of advertising, in which men breakdance and seizures are induced. Sign spinners elicit a range of reactions, from "Damn, that guy can dance!" to "I hope I don't plow into someone while watching this" and even "I wasn't a flag twirler in high school...would I be qualified?" Have you ever purchased a mattress or rented an apartment because of the swirling advertisements? EXIF.

These people are proof that ours is a terrible, terrible world.
from FOC:
boss: "The job is you have to hold up this sign and you have to make sure it points in the right direction. Now, does that sound like something you can do?"
Jemaine: "Sounds like something a lamppost could do."
It looks like a picture of someone who has had a seizure or has been hit by a car while trying to cross the street.
Is that an outtake from one of the Matrix movies?
I knew it was only a matter of time before Novak would strike again. I see his strategy: he's thinking that this time an undernourished, Converse-wearing dancer won't get as much sympathy as the last guy he hit.
we need to start designating "annoying sign-spinning advertising only" lanes on our streets. it's the only safe thing to do in this brave new world.
This is like Minority Report. How did someone capture the vision I long to see. I've always imagined hitting these douches w/my truck and watching them fly. Them and the green peace pricks and adopt a foreign child sidewalk stalkers.
