Labeling Mountains

Here's something I don't get. We climb mountains for the natural beauty. And when we get to the top, we stick a sign marking the achievement.

It's ridiculous.

The Middle Seat

Travel, more specifically airline travel, has become absolutely inhumane. And nobody knows the suffering better than business travelers.
And nothing captures the essence of the terrible nature of airline travel like this brilliant ad from Westin hotels. I'll be honest, I have a fondness for Westins and the aesthetic they create.

Honk If You're Happy

This sign is a bit ironic. First of all, it was placed about train tracks...so people don't have horns to honk. Second, it's New York City...people are honking because they aren't happy. Finally, what the hell does all of this have to do Nesquik?

Pop Art Burrito

After yesterday's posting about Watch Out For the Pole at Moe's burritos, I thought I would post about the original - Chipotle burritos.

In New York, I encountered a massive Chipotle burrito sign on Houston Street. It's an artsy neighborhood and Chipotle used a pop-art inspired theme. Very eye catching.

Watch Out for the Pole

At lunch today, we were at this burrito chain called Moe's. It's kind of a poor man's Chipotle.

In the middle of the restaurant was a support column with a POLE sign on it. Duh! I guess it isn't entirely obvious to the average patron.

Male Role Models

I found this sign in New York City a few weeks ago and I’m not entirely sure what it is for. I’m fact, I don’t have a clue what this is for.

But I wonder if this is some kind of Warren Jeffs, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS), pedophile thing. Ok, Ok, to be fair, it’s a splinter group in the Mormon church and not mainstream Mormons that are into this kind of thing…at least not openly.

It’s an odd sign/advert and I really don’t understand what the call to action is here.
