blogTO Flicker pooler HighPlainsDrifter (Michael) spotted and photographed this beautifully hand-drawn flyer. This inspired and charming anti-media poster, entitled "Is This What We Are?" is by an artist unknown and was spotted on Stephen Drive, near South Humber Park.

Thanks for sharing this with us, Michael!

Sometimes my TV watches me. And the sofa watches me too. But my walls listen instead. They have ears.

My dog watches TV. She likes suspense shows and Discovery channel. She's such a media whore, that bitch. Power to the people.

That is the most uninspiring, cliche-wrought urban-hipster thing I have ever seen. Get over yourselves media-haters.

Dear Jerrold,

Assuming you are not joking...

RE: "Beautifully Hand Drawn." Um, no. It's just ugly scribbles.

RE: "Inspired and Charming." Not even close.

RE: "Anti-media Poster." Dude, it's a piece of paper taped to a pole. You have to be kidding, right? RIGHT?!

To answer the question .. YES, that is our purpose .. to love the media or to hate it .. as long as we don't think of the real problems in today's world.. that every country is in debt to the banks, etc, etc. anyhow, i second "the walls have ears"

Isn't subjective visual perception a wonderful thing?
