Whenever I see a poster that was obviously crafted at Kinko’s by a paranoid schizophrenic, I take a picture. The conspiracy theory that such notes contain, or, in this case, mocking of the Internet, inspires simultaneous guilt and delight. As for guilt, this poster is an unsettling reminder of my own fragile grip on sanity… the author understands much in the world–he or she knows the language, how to write it, what dot com is–but some little arena of mental chaos renders the author unfit for normal life. It’s not their fault. They don’t deserve to be mocked by fags with fancy cellphones. But, the problem is, the poster is funny.

It screams of conspiracy, threats over a quasi legal medical marijuana cooperative, and (I’m not clear if it’s intentional or just…) sentences are punctuated with a whole satisfying “.com”

The best part: this poster is where my beats collide. Pot conspiracy on a land use action sign. Maybe I should have posted this on the Slog.
