Thanks Obay

Dirty lens ;)

Raindrop-I like shooting in adverse conditions.

One of a series of bizarre mock ads which have suddenly appeared around Toronto.
This one was on Front Street between Bay and University.
Have we moved on to Generation RX?

Torontoist has solved the mystery!

LOL eduardo :)
Yeah it was raining all day today (go figure in the midst of all this snow and subzero weather we've been having) and I ducked in to get the shot and didn't notice the little drop till I got home.
Oh well; I thought it was funny enough to post despite the technical fuddle-duddle :)

Thanks cora; LOL eduardo; Thanks for the link David; Sweet-think about how happy some parents of teens would be if there was a pill they could get which would wipe out their teen's independent tendencies. It's ironic.

To the gothamist visitors; it was one of those things that make you stop in your tracks and go what???; and as soon as you get to a computer try to find out what's going on. All credit to Torontoist in tracking down the source accurately and being the first to break confirmation of the reality.

That is still sooo funny. The ones who don't 'get it', who don't think it's funny, are the ones to watch out for especially if they're your parents.
