Hmmm... would Verizon get fined if *I* drew the advertisements on the sidewalk?

Wow -- this sounds like an April Fool's joke, but I think it's for real. :-) Via The Washington Post. [snip] The District [of Coulmbia] said yesterday that it fined Verizon
Communications Inc. $1,050 for stenciling orange-red chalk ads on sidewalks across the city to promote its Yellow Pages. The free advertising from passers by, coupled with the free advertising from the newspapers reporting it makes this seem like the writing on the wall: good ROI for USD 1050, we will see more of this chalk advertising (probably on larger stationary objects such as: bridges, walls, water towers, and older fat people). -JP _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
