This Might Not End Well of the Day: Creative designer Sean Click may or may not be working for McDonald’s, but one thing is certain: He just helped the company set a very dangerous marketing campaign precedent.
His seed bomb ad for the fast-food chain uses California poppy to “spell out” McDonald’s iconic golden arches. That’s all well and fine except for one small thing: California poppy is state flower protected from by picked, destroyed, or dug up under penalty of law.
In other words, Click’s McDonald’s ad is indestructible.
So, if you wake up tomorrow morning with a giant brand in your front yard that you aren’t allowed to remove, now you know who to thank.

The last days of Dragon Lady Comics
Wednesday is the biggest day of the week for comic book shops. New issues arrive. Regular customers flood in for their four-colour fix. This particular Wednesday — the last one in January — was also the next-to-last one ever for Dragon Lady Comics. After 33 years, the venerable College Street shop is closing its doors. Manager Joe Kilmartin broke the news on his Facebook page earlier in the month and from there, word spread faster than a speeding bullet.
“It’s been a lot like a funeral. Everyone’s coming by to pay their respects,” says Kilmartin, explaining that the $5,200 monthly rent, despite concessions from a co-operative landlord, was too much for the shop to bear. “People who haven’t been here in 12 years or 15 years are dropping in to see the store one last time.” (Photos: Tyler Anderson/National Post)Hey hipsters prepare to spit out your fair-trade, organic roast coffee all over your Macbook because you’re about to get photo-slapped in the dome-piece with truth. Try looking at the modern adonis above and deny his awesome. Yes, he’s rocking jorts and showing leg cleavage. Yes, he has face-carpet. Yes, he’s riding a velo-beast. He was a badass and never forget that half of your genes (and all of your style) come from a man that lived so aggressively that people mistook his partying for nature disasters.
I am filled with envy by his velo-beast.
“Documentary vision is kind of like the “camera eye” photographers develop when, after taking many photos, they begin to see the world as always a potential photo even when not holding the camera at all. The habit of the photographer involuntarily framing and composing the world has become a metaphor for those trained to document using social media. The explosion of ubiquitous self-documentation possibilities, and the audience for our documents that social media promises, has positioned us to live life in the present with the constant awareness of how it will be perceived as having already happened. We come to see what we do as always a potential document, imploding the present with the past, and ultimately making us nostalgic for the here and now.”
