Lost and Found

By David Topping

Discovered on Pape Avenue south of Dundas Street East by Torontoist Flickr Pooler squeakyrat (also responsible for this great discovery), there are at least a few other signs like these in the east end of the city. Corny? Yes. Pretty adorable? That too.

Rollover the image to switch between the “Lost” and “Found” posters.

    That’s really stupid

  • rek

    Did you ‘shoop out the rest of the phone number, or was in blank already?

  • antiboy

    How emo.

  • David Topping

    I didn’t touch the number myself, and it doesn’t look Photoshopped out in the full-size version.

  • Gauldar

    Hey! He found my ill will and bitterness! I thought I lost those for good. Phew.

  • matty

    Did I mention how stupid this was?

  • David Topping

    I’m not so good at spotting Photoshop work on white backgrounds, apparently. squeakyrat just e-mailed me to say he did Photoshop the numbers out, as he didn’t want to cause problems or get anyone into trouble.

    A while ago on Lansdowne some posters appeared.. “LOST! OUR SENSE OF HUMOUR!” and “LOST: THE WORLD!!!!!” in crayon in a child’s (or child-like) handwriting with six-year-old style illustrations. It was cute, at least.
    (Sorry, no photos, I grossly screwed up the exposure and they look like nearly white pieces of paper)

  • Svend

    At least the fine choice of script type shows they haven’t lost all their dignity.

  • little_grrl_lost

    this is not stupid.
    i think it is a valid comment on the fact that most of the time, most people act like a bunch of assholes.
    perhaps you think it’s stupid, matty, because you know you’ve been called out.
    are you an asshole?

  • matty

    yes and proud of it. It’s not something that is reduced to messageboards either. I mean, I don’t consider myself an asshole but 10 other people probably aren’t wrong.
    So yeah, I’m an asshole and I say things other people don’t want to hear.
    And yes this – whatever it is – is fucking stupid and of course picked up by Mr. Fucking Stupid himself, David Topping.

  • Gauldar

    I’m fine with matty as long as he’s not one of those assholes that are assholes on everyday but Sunday. I can’t stand those assholes, because if your going to be an asshole you may aswell be consistant… asshole.
    As for the ads, I found them somewhat ammusing.
