大家都说北美这里的人比较有创意,我说这里人的创意高到并不需要体现在广告,产品,或者游戏上...比如说这个东东:

 

恩,这是我今天在等电梯的那个小房间里面边上告示板上看到的. 而照片是用手机照下来的,效果不怎么好,我再打出来一次:

呵呵,写这篇东东的人原意应该是教育我们这些jaywalkers要用过马路的指示灯而不是去跟机动车抢车道, 但是这篇东东却被作者写成了一篇看似跟原意没有任何关联的"How to use corsswalk?". 虽然通篇使用了机械性的语言, 但是不知道为什么我看着看着就想笑...呵呵,或许正是因为这种机械性的语言,间接的制造出了一种讽刺的语气...而这种语气从最初的题目里面就可以看出来了. 当然, 如果谁没有看出来的话...读到最后一行的"Congratufuckinglation" 也应该恍然大悟了吧. 赞一个啊~
