Subject: BS: Internet follies: and now, bored apes
... and you know why I'm starting a thread about an Internet thing? Because it turned up OUTSIDE the Internet, that's why.
I go on an occasional pleasure drive through Pittsfield, Massachusetts. And on one state highway, there's this stupid BILLBOARD and you can't help but do a double-take as you drive past.
Yes ... it features Bored Apes. Somebody else can explain about Bored Apes: non-fungibles, blockchains, all manner of stuff that this senior citizen can live without ...
... but why promote them on a highway BILLBOARD, I ask you? Does somebody profit from doing this financially? Is it going to go away as mysteriously as it appeared? I just wonder.
