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.
