Cory Doctorow visits Radio Shack, Robot Johnny gets served

Monday, June 5, 2006

Via MetaFilter: A blogger with his hate-on (or love-on?) for BoingBoinger Cory Doctorow envisions a scene in which Cory waxes ecstatic over culture jamming and open source this-and-that.  This excerpt takes a swing at my remixed TTC map:

CORY DOCTOROW: And I have a background wallpaper skin of the Ontario subway system with all the stop names cleverly rearranged to spell out the names of the characters from “Harry Potter”.

First off, Ontario subway system?  That would be awesome. 

Next stop Sudbury. Sudbury.

Well, at least he didn’t say “Canadian subway system.” I guess.

The TTC should hold an “Architectual Contest” to renew, revitalize, rebuild old TTC stations a few at a time in a way that the TTC and the people don’t pay a penny, and the stations would look like those in Montreal, Canada.  (Canada has some of the best architect’s in the world)!

Adam Giambrone can buy whatever he needs for the TTC, create future buses that don’t run off gas and ship the bills to Stevie Harper, if his friends complain we sue them for negligence and lying all the time.  You see in France people tell the gov’t what to do, and they’re not scared of the gov’t, and we have to stop looking at the complications and see the possibilites and the benefits of all we’re doing for the people!

Arguing with Adam and David about how easy this is, is damn hard.  They need some help from people in France to tell the gov’t what to do, and just don’t want to see beyond all the complications!  AAH!
