Our tax dollars at work

In the bathrooms at work 2 of the cubicles have those "potty billboards" where advertisers will try to entice you to purchase their cell phones or cable service while you are doing your necessary business. They change them every couple of weeks so a new advertiser can have your attention while you are grunting.

Anyways, about a month ago a new advertiser went in. It was the Alberta provincial government.... they had an advertisement aimed at students trying to show them how perfect Alberta is to work in. You know... work in this "great economy" all week and then spend the weekend fishing, hiking, hang-gliding, etc in the mountains.

Then last week that advertisement was replaced with a new one. This one is from the Canadian federal government.... they have an advertisement aimed at students advertising the opportunities to work and study abroad.

So my tax money is being spent by people with totally contradictory interests. Awesome!

Isn't the important thing just to be grateful that someone has provided you something to read while in the lav?
