Tar and feathered!
What on earth is that? Take a guess... Is that a street artist performance? A one leg mannequin? A slot machine? A toilet for dogs?! All wrong! It's a parking terminal! Why is it all covered in feathers like this? I have no idea, but Adrien M. who took the photo at rue Gazan and kindly sent it to me (2 guest contributors in 3 days, that's a first!) said it was probably angry car owners ;-) Don't tell me this idea never crossed your mind!

That way you do not have to pay for parking. Where can I insert the coin?
ReplyDeleteOh, how funny! I'm glad he sent the photo to you.
ReplyDeleteReally weird.
ReplyDeleteI can assure you that this HAS crossed my mind on more occasions than I care to admit.
ReplyDeleteOh goodness the practise of tarring and feathering went out with the arc, surely! Eek. Someone has a BIG grudge against parking fines! Gosh, imagine going to all that trouble...
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is that if this is what this person does when they get a parking fine, god help anyone who gets their daughter pregnant!
ReplyDeletethis idea really never crosses my mind ever. your mind is amazing and fantastic.
ReplyDeleteLOL Drummond!
ReplyDeleteI can honestly say I've never thought of this, but it is rather ingenious, though destructive...and time consuming! But it does look rather interesting.
Brilliant, Eric —glad you posted this. How many New Yorkers have wanted to tar and feather a parking meter, I wonder? Can't quite decide if the person who did this is géniale or complètement fou!
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is your photos and commentary this week have been varied and intriguing, like Paris itself.
ReplyDeleteFeathers and anger???? Funny!
ReplyDeleteMarvelous idea!
ReplyDeleteha! We should do that to some politicians!
