- zippe, on 08/26/2008, -3/+509i like how most of the paper slips are torn off.
- ubernoggin, on 08/26/2008, -6/+339I, too, am a fan of discount sushi bars and polka raves. It's a wonder I haven't run into Steve.
- Lunarparcel, on 08/27/2008, -2/+288This reminds of a true story involving my daughter. When she was two, she was very downtrodden one evening. She explained that Peter was in the hospital (Peter was her imaginary friend.) Upon further investigation, we discover that Peter was hospitalized due to a broken leg - which he incurred when my daughter threw him against the wall. His crime? It was his imaginary birthday, and he started his party without her. She got pissed and dished out a beating on her imaginary friend - or at least imagined that she did - it still boggles me today.
- Gioleb, on 08/27/2008, -32/+307***** you, two of my friends died being imaginary...

- DarkoKun, on 08/27/2008, -1/+36Steve is probably on the imaginary heroin now and wont ever be the same.
- inactive, on 08/26/2008, -9/+44"To Steves Friends And Family
I wish he was still alive
When I think of animals I think of him
I want to be just like him and grow up to be a wildlife warrier
Steves lifestyle was amazing.
Every animal looked up to him
the world is not the same now that he is gone
whenever a year since his death comes and goes i will wake up and remember the croc hunter" - bury, on 08/27/2008, -0/+34At first I thought it was www.kmx.ca, but there's nothing there.
Then I thought it might be www.kwx.ca, but it's some hosting site. However, their slogan is interesting: "Managing what you cannot see" - AmyVernon, on 08/26/2008, -13/+46awww, Steve's so cute. wait, what do you mean you don't see the picture??
- Zorkon, on 08/27/2008, -0/+31The ad was posted next to a construction site on Robson St. in Vancouver in May of 2002. My girlfriend and I actually took the original photo on our vacation ... and at the time, we wondered about the slips too.
The original, uncropped photo is on my Flickr account here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dr_fyzziks/1734618602 ... - ttamshadbolt, on 08/27/2008, -0/+27wha?! it won't let me digg Steve's comment
- Darkaged, on 08/27/2008, -0/+26OMFG HE'S DIGG-INVINCIBLE
- X9001, on 08/27/2008, -1/+27It sounds like a cute story(assuming its true) until you consider the possibility that she is a schizophrenic
- blinky04, on 08/27/2008, -2/+26Too much.
Better luck next time. - BooostedAWD, on 08/27/2008, -10/+34http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v435/alovelydeat ...
- Nin10dude, on 08/27/2008, -0/+21Maybe we're ALL Steve.
- poet, on 08/27/2008, -5/+25This is from 2002.

"Some sports-drink company called KMX is trying to cash in on community-style postering, by posting cheap photocopied "Apartment for Rent" posters around Toronto. The text on the posters is sort of cryptic and intriguing (something about a haunted house), and there are tear-off tabs at the bottom with a phone number and website.
When you log onto the website (www.kmx.ca), it congratulates you for being curious enough to notice the poster, and says that their product should appeal to creative thinkers like you.
I'm pissed off that I took the time to log onto a commercial, and I will be removing any of these posters that I see from now on. I encourage others to do the same.
The website also asks to you provide feedback. I was going to send a nasty e-mail, but that would likely just provide them with valuable consumer research.
I do admit that the approach is creative. I knew the poster was promoting something other than an apartment, but I thought it would be promoting a cultural event or publication, not a commercial product. By hijacking the typically non-corporate medium of postering (which is now under threat of being legally banned), this commercial venture has offended me. " - jthei, on 08/27/2008, -0/+20you gotta kind of go just above the thumb like the thumbnail region and you can get it - now I'm going to go back to the photo and look really close to the top of the box and see if it works for everything.

- tubbyanimations, on 08/26/2008, -1/+18I remember my imaginary friend helping me through my mid life crisis. They're always there for you, they never judge, they're always as hot or not as you want, and they never buy metropolitan ice cream and leave the strawberry and vanilla to melt.
*sigh* - soupdawg30, on 08/27/2008, -2/+19A company uses non traditional viral advertising and you get pissed? You need to lighten up.
- xXIrsotehkewlXx, on 08/27/2008, -2/+18Well played, sir.
- OJXs, on 08/27/2008, -0/+16Mine always judges :(
I got a prick imaginary friend - digitalpencil, on 08/27/2008, -0/+15ok, now you're freaking me out!
- Lunarparcel, on 08/27/2008, -1/+16Yes, the credibility is in question because it is a pretty complicated sense of how my daughter chose to interact with her imaginary friend. If it hadn't happened in my own house with my own daughter, I probably wouldn't have believed it either.
Here is a clip of her (still at almost 3 years of age) reciting her version of The 3 Little Pigs after having heard it earlier in the day at the library storytime circle.
http://homepage.mac.com/lunarparcel/Lunarparcel_Mo ...
But if you really want a laugh, here is a demonstration of her imagination at 4 years of age when she drew a picture to share. It really took me for a loops, so I shared it on my blog and invited folks to guess as to it's intent for a chance to win some CDs.
Here is the original blog post with a link to the actual photo.
http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog. ...
Here is a followup post that includes the artist's interpretation as told to me by my daughter (although the wording I used to describe her version are my own - she was only 4).
