Cardboard sign on Union Street in Pyrmont

Someone give this guy a job! Ad agencies looking for originality and flair should pay attention to this homeless guy who had "cardboard sign" painted in pink on his cardboard sign on Friday morning as he slept on the pavement near the casino. His meta-narrative critiquing the dominant genre of sob-stories you see around the traps demonstrates the essential uselessness of conventional approaches to begging. I snapped this photo on the way to an appointment and on the way back home when I passed him he was sitting with his back against the wall, and I gave him the change I had received when I had paid for my breakfast.
