Now These Could Be Useful: Pedestrian Penalty Cards
Cory Bortnicker takes a humorous approach to enforcing sidewalk etiquette.
City traffic may be as bad as it's ever been, but navigating city sidewalks is no picnic either. At least now there's a way to enforce proper walking etiquette. Introducing Pedestrian Penalty Cards — tagline: "protecting the sanctity of our sidewalks."
The cards are the brainchild of writer Cory Bortnicker, whose previous projects include the addictive Malcolm Gladwell Book Generator. Bortnicker, who's been in New York about seven years and works in advertising, created the set late last year with the help of illustrator Andy Jimison. (Early warning: many of the cards use semi-NSFW language.)
