Chris saw this in a Toronto Alley. I don't know what he was doing hanging out there, maybe he was participating in the performance art piece that is scripted here.

I'd get a headache if someone assigned me to proofread that. "SKK"?
What looks like "SKK" is actually the word "SICK"... they are sick of loiterers littering in the alley.
My favorite part: "owner", meaning, "I'm a minimum-wage-earning minion but I act like I own the place."
How about the misuse of "your"
I love it. Unnecessary quotes? Check. Passive voice? Check. Misspelled words? Check. Delicious irony of vandalizing own property to admonish loiterers? Check.
That's a lot of quotation marks..
Aargh!
The person who wrote that isn't too swift with spelling either.
Proofreading in the can might not be the proper place, but it would be nice if our schools would provide more training in English grammar and spelling.
