Have you seen these red and yellow birds hanging around S.F.?
Hey Readers. You're smart. So tell us all what's up with these things all over town. Or if you don't know, we have some clues for you. After the jump.
Another sighting here, but Kiwanja thinks they're made of cardboard.
Could this be a viral marketing strategy from the Master Lock company? They're not averse to experimenting with ads. (One of the locks was set to the number "16". We're getting a raging clue right now. Mmmmm)
Or maybe it's another kind of advertising campaign, like an unplugged version of the infamous Aqua Teen Hunger Force effort from earlier in the year.
Tell us if you know. Otherwise we're gonna have restless nights when our Napien runs out. Oh sleep! it is a gentle thing
We have reliable reports of sightings near the following intersections.
Park Presidio and Fulton
3rd St. and Howard
Mission and 1st St.
Market and Octavia
Geary and 45th
Where will they be next?
At length we heard a wooden bird
Thorough the fog it came;
As if it had been a Christian soul,
We hailed it in God's name.
