Love the evicted snowman.
Even the snowman can't pay his bills...
"Embracing the Road" seems like it'd be a great basis for a screamer site.
@weakdome: My thoughts exactly. There's really nothing interesting about the other three pictures at all.
Nykoh's photo makes me have flashbacks of when I was a cashier. I can just imagine that lady saying, BTW, I have coupons.
Gingerbread house is awesome.
Also note the coin deposit chain on the metal cart.
Guess the poor snowman just didn't have the dough to keep up the payments...
@weakdome: i can think of half a dozen stories off the top of my head that the elderly woman at the checkout would be useful for. too bad it's not a pharmacy counter....
I wouldn't assume that woman at the register had signed a photo release unless you saw one. It looks as though she wasn't aware her photo was being taken. So if the Consumerist makes money from ads placed on the Friday Flickr Finds, then you are making money by using the image of a person who did not sign a model release, most likely.
@catastrophegirl: I can think of some, but that doesn't change the fact that it's *extremely* crooked and VERY hard to look at, plus, she's what - in a liquor store? And, what the hell is she really standing in front of? It sort of looks like a self-checkout, but it's hard to tell given the composition... it's just not a *great* photo.
They're all really good, but I have a thing for snowmen... And political commentary. Put the two together, and I'm obliged to vote.
Poor Snowman...not only will he lose his house, but soon someone will come along and eat it.
Thanks for voting for my gingerbread house everyone. It is currently being eaten by "The Man" and other fat cats. haha.
"check out" is my fave. I like how it shows that people still have to buy stuff one way or the other, and my eyes like the red all over the place.
forclosure, easy winner, hands down.
runner up: the no-talking one.
the rest are... sort of boring, actually, and maybe i'm not feeling very creative, but they don't seem to be VERY useful.
