Nice attitude!



Mannequin at The Hudson's Bay, Vancouver, BC
These mannequins at The Hudson's Bay store in downtown Vancouver have flexible wooden fingers. And human nature being what it is, someone decided that this mannequin needed an attitude adjustment.

When I saw this photo I immediately thought of the famous shot, by Jim Marshall,  taken at Johnny Cash's San Quentin State Prison concert.

According to a story in NME, the photographer, Jim Marshall, "told the San Francisco Art Exchange: "I said, 'John, let’s do a shot for the warden'," before Cash flipped the camera the bird."

I wonder who the "finger" on the mannequin is directed towards? Management or customers?
