It Has Been Said; The Devil, You Say?!

Here I am walking down the same street I've been walking down for nearly a year now, and I look over at one of those city map type of things that a person can find in "areas of interest" in just about any city. Sure, it's the same city map that has probably been there for years.... but this day would prove to be different.

Though I am sure that the ad agency which put together the campaign running this advertisement didn't necessarily mean it or mean to.... but they have, without a doubt "fronted" on none other than the Devil.

Coincidently this city map/advert sign is within feet of the finish line for the Boston Marathon, as well.... so in that, they have doubly ratted out the Devil. Fortunately enough for the Devil, I suppose, modern society really has very little capacity for noticing the glaringly obvious.... everything has to be pointed out to them... and comically enough.... which may very well be part of the over all joke here.... such a lack of attention is due largely to the very same type of entities which put forward this current ad campaign that has disclosed the official where-abouts of the address (one of them anyhow) of the Devil.

On one side of this sign, as I have mentioned is a city map to guide tourists or any other that happen to need a map of the local terrain.... on the other side is an advert... seemingly quite direct and simple in nature... seemingly that is.

Upon closer, though subtle observation a person can see exactly what I am talking about. The advert has the words "Childrens Literature" next to an arrow that suggests it is pointing to the Boston Library several feet away on the same side of the street. I say "suggests" because in all reality it is actually pointing to much more than meets the eye immediately.

Yes, it does point to the library.... but it's what else it points to that isn't so obvious, where in I find the humor coupled with the fact that it uses the "childrens literature" section of all things to denote and suggest reading material, and to elude to the library...... as well as something else on the sly.

I should mention that part of this advert uses the same method to point out the finish line of the Boston Marathon as well... which is another interesting aspect.

When a person then looks directly across the street from the position of the sign, and happens to notice the addresses on that (the 'odd') side... my point begins to become much more clear and very amusing on several levels.

It is quite factual that the map/advert sign is placed directly where the street address of 666 Boylston street would be, if it weren't for the size of the library... as the sign itself, lines up directly between the odd addresses across the street of 665 and 667.

This means that not only is the Boston Marathon finish line straight across Boylston street in line with what would otherwise be the Devil's Doorstep, but in this advert, it is suggested subliminally that all of Children's Literature is located at the Devil's house/address. One of them at least, as I am sure that the Devil must have a few "pads" here and there.... it's the Devil for cryin' out loud. If someone like Trump can have more than one residence... I would imagine the Devil does as well.

Further in this amusing and very factual situation, is what that then suggests about authors of the Children's Literature genre' of books?

Does this then suggest that the top selling childrens author, is somehow the Devil? Or perhaps just really "in" with the Devil? Does it make them inherently "evil?"

Perhaps it means that chilrens literature is nothing more than a "hell hole" with a faucet on it? The faucet being the various authors only letting so much of it out at one time?

Though it is that anyone with the ability to influence and control the mind of your child to any degree could be seen as a threat.... I just can't bring myself to think that they would rank as the Devil.... maybe minor demons, even on the best seller list.... but the Devil himself? Not a chance.

How could they be more of an influence than the media itself? No chance of Dick and Jane being the Devil... sorry... just isn't going to happen, J.K.... Jim Carey; stop kidding yourself....

No offense.... but my grandma was scarier... and all she did was "expunge" and read tea leaves.

But maybe they think that is part of their advantage as such "wicked" creatures? Looking all nicey nice.....

Not a chance.

With that, I guess I would have to discern that perhaps childrens literature has a special place in the Devil's collection... and of course, that childrens literature resides at 666 Boylston Street, Boston, Ma.
