Pirates of the Eaton Centre
Have you ever seen these guys around Eaton Centre / University Ave area? Perhaps I hang out in all the wrong places, but I see them all the time and I don’t like them! In my opinion, the only difference between these junk salesmen and the Pirates of the Caribbean – these guys let you walk away. What they do is offer you a brochure about Black History, and then if you stop by, just for a second, they engage in a full fledge discussion on the importance of history and yabayabayaba… Then, when you just want to get going, you grab a brochure, just to find out they actually want to charge $10 for it! Seriously, these guys are selling for $10 information that is probably available on Wikipedia!
I don’t mind donating to Wikipedia for the vast amount of resources that it offers, but I do have a problem when some guys shove information into my face and then demand that I pay for it. What do you think?
