No need to be Board

As the writer of Doctor Who was signing for fans in the Hayes’ Waterstone’s, the message “Bad Wolf,” a reference to the latest Doctor Who series appeared on the electronic sign outside. The sign allows passers-by to text any message to the screen, to be read by passers-by.

The Big Issue seller was given a helping hand by a message that read, “Big Issue for sale here. Please buy one.” Extreme amusement was also provided by a message that read, “Good Morning Cardiff. Big Brother is watching. Look behind you.” Seeing people spin around to find someone watching them is all too amusing.

Mr and Mrs Williams from Cardiff stopped to make sense of the exhibit. “It’s a strange novelty, that’s for sure. I thought it was something to do with the rugby,” said Mrs Williams.

Although the power trip you get from watching someone respond to your message is a little disturbing, this exhibit is great fun. It’s on from 10am – 11pm Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th October. To find out more go to May You Live in Interesting Times.
