I was walking to my job in the SOMA district of San Francisco one morning, and I came across a strange poster. The content was completely off the wall — according to the poster, there was a camera that could see through time.
A few days later, I saw a similar advertisement for speaking to dolphins.
Finally, I came across this poster for recording your memories to a VHS tape.
It was no surprise that all three posters had similar contact information and lead to the same people.
Who was behind these crazy ads?
The Jejune Institute.
I won’t try to describe what the Jejune Institute is, but I’ll allow their leader, Octavio Coleman, Esquire, to explain:
I highly recommend visiting; I don’t want to give anything away, but it’s an experience you won’t soon forget, to say the least.
