As I was doing some housekeeping on my pc, I came a cross an old link, one I hadn't visited in a while. It's a shame, because this site is one of the best I've seen that really shows the human condition, culture, and society.
The site I'm talking about is FOUND.
FOUND is essentially a database of stuff. Stuff that's been discarded, lost, or forgotten, and once again found - but not by the original owner, or recipient. This rediscovered stuff - notes, letters, pictures, signs, etc. - are sent in by the finder, sometimes with a comment. The website allows viewers to leave their comments and observations.
You never know what you'll see next, and often the language is vulgar. At one time, this type of language wasn't socially, or publicly acceptable. Today it's tolerated, and in a lot of cases, accepted as proper expression.
Sometimes sad, sometimes funny, it makes a good study of who we are. FOUND is a look in the mirror of society.
The human condition.
