Where in the World is Jeremy Petter?
Where in the World is Jeremy Petter?
So I was at work today, and an interesting idea occurred to me.
Jer is dealing with Morgan's Missing Person posters popping up all over the place, but knowing Morgan, there's no telling exactly how far afield he managed to post them. So if someone in the crew would be willing to put the poster somewhere for people to print out, how about we try and have everyone send in photos of themselves finding a Jer poster in their home town.
If you live near any immediately recognisable landmarks, you could try and get them in the shot, just to show how far around the world the LRR community really is. Or, lacking major landmarks, just try to find some interesting, unique corner of your town and take a picture there.
Now, obviously many of us could just photoshop a pic, but I think this would be far more impressive if we could get as much real photography as possible.
So, anyone interested?
Edit: To clarify, I'm not suggesting that the posters actually be left around town. This is more in the nature of a staged shot; You bring the poster, stick it somewhere, photograph yourself finding it (maybe calling the number), and then you remove the poster when you leave.

hell, i'd do it.
edit: perth has no landmarks. haw. oh wait, an ugly-ass bell tower. be happy to litter the poles and alleys with them, though. unfortunately the crew couldn't technically be behind it, to avoid any legal issues, but if the image was to be on the site and people just happened to use it, no harm done.

I don't think the intent of the OP was for us to actually put them up in many places, so much as to do a kind of "Where in the world is Monk?" thing, where people take pictures of themselves with a Monk bobble-head doll from wherever they live.
EG: I would do one of me finding the poster on the Staten Island Ferry, but I wouldn't be posting the fliers around the SI ferry.

Not only does this sound freaking amazingly fun but I would put one up in my room for the fun of it
Heck if I ever have the money I would take it down to a print place and blow it up and turn it into a poster, can someone say fun times abound.
It would also be fun to see the insane places we put them up. Please Graham will you let us do it PWEASE *Puppy dog eyes*

If I ever come up with something witty or interesting I'm not going to display it in plain sight for you buffoons to steal away.

I'm in. I nearly objected but as long as the posts are for a photo-op thing & not intended to be left up any longer than that it sounds like a fun idea.

Thanks, I've got ideas too. Not sure if this sits well with anyone but the next time I see a 'god botherer' in town I'll hand one to them.

I doubt it, if it's a kind of viral (I think that's the right word) advertisement place in the right places it will be fine. I've seen a few but people put up missing cat posters all the time so I should be okay. Also I know how to make a ninja mask out of a tshirt so I'll be okay once that's combined with a room key card.
Also I don't like getting in trouble so I'd be very careful.

I'd say if you're going to put them up and leave them up, for the phone number put in a 555- number so people know that its not a real number... but the best bet is to not leave it up, we don't want LRR to get in trouble

This is probably something that should be made painfully clear.
This is a fun thing to make pictures. In other words, staged photos.
Put your poster up in a funny place (In someone's hands, attached to a local landmark, attached to a local landperson, whatever), then take a funny picture, then collect the poster and take it with you.
It is not cool to leave fake missing persons posters around unless they're for Mickey Mouse, Dogbert or some other fictional being. You can, and should, get in trouble for that kind of thing.

If I get my hands on one of those Missing posters I'd probably edit it, "Last Seen At www.loadingreadyrun.com. Please go there and try to find him."

If some of you guys are intent on posting them places, we should probably change the headline from "Missing Person" to something like "Help Find Our Missing Crewman" or "Missing LRRmon" and add in a url for the website
Something to make it more of a joke. Missing Person posters are usually taken very seriously (Just look at all the irrate people Jer's been dealing with)
Hey crazy thought, this could also be used to promote Desert Bus?!?!
