iQdoU? Billboards Proliferate NYC, Has Roots in Canada?

Adrants reader Amy sent us a shot of these iQdoU? billboards and asked if we knew what this is all about.

After some intelligent sleuthing (read: consulting Google), we found a cliffhanger-style website that invites the inquisitive to “unwrap the secret” on September 23rd.

Dissatisfied with that, and with the crappy think-tank music, we checked the meta tags, where we found terms like “celebrity shopping” and “seen on celebrities.”

Curiouser and curiouser. So we hit GoDaddy to find out who owned the URL. iQdoU.com is registered to CSC Dorporate Domains. Dorporate Domains?!

We did manage to find a CSC Corporate Domains in Yarmouth, whose corporate ideology is, “We are in the business of making business itself possible.”

Talk about a bullshit manifesto. Well, if you can play detective better than we can, by all means, let us know what you discover.

Our best guess is that Canada is finally going to invade in the way we’ve always expected: by slyly confusing us before moving in for the kill. Those Mother-Country-loving, silly-underpants-wearing bastards!

Just kidding. Kind of.

Psychology says the person who is kind to everyone and close to no one isn’t always lacking in the capacity for intimacy — they’re managing their exposure to it, and management and intimacy are fundamentally incompatible, which is why the closeness they’re managing against never quite arrives
