Default What's with:
The pixelated boxer painted on the overpass on Glenmore westbound, right before Crowchild?
I've seen a couple more pics similar to this one around as well.

The group of people (2-3) praying (?) at the NE intersection of Crowchild and 5th Ave NW, each morning during rush hour?

Maybe. There is an unmarked building there that looks like an old school-house. There were abortion protesters outside Sir Winston Churchill HS today.

I haven't seen the aforementioned boxer, but is it Little Mac from Punch-Out?

I actually think I saw this the other day. It looks too perfect to be painted and looks more like a sticker/painted sign or something of that ilk.

Boxer? It's MegaMan!


Why is he there? No clue.

Yah.. it does look like a sticker.

It's more like the second one... the first one has too much definition.

Am I the only one who reads that as "pixelated boner," and thought, "must be Japanese?"

Yes? In that case, forget I said anything.

No, like he says, it is the second one; thats megaman. I noticed it a week or so ago and I also have no idea why they're there.

I guess it is MegaMan... It threw me off because the sticker is black and white.

So that answers half my question. Now can someone tell me why someone would be tagging carols Calgary structures with Japanese video game characters?

Isn't that megaman? Looks like megaman from MM 2 and 3. And that would be why he's pixelated.

And he's probably just hanging out for fun. Or to save us from fireman.

It's pretty obvious why he's there. Pretty soon the jumping fish on the Glenmore/5th Street/Elbow interchange will be taken out one by one by his mega buster. After defeating them, he will be able to use a weapon that enables him to walk on water. From there, he will be able to move in on the lions on the Centre Street bridge. Motorists on Glenmore Trail and Centre Street are advised to watch out for falling objects which may resemble any of the following:
