Use Photoshop as a Weapon
In former times you used a pen to disfigure ads you didn’t like - false moustaches come to mind. Nowadays you can complete advertisings in an almost seamless way (see above) - which is kind of interesting as a new form of dialog. As a little background information: Other than a big pile of rubble there is nothing left of the name-giving factory, on which ground these lofts will be built. The former sweet smell of marzipan has been replaced by a stink of false nostalgia in this PR move. Hence the ironic call to be up in arms!

It is not uncommon to find these notices about urine detection devices in Singapore lifts. According to my (local) friend, this is a relic from the time when some rebel citizens, not happy with all the hefty fines being introduced, used the relative safety of the elevators to make themselves heard/smelled in their urge for freedom.
The more interesting question, however, is what would happen if the device was triggered. Would it stop and lock the lift, making it a temporary cell until the police picked you up? Would a piercing alarm bell notify all the regular users of this lift of the culprit? Or would it simply dispense some water and soap to clean the floor? Alas, I did not dare to find out.
Someone in Berlin is clearly not that impressed with this new designer lifestyle all the unrenovated buildings are being dressed in.
