SALT LAKE CITY — A message that has been showing up on city streets around the world recently popped up in Salt Lake City. It’s a mysterious image known as a Toynbee Tile, a small square containing a cryptic message for the public.
The image has been painted onto roadways for decades, but to date, no one has been able to figure out who is behind it all.
Recently, one appeared at the intersection of State Street and 200 South, conveying a message that read, “House of Hades. Tiles made from the ground bones of dead journalists.”
The quote has been appearing on painted tiles for years, but is actually a copycat of the original tile, which is believed to have first been painted on the streets of Philadelphia in the ‘80s.
“The mystery of it all, that’s the hook,” said Aaron Ballard, who was passing by the intersection in downtown Salt Lake.
In 2011, a documentary titled “Resurrect Dead” followed the efforts of a group from Philadelphia who attempted to uncover the mystery surrounding the tiles. According to their research, the original Toynbee Tile may have come from a man who believed in the theories of a historian named Arthur Toynbee, who wrote that life could be resurrected.

As someone who used to work in the biz, I can say you are are dead on right with your characterization. Most of the so-called "journalists" I worked with were literally incapable of doing more than re-writing press releases. They knew nothing except for what the PR hacks and the AP wires told them.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
The lady in the video mentions that you can order samples of linoleum online and they will send them to you for FREE! If I was a linoleum salesman I would kick her square in the butt. Aint nothin free.
Look at the thick cushion they have Stephanopoulos sitting on so he appears to be the same height as the much taller Zimmerman attorneys.
I wonder if his feet reach the floor?

Good eye! Yeah, he is a puny fairy, isn’t he?

I worked in the print media and radio for 20 years. In defense of the profession, I have to say that you understate the situation.
