The Human Torch Was Denied A Bank Loan
I found this image on a dumpster. Of course, I’ve seen this guy all over town now. Not sure who he is. Anyhow, My curiosity piqued, I googled “The Human Torch Was Denied A Bank Loan”, and lo and behold that meme sure is pervasive.
There is someone on myspace.com with that name, and a ton of web sites. Please send me money, my paypal address is inperspection@gmail.com because, ahem, even the human torch was denied a bank loan!

I thought I was the first to Google “the Human Torch was denied a bank loan” but you beat me to it. I found it hilarious that your blog post was the first thing in the search list. I added a link to it in a photo I have on Flickr of the stencil in question.
