Lame.

Who dumps a mattress in a park?

Perhaps this was some high-concept way of mocking the inadequacy of Cal Anderson’s trash cans (there are definitely too few of them), or an attempt at taunting the homeless people who sleep on the grass nearby. But I doubt it. Probably just hyper-aggressive littering. Lame.

If it was at Volunteer Park then the mattress would have a whole different meaning...

Yeah those trash cans are art as well. You didn't know?

Obviously it art...a new display to being awareness to people sleeping in Cal Anderson Park.

Remember, things like this are what the Red Bushies stand for.

As opposed to a just and true society.

You guys could send out your public intern to do a story on all the illegal dumping that goes on in this city's parks.

@7: Agreed. And/or have him organize a cleanup.

I'm going to have to blame the sluts for this one.

or maybe it's a leftover prop from a Hump film set?

who are you to judge? perhaps it is a "donation" for the hobos who sleep in the grass nearby? this person was clearly commiting an act of unbridled humanitarianism.

What does this have to do with The Cha-Cha or Band of Horses?

I'm sure we can DNA test who illegally dumped the mattress. And as a bonus - see who they've slept with...

Where's that public intern been anyway? He did the bus, but since then, he's disappeared...

It belongs to the same person who imagines a passerby would want his discarded monitor, mildewed sofa or broken bookcase. A Tom and Daisy Buchanan person - except lame and lazy.

Werd, Number 13. I'm still trying to figure out what happened to Stranger's Worst Enemy.....

The public intern could always find out where these things go? I never see the garbage get dumped and I never see it leave. Who takes those couches on the side of the road?
