I Have the Right
FOUND by Greg Overton
in Baltimore, Maryland
I found this drawing at Patterson Park. I don't think this needs a big story behind it; it seems to speak volumes on so many levels.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
sounds like my last boyfriend.
I wonder does any one ever get any found tattoos?
is he playng video games, or urinating on the TV set from the chair?
The video game youth of America has spoken! They will "do wate they wint!" Yes, speaks volumes!
Whatever! I do what I want!
SO THERE!!!!
This looks just like my notes from when I was a kid - p l e n t y o f r o o m between the letters at the beginning until I suddenly ran out and had to squishalltheletterstogether at the end.
I like how when you're little and you're writing and begin to run out of space, you don't think to finish your sentence below, rather than squishing it.
This is my absolute favorite. I love it.
You don't oooown me!
I shall forever have the right to clothes-line you with the cord to my video game controller! Now run at it! Run at it!!!
As an almost-teacher, I can just visualise how this went down. It started as a self-esteem building activity where the kids had to draw and write about their rights...and it all went wrong.
Teacher: What'd you learn today Frank?
Frank: That I should be allowed to play video games all day and night.
Teacher: *wondering where his/her nice activity went* Oh....excellent.
I still squish my letters together instead of starting anewlinetoo.
That doesn't look as much like a TV to me as it does a very evil wood stove.
I thought it was Santa Claus and Rudolf - oh well...
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaha! it looks like he's peeing!!!!!!!!
lmfao!
i bet this kid has an arguement with his parents - they won't let him play video games and sent him to his room and as an act of protest he wrote them this note. i used to do that shit all the time when i was pissed off...
I thought it was a lighter and a cigarette.
I LOVE it. This is a future author if I've ever seen one. He'll probably illustrate it, too. Good luck kid.
I used to write notes like that to my mom when I was 4 years old. This find speaks to me in such a nostalgic way.
I think that this is a picture of Father Christmas in his sleigh with a reindeer in front, so I reckon that this child was fed up with his parents threat that if he didnt behave he woudlnt get anything at christmas and was letting them know he was not going to be emotionally blackmailed anymore.
oh looks like im not the only one Brian and me-totally on the same page
I thought it was a kid in a washing machine trying to pull himself out with a rope that's tied to a bookshelf.
It's a skeleton in a flying teapot who lassoed a building; and now he's gonna pull the building over. obviously.
It says "I have the right to do what I want"
The picture is of a child playing video games. Couldn't have said it better myself.
Beka,
Your comment made me laugh so hard I almost spewed my Diet Coke! I STILL do the same thing! I think thats one reason that I prefer typing.
"you're not the boss of meeee!"
Golly, Jimmy, thanks for explaining it to everyone.
I like how the kid in the picture seems to be looking right at us, defiantly- not even looking at the video action on the tv screen.
But if I was at work I'd like to give my boss this note! I like that the telly has legs like the one I had when I was a little girl and not a cabinet to sit on as most do these days.
"What are you gonna do with your life?"
Kelly: "I'm going to get what I want!"
"Shoes."
I thought this was Spiderman taking the day off, using his web to change the channel.
I love how its obviously a video game, but it could equally be a crude chariot.
I CAN DO WHAT I WANT *whip crack*
This is exactly why so many kids can't read or pay attention in class.... they're addicted to video games. You can't imagine how many boys especially, say every Monday that this is all they did ALL weekend. And they don't do their reading homework because they were doing video games. Parents, get your own butts off the computer and get your kid into sports, and take him to the public library every now and then.

LMAO, you all had me in tears.
oh my god best comments ever. i love this found. you guys are hilarious.
When I first saw it I was positive it was Spider - Man in a HUGE top-loading washing machine who was now pulling a building into the soapy depths of his machine.
But I freaking love Johnny's explanation.
This find reminds me of Memorex commercials, "Is it live, or is it Memorex?"
My bad. Maxell.
Terrie,
Memorex.
Right the first time.
Jonathan, at first I thought it was Memorex, but then I found the Maxell commercial on youtube.

Ah, well, the kid who drew this picture has probably never heard of cassettes anyway.
Awesome commercial! And the kid in this pic does look like that dude!!
I think there was a Maxell or Memorex commercial with footage from
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxTZ446tbzE
the Tacoma Narrows Brige collapse- but I couldn't find the commercial on YouTube. Anyone remember it?
This is kinda unrelated, but one time, a year or two ago, my in his 50's-very refined uncle and my mother were having a fight about where to go for dinner and he ended it by telling her "You're not the boss of me!!"
This looks like something my child would endorse. He's what I call a "vidiot". Not that my child is stupid, he just LOVES his video games!
Ha!
That's so great!
It reminds me of my boys who just cannot conceive of a life without video games...
