Complete and utter sellout

Well, friends, I have some bad news.

I noticed some unusual activity near the Purple Pillar of Pointlessness today. I turned to look as I came abreast of our favorite splash of color and they were...

I can hardly bear to say it.

They were...installing letters upon it. Our beloved P3 is no longer. Now it's just a pretty colored sign.

Remember the olden days, when you could enjoy a random three-story purple stucco pillar without the taint of commercialism?

Man, those were the days.
