As the title may indicate, the article below is about an interesting new form of social commentary, or marketing, or annoyance, or all manner of other things. “Shopdropping” (also known as “Droplifting”) is the act of putting new stuff into a store (as opposed to shoplifting, which is taking things out). Documented uses include marketing one’s own product, social commentary, blunt illegality, and so forth (the article has lots of cool images and videos).
My own take on this would probably be technological; I’d very likely drop something like Ubuntu CDs in pretty packaging, for the sake of spreading usage of the OS; or even something like The Open CD (even though it’s no longer in active development), for incurable Windows users. In any case, enjoy (and include me on any good ideas… the Contact page is a great place for this)!
