Inside Copy - The Mayor That Found His Own Face on a Dartboard

A small-town Ontario mayor walked into a thrift store and found something with his own face on it, built for exactly one purpose. He's decided to keep it in his office instead of getting rid of it, which says more about him than the dartboard does. A kindergarten teacher in Philadelphia went viral this week for a low-key classroom fix nobody saw coming, aimed at one specific kind of disruption that every teacher deals with and nobody wants to talk about directly. It's simple, it works, and kids seem to love it more than she expected. Then there's the app that quietly became the most downloaded free download in North America this week, decades after most people assumed it was dead. The reason has nothing to do with directions and everything to do with a story that got very strange, very fast.
