(Update: Fixed it for ya!)

I noticed these new iWatchLA LAPD posters around the parking garage at Los Angeles International Airport this week.

I'm not suggesting CNN is in cahoots with the LAPD (or Apple) over the use of "i" before other words, just getting a chuckle out of this otherwise creepy poster.

I think the only thing really suspicious in that poster inset at left is that the designer chose a stock photo of a guy standing next to a subway train. As if we had decent public transport in Los Angeles! Flickr photoset link.
