A Toynbee-like tile, with a different message was seen embedded in the aspalt as early as September 27th, 2012 (date of placement unknown) on the north side of the intersection at Walnut Street and 4th Street. It has the message:

HOUSE OF HADES
ONE MAN VERSUS
AMERICAN MEDIA
IN SOCIETY 2012
TO PUNISH THEM FOR IT ALL (with red background and somewhat smaller text)

There is also an outline in the upper right which looks like a set of human legs spread out.

According to some sources online, this same message has started to appear around the country as part of a new copycat campaign.
