Taken with my trusty Motorola cel phone walking home from work today. Does this serve to underscore the extent to which all aspects of life are being politicized, or - does it instead serve to cast light on the problem of urban defacement of public property?

And do any of you have similar photos (I'm fishing for ones you've snapped yourself, not stuff you found on Google Image) - photos of what could either be construed as street-level disenchantment or as simple vandalism?

Opine. Link in. Take a load off. Maybe laugh a little.

Go on, things could be worse.

Cool picture; where is that?

it serves to highlight the lack of grammatical correctness in roadsigns :p

And a sign that our schools aren't teaching proper grammar.

That's the Esplanade - about a block west of Church St, on the south side heading east.

Make a point without committing a crime. What they did was stupid. I do disagree with them, but if it wasn't vandalism I wouldn't care.

indirectly i suppose. or is that a dig at me cuz i don't know some grammar which that sign is using correctly? *wishes for smiley with interrorgatively raised eyebrow*

Meh it's just some vandalism done by teenagers who try to be "political".

It's disgusting how people are defacing public property -- it's no better than writing it on the library wall. If you want to do something like that, buy your own sign, but don't mess with the one my tax money pays for.

No, it wasn't a dig at you, but rather an extension on your comment.

heh... cool. I'll look for it before Miller "sweeps" it clean (if he does).

Chill dude - your tax money didn't pay for bumpkiss; that sign is sitting on a pole in my city - and unless you've relocated to the GTA, you're not from here.

Unfortunately, that is not the only sign that has been grossly vandalized by people whose political points are bisyllabic. There are some in my town, too.

cool new york graffiti website. nice tags, cool photos.

Edit, totally not stuff i took myself, but I know the artist. I did not google it. I also have seen alot of the graffiti that is in Brooklyn, I like to look for cool graffiti, but I don't own a camera.

I don't like the stop bush. I put Hammertime under a stopsign in boston a year ago. It got replaced though :(.

Why did it quote Dobbs too?

Fair enough. Kudos for the link, though.

Because Jolt loves me?

I took this one a few weeks back, also on the way home from work - in some ways it's a companion piece to the image I led the thread off with.

Opine. Link in. Take a load off. Maybe laugh a little.

Go on, things could be worse.Someone put a "THE WAR" sticker on a stop sign at the local shopping center. It would have been funnier if I hadn't seen something like it before, but thanks anyway :)

They just keep doing that

Is it just me, or is Jolt sucking somewhat more strenuously this evening? I feel like I'm in a windtunnel here...

Jolt could suck start a Harley tonight. Its worth what is paid for it though.

...or is it more like an echo chamber?

Hmm.

Too true.

My son lives down there and has probably seen that sign. I just emailed it to him. :D

Jolt is sucking....had to use the back door to get in. :(

Ha, all the way over here in a small suburb of Christchurch, New Zealand, there is a stop sign with "Bush" on it as well. And yes, he isn't even our president.

It simply goes to show that the dirty left-wing un-American Bush-Bashing hippies have no respect for law and order.

Yeah, they come up mostly for the dope. I can't go three blocks without running into patchouli-soaked American hippies spraypainting stop signs and burning the POTUS in effigy, y'know. But mostly, they come up for the dope.

Not related to politics, but you might find it funny anyway. (http://tfyp.uni.cc/images/Misc/fart_sign.jpg) Before a piece was torn off, it originally said "INFART".

What ever happened to articulate conservatives?

-snip image of stop sign-


Thats an all too familiar image from around here. evidently hicks don't have anything better to do than to shoot up crap when drunk.

Damn it. We have much better rod sign grafitti here.

There's:

Stop Hammertime

Slow For Retarded Children

5000 KG MAX, best start Atkins

etc.

The only photos I've taken on my mobile's camera are ones of a Kookaburra, Crimson Rosella & King Parrot. Probably not what you're looking for.

I happen to agree with the sign.....

They make a bumper sticker that's white writing on a red background that says "Bush's wars" for the express purpose of putting it on stopsigns. Rather amusing.

I enjoy the things like "LIES" scribbled across the cover to the honor-boxes that sell the newspapers.

Also, an awesome peice of vandalism. I live on the third floor of my dorm, and there is a sign that reads:
LEVEL 3

Some rather genius kid burned off the first L and the prongs of the second E, so now it reads:

EVI L 3

It never gets old :p

Took this pic near my hotel in Boston.

I happen to agree with the sign.....

I walked home with a friend tonight and pointed out the sign. I mentioned I'd photographed it and posted a thread on NSG about it. He told me flat out he was 'worried about me'.

I asked him why he was worried - he didn't have anything tangible at hand - but he seemed to feel I was somehow tempting Fate, what with the times being as dark as they are - politically speaking.

I'm worried about him -- perhaps he should seek professional help for his paranoia.
