Has anyone else seen these stickers?



They are on quite a few signs in my city, but a search for that phrase on Google gets zero hits. I don't remember the last time I got zero hits on Google. So, anyone have any idea what this is about? Or is it just local graffiti, moving on to stickers instead of spraypaint?

It seems like a bit of harmless fun more than a campaign. Still, a campaign about such a thing would likely be very popular among women. And some flamboyant men.

There's a sticker on a traffic sign around the corner from my house that read something like "What happened to building 7?" (referring to 9/11 conspiracy theories). It seems like street signs provide a public canvas for ideas, though I suspect it might be considered vandalism.

It is vandalism. Now, I am by no means a hard ass with a flag pole up my p**per but I have to say, how is this different from this?

It can't be that suggestive and be in public. It's just too adult. Granted the word "cum" means nothing, I dare say that it could be found in various dictionaries and kids are bound to look it up if they were to read it somewhere. Censorship is there for a reason. Not to prevent anything from being published but to administer appropriate learning at appropriate times.

I maintain, there is a time and place for everything.

EDIT: I honked .... what does that make me?

fresnelly

I'm honkin' it right now!

no, wait...

It is very concerning to see this sexually suggestive sticker placed on a school bus sign.

Could be a schoolyard prank, or maybe some paedophilia ring.

Hopefully the local law are going into this very hard.

Probably this. There's a whole subculture of sticker kids amongst kids who do graffiti. It's generally viewed as kind of cowardly or child's play, since it's quicker, easier to remove, and there's less exposure time....except in cases of very large paste-ups or clever billboard edits.

Meh. Sort of funny the first time. Not as funny the second. Would probably be background noise the third. If you're going to spend money on stickers, at least have the common decency to make them humourous past the first reading. This strikes me as the ninja humor version of watching "The Crying Game" for the third time.

There does seem to be a plethora of sticker vandalism going on these days, I saw one today on a mailbox that said "9/11 was an inside job!"

Um, I think it's just some harmless fun. Not clever though.

Recently, I've seen some really clever graffiti on those "Stop for me it's the law" signs, that have pedestrians in a walking pose. It gets changed to "Stop for me it's the Claw", and they draw a little claw on the pedestrian's hand. At least that's clever.

Something clever I've seen around UMass in the past is as follows:

Obviously, these signs are all over the place:



Soon enough, every single one of them became this, actual can taped on there [excuse my shitty rendition]:

I like when people put those red stickers on stop signs that say things like "war", or "baby murdering", etc.

One time I saw one that said "killing chickens" on a stop sign right next to KFC. It made me laugh.

Perhaps I'm a little easy to amuse...
