The view outside my window…

The sign protest of all sign protests HAS to be those on street signs: a government posted item that you are nearly forced to look at if you are going to move safely makes the perfect place to post your PSA. In this specific instance — which I found by simply looking out my window a few weeks ago — the message of the protest is rather unclear. The idea that one can post these protests on a sign and have them stay there and make this sort of lasting impact is, to me, the interesting part. The idea that there can be such a long-lasting message that just stays there and also leaves you thinking is what makes it so powerful. In this one particularly, the color fits right in with the classic STOP sign red and the placement of the words — directly below and still fitting within the octagonal shape — also lead to the power of the protest, as it feels as if it is a part of the sign (or poster) itself.
