Flooded Lizard Kingdom

I have always wanted to fuck up billboards. My top targets would tanning salons and that horrifying "vaginal reconstruction" place in San Antonio that advertises in Austin.

But I am neither brave nor bold. So I share these instead of doing it myself.

First, This is How To Do It.

Also see Exo Dis! for an online example

Finally, Subversive Road Signs Ahead.

If you're like me, you're fantasizing about a 10 foot ladder right now...

For the purposes of this joke, the word "OOL" means "cube."

This sign was around for two weeks:

Then these appeared:

This is my souvenir from NYC, where C-Man is currently vacationing. Have I mentioned how much I love this man?

Editor's Note: For those of you who are mystified by the image, go here. Or ignore it. Totally up to you, no hard feelings either way.

I had seen a brief email about sorryeverybody.com and apologiesaccepted.com, so when I saw this billboard:

...I connected it with those projects in my mind. But it's not that at all.

Instead, it says this:

Dear Everyone,

We are sorry. As Christians, we are instructed to love everyone unconditionally. We know there are many people who claim the name of Christ but don't show the love He instructed us to.

For every time we have judged you, we are sorry. For every time we have hated you, we are sorry. For any and every time you have experienced anything but unconditional love and respect as a beautiful creature of God, we are sorry.

We see the way you have been treated and it hurts us because we love and respect you. We offer no excuses, just our sincere apology.

-The Christians

Hmm. Not sure what to make of it. I'd rather get respect as a human being instead of being forced into someone else's conception that all humans are beautiful creatures of God, but that's a minor complaint.

(For those of you in Austin, this billboard is in the parking lot of the Kerbey Lane on Guadalupe, where the Marines' recruiting billboard used to get defaced on a regular basis.)

The problem with my shiny new RSS reader: it's too easy for me to find fabulous posts that I want to share.

A commenter on Formica suggested this: "...maybe we should call for large marriages where het and lesbian and gay couples get married enmasse. To show that no one's nuptials will be harmed by being in the presence of same sex couples showing and formalizing their love for each other."

Josh Marshall examined the logic of not letting gays marry because of AIDS and proposed a more rational solution.

Merlin made another great list at 5ives.

A boy and his computer has a list of the Top 12 reasons Homosexual Marriage Should not be Legal.

Idle Type linked to a fabulous e-mail exchange between Dean Cameron and a Nigerian scammer. I need to find out more about who Dean Cameron is, obviously.

Kieran Healy made an insightful comment about our President that made me feel better about the whole thing for at least a minute.

Tbogg contributed to society by brainstorming new slogans for the Bush Administration.

And finally, Pacific Views showed me my favorite sign ever.
