The wonders of computational retards trying to sound hip!

"I'm gonna get on-line and download some trouble from God. I'm almost out."

There are thousands around here, but for some reason I only remember the dumbest one:

"The ability to lie is a liability."

ok, i gotta tell you guys this cuz it was hysterical (and my mom was so proud of me she almost cried when i told her)...

there is a women's clinic near my house that always has anti-abortionists with signs outside of it. my mom always stops & pulls out the signs & throws them in the back of her car when they leave them there.

so i was driving by the other day & there were 3 signs on wooden stakes on the opposite side of the road that all said "babies killed here".

i tell you what, those anti-abortionists were mighty pissed when my big black suburban ran all three signs down! LMAO!!

i figure if they have the right to put such hideous things up for my kids to read when we drive by, then i have the right to run them down. hey freedom of expression right?

Scene: Members of an ultra-fundie bible group are protesting outside another ultra-fundie group's church building because of some difference in doctrine concerning baptism. The protesters are yelling and screaming at the top of their lungs and waving bibles. Their little indoctrinated tykes with them are mimicking Mommy and Daddy.

Marquee sign on the church: Blessed are the peacemakers.

Somehow this seemed funnier at the time than it does reading it now...

That's hilarious!

Kitkit, as long as you didn't risk any lives/damage property (apart from the signs) that's hilarious. It wasn't really religious, but I did a sort of similiar thing. A group home for recovering substance abusers moved into my area. The inhabitants were all cleaned up people without violent histories. Anyway, 90%+ of the immigrants from Hong Kong in my neighborhood went absolutely apeshit, putting up signs, protesting outside the local newspaper for not taking their side 100%, heckling the poor guys from the house, harassing everybody, yelling on megaphones, etc. I suspect they were mostly worried about property values (in a neighborhood underneath the nearby international airports flight path and surrounded by noisy freeways and highways ) and if that was it they did any damage there was to be done. Anyway, I respect people's right to free expression, but these people were just plain being assholes and were also violating laws (putting up signs in the public park and leaving them there, making threatening phone calls to the home, etc).

Anyway, the god damned signs were everywhere. Finally, they (illegally) put up a massive billboard like sign directly opposite to the house, on public property (not the park btw) saying something like "GO AWAY!" followed by a little diatribe in smaller letters. Nobody came to remove the sign from the public property. They'd secured it well, made it from good materials, etc. So one night I walked up to the thing with a can of pain in hand and wrote along the bottom, in fairly large red letters "This is a sign of ignorance." Man, that felt good.

But often dumb-looking if you ask me (I suppose that's common in babies, other than mine of course!)

Have you seen the one where the little white baby in denims informs us he got his "genes" at conception? (Barf!)

Aargh, yes. You gotta wonder where these idiots come from.

I can think of a couple of signs on 316 the highway between atlanta and athens, where uga is for people not from ga, that really irritate me

I dont doubt your existence.

I hate those Gawd ads. Why does he need a PR campaign if he's the Creator? If he's going to run some ads, how about blazing fiery letters cut into the side of a mountain? Like:

Pay no attention to anyone pretending to speak for me
-- God

or

Sorry for the inconvenience...
-- God

There used to be a lot of those Gawd billboards around here in Virginia, but either I've subconsciously learned to block them out or they've fallen out of fashion.

If I had the money I'd be inclined to get some select items from the Photoshoppery thread and make billboards ads of them...

my town seems to have an over-abundance of church marquee signs. some of them make no sense at all, for instance
'see what god is doing in indonesia!'

others just seem to be there to irk everyone who doesn't go to their church like
'christianity: reasonable faith
atheism: blind faith'
and
'let the kids choose their own religion?'
