Prankster hacks into downtown construction sign, but officials not laughing

Postby Sheenar » Wed Mar 16, 2011 1:26 pm

This happened here in Houston this past week:


The Monday morning message attracted plenty of attention, but it was the four-letter word a few days ago that really had people laughing out loud.



News article


The person did confess to officials, but charges are pending:

Updated news article
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

"Since the creation of the Internet, the Earth's rotation has been fueled, primarily, by the collective spinning of English teachers in their graves."

It is funny, but it'd go a lot better if they got permission first. Course, if I owned the sign company I'd be doing that anyways. XD

Ok, so if this were legal, then what do you think people should put up on these signs, whether for comedy or some other beneficial aspect?

Reminds me of a prank a couple of friends in my youth group and I pulled, back when. We were at a youth conference in the middle of winter, and our host family's house was just across the street from the church where it was held. There was a big hill in front of the church so you had to go up it to get there. Well, we were out of the house one night and we went to the hill and tracked the word "POOP" really huge in the snow. The next morning everyone saw it. It was awesome.

Only problem was, we also tracked our footprints from the hill straight back to our host family's house. I guess they were pretty fried but they had the grace not to yell at us or anything.

[color="DarkOrange"]"The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things... hey... the good things don't always soften the bad things; but vice-versa the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things and make them unimportant." -11th Doctor

"The advice I like to give young artists, or really anybody who’ll listen to me, is not to wait around for inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself. Things occur to you. If you’re sitting around trying to dream up a great art idea, you can sit there a long time before anything happens. But if you just get to work, something will occur to you and something else will occur to you and something else that you reject will push you in another direction. Inspiration is absolutely unnecessary and somehow deceptive. You feel like you need this great idea before you can get down to work, and I find that’s almost never the case." - Chuck Close[/color]
