I mean......IS it offensive? Maybe if you already planned to kill kids.

Oh! I get it. It's offensive to cops. Got it.

I suspect the “Slow The Fuck Down.” one is the one they're saying is offensive.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 days ago (2 children)

how the fuck is fuck offensive? Are they puritanical Christ worrshipers?

[–] WR5 6 points 5 days ago

Unironically, probably yes.

How the fuck is fuck offensive?

I don't know why I'm cracking up so much at this.

Chefs kiss

They could've done "Slow The Truck Down"

As Boulder police commander Darren Fladung told Denver’s 9News, “I appreciate the fact that it’s drawing attention to the fact that we’d like people to slow down and not be on their phones, but there’s probably, again, a few more appropriate ways about getting that message out.”

Then why aren't you already doing those more appropriate things?

Thank goodness, cops are spending valuable resources on thisinstead of, you know, investigating real crime.

[–] Maggoty 13 points 5 days ago

They're cops. Of course they took offense at the second sign.

We've got ones that show a big sad face if you're going over the limit, and a big smiley face if you're under. Works for me cos I don't want to upset the sign

It makes ~~drivers~~ politicians uncomfortable

Kids, they are a hazard on a lot of workplaces

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Why isn't the speed limit 25 mph if children play there?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Children aren’t playing there. It’s just the guy living down the street has some priors.

Don't kill any kids today

"Aight, I'll come back tomorrow then"

[–] jaggedrobotpubes 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

But then it'll still be today.

Stupid smart sign!

[–] ignotum 3 points 5 days ago

How is that possible? After a day "today" becomes "yesterday", how is the sign able to resist the flow of time like that?

[–] Valmond 4 points 5 days ago

"Radar ahead!" scribbled on a cardboard.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Vice is a real bitch. Why is it worded like 2nd grade English book..

[–] 3ntranced 1 points 5 days ago

The urge to slap a "don't tell me what to do" sign below is palpable.

[–] slaacaa 1 points 5 days ago

Time to call in the National Guard
