sassy but effective.

i would not be surprised to see that sign/speed bump combo in the cities somewhere.

I would not be surprised to see a child's pink Converse on the pavement.

Is the foot still in it?

Ask that cop walking up the driveway.

Ray is not subtle. Ray is ruuuuuuude.

Ray has real put-on class...

yeah well I always said subtlety was Ray's middle name and also his first and last in case they didn't get the point

in my neighborhood the signs all say "Slow Children at Play"...but maybe that's a Southern Thing

...well, we ain't much for fancy book-learnin' and such, but we do appreciate unintentional irony, like when someone thinks they're being clever, but is slow on the uptake of a joke about being Slow...next time resist

oh hell and damn yes.

i live in a small town just outside of sydney australia and they have signs near me like this except they aren't very subtle. i swear to god some say stuff 'MY KIDS ARE PLAYING HERE SO SLOW THE HELL DOWN YOU ARSEHOLE!' and are all painted on cheap board with some leftover house paint

That reminds me of a sign I saw on a former neighbor's lawn once. It read "Here lies the last dog who crapped on my lawn."

I'm getting visions of a Walnut Street parent being driven insane by their kids, then just getting in the car and driving over that bump over and over again.

I really enjoy the dissonance caused by your adorable Philippe avatar and the rough chuckles you frequently work.

We can all be glad that Roast Beef wasn't driving.

Apparently this is also an Ireland thing. I was there back in June and on TV in a bar in Dublin I saw a horrible drunk-driving awareness commercial. The basic story was that a guy is driving drunk, he swerves across the road and hits a young couple walking along a fence at the edge of a pasture. The boyfriend gets pinned on top of the girl and she has to stare into his face as he slowly dies, then it goes through flashes of each person's family and how their lives have been ruined. The special effects are at least CSI quality and it goes on for about two minutes (which is quite long for a commercial, at least in the US). It must have been new cause I heard several other bar-goers cry out in shock and disgust. It certainly was effective, it's just a shame someone felt it was necessary.

But to the general public, statistics are what happens to somebody else.

The problem is, after watching that, everyone gets depressed and needs a drink.

That wasn't the worst one though, I remember one on in Ireland when I was younger where the driver is flirting with a woman in another car and he swerves to avoid pedestrians and clips the pavement, and just mows down a child who was playing in his yard. In his yard...
That gave me nightmares for sometime, I must have been around 10/13
