OMG: GET OVER IT!

Prankster youth throughout several cities in the US have been having fun with mobile road signs, changing their messages to humorous ones. Not surprisingly this has residents and authorities worried and "on alert".

YOU'VE GOT BE KIDDING ME? With all the problems that plague our country, not to mention the state our economy is in...this is really that troublesome? Today one of these mobile signs in Lubbock, TX which was programed to read "Frankford, exit next right" now reads "OMG The British are coming, they are watching you". Many sensible people, myself included find these harmless jokes funny as well as an opportunity to giggle during these stressing times. Motorist Javier Castaneda passes by the sign every day and found the warning humorous. "I think it would probably wake some people up. Get them wondering where the heck they're going. If anything it's original. I think it's pretty harmless for the most part," he said. The Texas DOT feels it may make you laugh, but says changing a traffic sign is a serious offense. "It's serious because they do display important information. It's almost the same thing as removing a stop sign," said Dianah Ascencio of TxDOT.

Anyhow, this just really ticks me off that anyone would be so concerned over something like that.
