New vandalism pictures! Win a whale shirt in my new contest! What more could you want?
I stumbled out of my cave this evening after another 15 hour shift here in Hollyweird. Sometimes it's amazing working in the movie business. However, doing data entry on Anthony Hopkins motion capture B-roll for the new
Beowulf movie until the wee hours of the morning is starting to lose its luster. It feels like level grinding, except at the end of it all, I'm left with a weakened, underpowered Tristero, rather than one with amazing new Summoning powers.
Despite all this, I'm in a generous mood. That's why tonight's vandalism update is coupled with the announcement of a mini-contest. A few of you mentioned how much you liked the Mario coin block girl's whale
t-shirt featured in the picture below. I'll be giving away one of these nerdalicious shirts for free, in the size of your choosing, to the person who posts the best sign alteration. If you scrounge up an old picture from your glory days that's okay. If you find something a stranger did on the internet, that's okay too. You can post it . . . it still qualifies. But I will admit, a sign you've changed yourself will be worth a lot more in the eyes of the judges.
Oh, and Destructoid DOES NOT APPROVE of this contest or condone your vandalism in any fashion. This little agreement is strictly between you and me. Make sure you have permission from the owners to change the sign first. Always wear your seat belt, don't stay out late, and don't get caught. Also, never drink soda and eat pop rocks at the same time because your head will asplode.
To give you some motivation, and in keeping with the spirit of giving, I'm posting some signs I personally changed with the Sticky Bandits gang last Christmas. Enjoy!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Yes, that does say "Crisp Anus". Don't knock it if you haven't tried it.
That's right. Tune back in tomorrow for more! In case you missed this yesterday, here's the original sign post:
This is my hobby Vol.1

A New Challenger's handiwork. I'm retroactively making him the first entry in my contest.

A quite few years ago (before 9/11), an Islamic Mosque opened up down our street. It had an excellent, steep wheelchair ramp, so during the weekdays, we would use it to skate down.
One day, one of the guys who ran the church yelled at us and called the police. We got pissed and decided to change their sign which said "Peace on Earth." Having little to work with, we changed it to "Pee on Earth"...but will still thought it was the funniest fucking thing ever.
I really wish I took a picture now...
@Riser: Typically, I'm not a huge fan of crude humor. But it just seems to work best for signs. It's that combination of debasement and intelligence that makes me laugh. I would kill to see that Pee on Earth picture.
Y'know, the assface that ran the sign shop I worked at last year still has his "FULL TIME EMPLOYMENT" lettering up. Maybe I should pay him a visit one evening...
@bluemeep: PENILE TOY . . . that's all I've got.
I've been meaning to order that shirt forever, love it.
Hooray, a contest!
I agree about intelligence + debasement. It's only natural to want to find ASS and PENIS in seemingly innocuous signs. I think a big part of the thrill is that marquees are often used by schools and churches and other places of authority, and if you want to rile authority up nothing gets them like a good poo joke.
Not that I've ever done that in the dead of night and left it for the world to see.
