Nottingham pranksters have been putting up official-looking signs that say: "Public Urination Permitted After 7:30PM."

It would be more believable (and therefore more funny, IMO) if they listed the hours during which it was prohibited. How often do you see signs that tell you when something is allowed?
..and local officials are pissed!
you guys know that some morons will actually fall for that sign!
should use this approach for street photography. Create enough confusion and maybe they'll shut up.
sounds like a stunt by that artist known as Banksy
I put up a few stickers in the hospital I used to work at. In the elevator I put one that said "Please Do Not Copulate In This Elevator." In the staff restroom I put one that said, "Please Do Not Hang Clothing Over Two Way Mirror." They were removed before long, but they got a lot of laughs. I got them from Stuff magazine.
I WANT TO BELIEVE
:p
I've never felt that I needed signage to approve marking my territory.
Nottingham pranksters = Robin Hood and his Merry Men? They live in a forest; where else are they going to pee?
I want to be relived.
ah, but was it signed “the Mgt.”?
Point to ponder: If someone does fall for the sign and gets busted for public urination, do they have a good case, or is it a matter of "common sense should have prevailed"
Long, complicated example: If there's a car accident because of a missing stop sign at a 4-way stop, insurance (and police) usually find no fault. However, if it's not a 4-way, the common sense rule prevails, and the person "entering the major road" is almost always at fault if they didn't yield, just like if there was never a stop in the first place.
I'd rather see:
NO WHISTLING PERMITTED DURING URINATION
BY ORDER OF NY SANITATION / THIS WALL IS A DESIGNATED URINATION ZONE
It's no sillier than "BILL STICKERS WILL BE PROSECUTED"
Ok, where are the high resolution image files we can use to print & use to adorn our own city walls?
Is there waterproof sticker paper that goes in inkjet printers so I can make my own pra^H^H^H designs ?
@#17
waterproof paper can not be used in inkjet printers.
but you could print on regular paper and laminate it.
Reminds me of a sticker I once saw in a men's room at UC Berkeley - it said "Employees must wash genitals before returning to work" and had a subtle pictogram that looked like a pair of hands at first glance. heehee. I love stuff like this.
@12 - yes! Maybe I'll reread The Illuminatus! Trilogy. Kallisti!
It makes a nice statement.
Also, maybe governments should consider either public urination, or consider installing more public bathrooms. One is certainly a bit cleaner, and the other is cheaper. Their choice!
