- ChromaVita, on 10/11/2007, -3/+394No, the point that the street artist is making, is that the government isn't listening to any negative feedback, which seems to be a trend with governments. You don't have the choice to say that the government is anything but positive.
- Boing, on 10/11/2007, -17/+271For the retarded folk, it's a sticker over a crosswalk button.
- Sxeptomaniac, on 10/11/2007, -1/+139@ ganjadude4391
It may still be a criticism of the government. They could be saying that the government doesn't want to hear criticisms.
Of course, it could just be for the hell of it. - noots, on 10/11/2007, -9/+94that's because as long as you're in plain sight, we're not retarded enough to run you over.
unless of course we know you are infact american. - airwalkery2k, on 10/11/2007, -8/+86I voted for something? I just wanted to cross the street.
- AKBryant54, on 10/11/2007, -5/+81phew*
- Godlesswanderer, on 10/11/2007, -0/+70@Jowitz
That's never been the case for me. If you're in the middle of crossing and there's a car coming, they tend to slow down for you. Unless, of course, they genuinely want to kill you. - Godlesswanderer, on 10/11/2007, -4/+72Nope, no jaywalking laws here. It's pretty much a case of, cross wherever you think you're not going to get run over.
- TomRemixed, on 10/11/2007, -2/+65I believe he meant
*small amount*, crisis over. - jmgoody311, on 10/11/2007, -19/+79It's a bomb! Lock down digg, quick!
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+60It's because we see both pedestrians and drivers as road users. We believe that the intelligence of people will, on the whole, be sufficient to ensure that accidents are kept to a minimum.
It is both the responsibility of the drivers and the pedestrians to stop accidents.
It also helps to keep costs down. - donnyburnside, on 10/11/2007, -9/+55"kerb"
Is that the British spelling for curb?
No, its the neiltc13 spelling for curb. - chanc, on 10/11/2007, -13/+54I'd rather get ran over to be honest
- Batiu-Drami, on 10/11/2007, -1/+36@donnyburnside (#7038756)
No, it's British spelling for it.

direct link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Stimzettel-Anschluss.jpg - mrASSMAN, on 10/11/2007, -1/+35OK, seriously, are you people ***** retarded? First of all, read the comments on this page, at least the first few, before commenting. Second of all, use common sense, please.
Thank you. - funkboy27, on 10/11/2007, -4/+33To me, the "no" button looked like it might be a fingerprint scanner. That brings the whole piece to a different level :P
- spudnic, on 10/11/2007, -0/+28Go to the pub on this side of the street instead.
- spudnic, on 10/11/2007, -3/+30It would be easier to make it, print a sticker, and go do it than it would be to photoshop it.
Seriously, get out more. - hydratedsquash, on 10/11/2007, -2/+29Well, I find it humorous.
- UberNick, on 10/11/2007, -5/+26ya think?
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+19Allarse, are you sure you were actually looking in the correct direction when crossing the road? When you arrive at the kerb, look to your right.
- kevir, on 10/11/2007, -3/+19"kerb"
Is that the British spelling for curb? - jubydoo, on 10/11/2007, -1/+17Yeah, that's the point. It's a sticker that has been placed over a crossing light button. Urban artwork and all of that.
- scispaz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+16Am I the only one who is a little disturbed by the fact that so many people think things are photoshopped, when they are just real world jokes?
Seriously folks, take a walk every once in a while. A little bit of exercise and sunlight may do you some good. - funkytommyman, on 10/11/2007, -2/+18At least they said 'Thank You'
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -10/+25It's a parody of the Nazi-Germany voting ballots.
- douglasr007, on 10/11/2007, -5/+19I bet you can see the pixels.
- CanceledCzech, on 10/11/2007, -4/+17MikeonTV and ganjadude4391 fail at political street art.
- donnyburnside, on 10/11/2007, -2/+15"Disclaimer: Not living in the UK, I am unaware of the local politics involved or context this street art was commenting on."
I think thats blatantly obvious from the points you made. - donnyburnside, on 10/11/2007, -4/+17Seems the sarcasm travelled through you and to think you didn't feel a thing.. Shame on you.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+15it is disguised as street art but the government put it there. if you put your hand near the place where the no button should be it will take your picture, x ray you , give you an ASBO, and add you to the no-fly list.
- Ashra, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12Fun joke for you:
An Iraqi man goes to vote for his president, the options are Saddam Hussein and someone else. Well, this man was tired of Saddam Hussein, and wanted to exert his right to vote and have his voice heard, so he voted for the other guy.
He goes home and tells his wife, proud of what he had done. His wife exclaims, " Are you crazy? They're going to find out who voted against Saddam and kill us all!"
Worried, the Iraqi man goes back to the polling station and asks to change his vote. He says,"I'm sorry, I mistakenly voted for the other guy, it was a mistake and I wish to change it."
The polling manager replied, "It's ok, sir. We already changed it." - monkeytom888, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11The cars in UK actually stop like a car. In the US stopping a car is like stopping a boat!!! hence we do not have Jaywalking laws over here.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+12Jowitz: "And those Brits don't seem to care if they do run you over.[...]They don't slow down at all."
Well you don't speed up! - rfalloon, on 10/11/2007, -3/+11Very banksy-esque..
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9that's clever.
many of the people posting in this thread are not. - PaperMonkey, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7So you noticed the notions about photoshop and missed the fact that it's a sticker over a crosswalk button...?
- compressedaudio, on 10/11/2007, -3/+10I aim to cross the road in the safest possible way.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8Absurdly symbolic of every representative democracy in the world. You are free to elect ANY person in the world as long as he is one of these three people. Our system has become a farce. That is why nobody votes.
- donnyburnside, on 10/11/2007, -3/+9Assman, you just echo'ed my sentiments right there.
- jjb123, on 10/11/2007, -5/+10Oh, sorry, I misunderstood the point of it.
- swavalier711, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5dammit, I just wanna cross the street!
Decisions, decisions... what would a Londoner do? - gadgetuk, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5I'd rather risk getting run over than pressing that "yes" button....
- idonthack, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6And antimatter.
Because it's not there and never was. - kuzotz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3most US cities have Jwalking law, but no one enforces them because its a waste of time....
What is funny though is that college towns enforce jwalking laws which actually pissed me off because not even oklahoma city does this. But Norman, Oklahoma does. IT's a freaking 500 USD fee if caught jwalking, and they enforce the *****. - Nameless1, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Drum brakes for the win!
- quinnmct, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Do you like this picture?
[ ] Yes No - decadence, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2"but if you press No instead of yes, the green man still comes on in the same amount of time as if you had pressed Yes! lol"
Yeah. Only difference is the stop light doesn't change. - MavRevMatt, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1...
