I saw one on the L train that said "Do Not Wage Wars"

Sarah Freis, of course, would never smell bad or be uncouth.

A few months ago on the A (or the C?) I saw "Do Not Look at Her".

Does anyone find it ironic that one says, "Do not be uncouth"? After all, when you're inconsiderate enough to vandalize something, the last thing you should be doing is telling others to mind their manners.

does anyone have the link to that "make your own MTA sign" page?

I think the "Do not bomb Iraq" was part of a series - I remember "Do not deport families" and I'm pretty sure there was at least one more. They were very well-made.

Given recent events, someone should make "Do not whip it out."

Do Not Hold Grudges was on the R train a few weeks ago.

I saw one that said "Do not Fall in Love" once. To this day I still fear love.

oooh, looks like someone read the piece on jeane. how current event of you.

blame Bush when appropriate

I get the feeling the "do not bomb Iraq" sticker from three years ago was before the U.S. started the war (therefore before the insurgency).

blame America first

Do Not Bomb Iraq would be good advice for the insurgents and Al Qaeda. And don't forget those meddlesome Iranians.

Saw a notice up in Atlantic-Pacific station this weekend: Day of Kindness Fri. 11:59 PM - Sun 12:01 AM May 13th No service interruptions anticipated as a result of your kindness in motion. == Is this part of some system-wide subversive signage campaign? Pretty cool.

i think that's racist towards asian fobs. i'm calling Jesse Jackson.

Those look kinda crappy. The "Do Not Fall in Love" ones were really well done. Also a full sized mock up of the original rather than just a partial sticker over top of it.

if they really wanted them to blend in they shouldn't have capitalized each word, but that's nitpicking... How about "Do not play stupid MP3s on your goddamned cell phone like it's a boombox."

I recall seeing a few years ago "Do not raise fare". Anyone have the size specs of the stickers?

I saw one three years ago. It said "Do not bomb Iraq" What was astonishing to me was the entire sticker had been mocked up to perfectly match the font and design. These appear to be partial stickers. The one I saw vis-a-vis Iraq was very powerful because the expression was so subtle and so anonymous.

i seriously doubt that any "uncouth" people are literate enough to know what that means. I would prefer a more direct sign that says "stop being such a filthy rude asshole", or "get an education you ebonic idiot". come to think of it, those signs should be in spanish too.

Yes, I saw some this morning on the A train and was hoping someone would shoot pics since my phone isn't a cam. I saw some that read,"don't deport", "have hope", don't colonize the phillipines".
