Who's Hacking These Signs?

Photo by Marlon Ying

A reader sent us in this picture taken at East 4th Street and Broadway in front of the French Connection, claiming that "all sorts of signs (were) taken over" today. Apparently another sign at the corner of Houston and Chrystie Streets read "Party at Julie's." Who is behind this DOTomfoolery? Has Poster Boy gone digital?? Does anyone have directions to Julie's???

Hey, who pays all the douche gothamist commentators to add worthless thoughts to interesting things?

Jenny Holzer was better.

keera

Who's that and what do you mean? Better than what??

NannyState

Just google "Jenny Holzer Truisms" and check her stuff out.

i don't know. another armchair "activist" using the ol' "he lied. they died" slogan definitely isn't as cool as hacking the signs to say "Penis for lunch!"

I wonder if this has anything to do with Kevin Rose talking about this on Jimmy Fallon's show the other night. He gave out the password and everything.

Someone watches Fallon? Huh...

Brainwash

Kevin Rose sucks.

"Who's Hacking These Signs?"

As easy as it is to do, the obvious answer is: "anybody who wants to."

Wow, somebody put on a sign what everyone is thinking. Well, except the writers at the Atlantic Monthly, who seem to have denial on par with that of a patient with a terminal illness.
