Hasidim Get Very Specific Bathroom Signs

The Williamsburg Satmars rec center bathroom signs seem to have gotten an upgrade, suggesting their bathrooms are only for men with payots and women with lots of children. Though the woman's skirt seems way too short for Satmar standards, the paper cutout additions are pretty spot on. So what other neighborhoods could use bathroom makeovers? Bike helmets in Greenpoint? Bermuda shorts and fanny packs in Times Square? Photoshop contest! [Via Village Voice]

First of all, what is that coming off the side of her head? A price tag for the wig? And why is he carrying a briefcase? Is that a sect requirement? And where are the handcuffs attaching it to his wrist?

he wouldn't have a briefcase, he would have a ratty black plastic bodega bag...

and they forgot the stink lines.

Were these additions endorsed by the rec center or is this a prank?

According to former Mayor Dinkins, we are not a melting pot but a mosaic. The Satmar, Rastafarians and other Sects have no intention of blending in.

they should add thought bubbles with dollar signs to really complete this.

Or with the moshiach destroying the dome of the rock, since they're supposed to pray for that five times a day.
