But I digress, this sign shows prejudice against people who wear puffy down jackets. Ah, a pun, or a play on words.

The inclusion of the complaint line, sorry, Crime"stoppers" phone number is a nice touch too. Putting signs up sure beats having an effective police presence!

What do you use for it? Also would be cool to put a mini explosive in which triggers when you press play- but then Pod victim falls victim to more important law of anti-terrorism. No poster-warnings there, just surveillance and arrest. @dragon tryst

They use "pod" instead of "iPod" for copyright cover-your-ass purposes, but then they do the headphone cable outline silhouette style graphics. Plus of course the mp3 player itself looks suspiciously like an iPod, though I've never seen one of those things belt-mounted Blackberry-style like that.
