Clet Abraham's Altered Street Signs

Stop! Come back with that bar! We need it! Clet Abraham, a street artist in Florence, Italy, adds stickers of little people to street signs to alter their meanings. He writes:

My adhesives are developed to add a further level of reading [to street signs] constructed on the base of their original signification in order to maintain its utility but give it some intellectual, spiritual, or simply amusing interest. The final objective? That traffic keeps flowing without us feeling spoken down to!

I saw this on a couple of docs on netflix. They're SO stinkin cute. If I ever had the money to spend on it (and not have a heartattack spending that kind of $$), I would totally get one... or 4 :P

I'm glad they mentioned the smell of fox urine in this article. That's something would-be fox owners have to think about.
Why not just get a fennec fox instead? :)
