I hope this won't offend anyone... :/
And feel free to chow the snot out of me if this has been covered before! A search turned up nothing.

I found this picture on MySpace and I'm wondering if it's real... The name the picture is saved under is "militantgays.jpg"...
This must be fake... but then again, stranger things have happened.

Any help would be appreciated!

Again, I hope no one is offended.

My first thought is Photoshop. I've nothing to back that up, but it certainly wouldn't be the first time signs have been changed.

I vote Photoshop. The text is very clear for hand printing on random cardboard, and it seems to be the same on both signs. I mean unless one of them is a professional sign maker it seems unlikely.

Does the city of Cinncinati have a dick? Where is it located? What are the opening times? What are the admission charges for the Cincinnati dick?

Next time you are watching a protest in a movie or tv show, (ie, not a real event) look at the protesters' signs. Lettering, colours, the poles, - almost everything will look exactly the same on each sign. I've noticed it dozens of times.

Actually, it hangs to the south of the city, is very large, and is often referred to as 'Kentucky'. [Razz]

Anyone else note the deliberate bad grammar on the sign of the man in the back? I love that the photoshopper gave the black man such terrible grammar. [Mad]

Geez, something has made me hypersensitive recently, because I'm seeing racist/bigoted things everywhere!

Actually they both have bad grammar.

I supposed this is quite bigoted but in the event that was really the message they were sending, would you really expect the signs to say "Cincinnati, I will suck your penis" and "He Says He Will Suck Your Penis"??
