The Oligarchy Signage Gallery

Have you ever driven to work and noticed something to the side of the road that kept you laughing for the rest of the trip? Have you ever seen a billboard that was worded entirely wrong, putting evil thoughts into your mind? Then this is the place for you. Here we've collected pictures of signs from around the U.S. and the world, which either contain ballsy advertising humor, unintentional double meanings, or inspired sabotage. Some are captioned; others speak for themselves.

If there's a sign in your area that deserves to be featured here, please see the bottom of the page for instructions on submitting a photo.

Check back often for more additions to the Gallery!
