Australian Road Signs: Offensive or Practical?
http://screen.yahoo.com/australian-road-signs-offensive-or-practical-30158705.html
In Southern Australia, debate rages on about whether these cheeky road safety billboards are appropriate for the eyes of travelers. Some feel that the messages are offensive and degrading. Others point to the fact that they've actually been working and are making rural roads safer. So, will these messages stay up for good? If this needs to go to the Lounge, will do.
