Self awareness comes to West Belconnen

While we’re at it, lets also throw some insults the way of people who live in China. Perhaps if your gay lets also have a chuckle? Handicapped anyone? Eventually it’ll all come back to “your momma” insults.

At the end of the day most people will handle the insults okay, but 0.01% will go off the deep end. Hope they don’t have access to guns like they do in Arizona.

oh, please. I saw the photo, had a chuckle and moved on. whoever did it (the sign) should be found and congratulated. Stellar piece of work.

I would be more offended by the comment that we have a percentile or two below the ACT average level income or education, if it was going to bother me.

and for the record, I grew up in charnwood.

On the bike path entering Curtin from the Cotter Road side, there used to be (probably still is, unless the recent resurfacing went down that way) “Curtin Suburban Elite” in 12″ purple house paint lettering – each letter was about a foot high.

I could never figure out whether it was a compliment or an insult.

Onya LiquidIce! Nice to see someone with a sense of humour that extends to themself.

It’s a gee-up, and it’s wittily done. If I lived in Charnwood and saw that I think I’d manage a grin. I’d certainly prefer a wry and clever dig like that to reading the usual crappy graffiti tags and other garbage I see sprayed all over other parts of town.

I really think that’s a bit “out there”
How does a comment about a sign in Charnwood go to poking fun at people in China or the ghetto??
Do only people in Arizona have access to guns?

If 0.01% of people in Charnwood might go off the deepend…..how many people is that???

Assuming that is wood, I’m surprised no ones burned it down yet.

All steel 🙂

The new addition to the sign seems to be simply vinyl cut letters… the kind that are frequently seen around Charnwood-based cars, arranged as the Southern Cross…

The additional touch of the White Commodore in the background was simply luck…

Yeah – ’cause that’s *EXACTLY* the same…
