    couple of telltales around the edges that don't look like digital compression/zoom artefacts. Of course standing less than 60' away from a billboard one shouldn't need a digital zoom.

    Uniformed Gardai with guns?

    And weren't their Uzis taken away a few years ago?

    The Dublin road is about 130 miles long, perhaps you'd like to tell us where this sign is and if it is real whom we can report for criminal damage (defacing a sign).

    you're such a photo/graphic-design/legal expert, can you point out the criminal damage? I have Horatio Caine on the other line and he's...

    *slowly puts on his shades over the phone :cool:

    ...got a plan

    Horatio would be clapping iron on your wrists because he'd know that defacing something - which is what has been done here if it is not a photoshop - is criminal damage.

    I have to say, who really gives a fudge about it anyway. Its an ad for the Irish Times is it? Otherwise its of little interest to anyone as has been proven in the past.

    it is across from the eye cinema. I know the path on the left. People would see when they are coming in to galway.

    Yes the OP is correct it is the bill board near the Huntsman inbound to the City, the picture he posted is what is on the bill board, its pasted over an add for the Irish Independent.

    Fortunate they refound their protesting zeal just as the colleges finish exams and the weather improves.
    Occupying Eyre Sq for the summer could be a lay abouts dream.

    Did the weekly multi purpose protest from the Cathedral ever take off btw?

    It's an ad for the Irish Independent (or some news org) comparing what is with what might be. Was run before a film at the Eye on Saturday (and probably a zillion other places too, but that's where I've seen it).

    not that it matters but yes, I'm a supporter of the Occupy movement. what are you trying to insinuate? and i'd be careful now if I was you cos you're already threading on thin legal ground here.

    and some bright spark with access to a printer and a sense of humour changed the context of it very eloquently in my view. The original message is still there but with a new twist. I say well done to whoever done it. There were plenty of motorists stuck in traffic but stitches and taking pics when I passed

    For the purposes of clarification it's probably only fair to warn you that making legal threats against other people on this site is an automatic siteban.

    Your move.

    I thought we'd seen the back of these chancers.

    Any encroachment into the city, similar to last time, should not be given any leeway whatsoever.

    We don't need people threatening getting all legal here. If you are insinuating any legal action again I will ban you permanently from this forum as boards don't want to get involved in real world court cases. Do you understand?

    Edit, Zaph beat me to it.
