Lawn Signs for People Who Hate Lawn Signs

An experiment in the absurd from Maplewood, New Jersey.

You've probably seen plenty of lawn signs in your day, especially if you live in the suburban United States, where they sprout like dandelions.

But you've probably never seen one that proclaims its own identity quite as boldly as this specimen from the New York suburb of Maplewood, New Jersey. Emblazoned on one side, the word "LAWN," with an arrow pointing down. On the other, the word "SIGN."
