Sign is brilliant.
Haven't we used imitation for bumper stickers and yards signs for years.
Why is the BLM language sacrosanct. Doesn't everybody know that it was copies as well?
Probably like any good advertising, they probably imitated simply to get us to talk about it.
The original signs and the silly bumper stickers you cite are on your personal property. Keep your cynical boosterism out of the highway median please. If you want a hockey sign there, fine put one that just advertises youth hockey in a straightforward way. Let’s not use public space to mock each other’s beliefs in the name of supposedly supporting youth sports.

You are a fool. If those yards signs are your sacred creed I feel very sorry for you.

I live in a very pro-LEO area and see tons of “blue lives matter”/“all lives matter”, plus really distasteful things like “comply and don’t die” or “Save lives, Comply.”
Funny thing is they get SO triggered if you make any joke about LEO. Or use the same rhetoric against them when there’s an LEO death (“well, if he had done XYZ...”)
How is it in “poor taste?” Are you saying those ridiculous signs are somehow sacred text and how dare someone mock them? Some of you are truly unbelievable. The pious sanctimony of the left knows no bounds.

Right? It's bizarre for so many reasons!
There are a number of those signs along River Rd and they have been up for months. When I first drove by one I wondered how long it would be before someone complained.it took longer than I thought.
OP, you’re being ridiculous.

Anytime the “woke movement” is mocked, that makes me happy.
