A part of a man's anatomy was for lunch

OK, who's the wise guy who altered an electronic highway sign in front of the Dedham Toys Backwards-R Us to use a word so foul that Channel 7 came down with the vapors and could only refer to it as "a part of a man's anatomy" (which passing motorists were then invited to enjoy for lunch)?
And geez, if you're going to go to all the bother, why didn't you wheel it up the road a bit so it flashed in front of the adult book store?

Kids today! Harrumph!
At least the guy who altered the sign got off his duff and accomplished something!
Unlike the lazy kids in these parts who have a HUGE SIGN with a potentially hilarious edit - a sign that abuts (if you will) an adult book store AND faces I-93 - just sitting there waiting for a critical omission. Just sitting there for months! With a fence and a ladder! No takers!
Harrumph. All they would have to do the the billboard with the big down-pointing arrow at the inspection station next to the adult bookstore is cover the M on "MASS INSPECTION". That's it!
And to think, only a few years back, an industrious and organized group managed to rearrange the heavy cement letters spelling out "WRIGHT's POND" to read "DOG SHIT" in just a single night!
worth a mention
The whole sentence is fantastic:
"The officials then instructed crews to correct the message, which mentioned a part of a man's anatomy was for lunch."
Penis is Anatomically Correct, not Obscene
I get so tired of all these stupid prude newscasters and officials projecting their own extreme body-hating hangups on my kids as an excuse for their own immature sexuality.
Seriously.
Are they themselves so damaged that they can't think about it without thinking of sex? Were they abused as children, either by prudes or pedophiles? As a mom, I gotta wonder!
If my kids saw that when they were old enough to read, they would have thought that PENIS FOR LUNCH was hysterically funny! Not because they would have had the slightest bit of idea that it might be sexual (I think you need rabidly homophobic parents to give you vivid descriptions of SIN! to have any such concept at 5 or 6), but because it is just silly in and of itself. To kids not polluted by adult sexual notions, penis = a special silly body part.
9 year old (gigiglgiglgigiglgglle) Penis! For Lunch? You eat hot dogs for lunch. Wieners!
11 year old. Yeah, (snickersnickersnicker giggle). Wieners!
Both: giggle fit
That Toy's R Us, on the otherhand, is chock-a-block with oversexualized heteronormative toys aimed at boys being boys and girls being girls and wearing make up at age 5 or else! Much more toxic a place in that regard than a stupid silly sign!

Take note, Memorial-Bridge Globies!

Viva la 128!
The lede says "Providence Highway," which is much more descriptive than "Route 1."
But the funny part is this: "It couldn't be a prankster," Ralph said. "It had to have been someone who knew how to log in and change the sign."
Cuz we all know pranksters are wicked stupid.
Pranksters
Right, and the people responsible for these signs would never be so dumb as to leave the controls unlocked with the password written on the side in magic marker.
NEVER SURRENDER!!!!
The WBZ traffic report at 10:03 mentioned a slowdown on "128 in Randolph".
WBZ radio
As opposed to WBZ-TV, is excellent in referring to 128 and 95 correctly, as in "128 southbound is crawling all the way from Trapelo Road to Punkapoag" but "95 southbound is backed up all the way back to 128" (actually, they typically have two 128 reports, one for 128 north of, oh, Lexington, and the other for 128 from the turnpike south - and they always do the northern stretch first, which I can grouse about, given that I'm a southern-stretch commuter).
The proper use of "Interstate 95"
From WBZ-TV:
There are no cows on Rte. 128, therefore, it is not I-95. QED.
