The ‘mild vandalism’ of this village sign might be today’s funniest seven words

Poke Staff. Updated April 8th, 2024

There’s a whole subset of vandalism called ‘mild vandalism’ which – while we never advocate criminal damage of any kind, obviously – is of the subtler, funnier and basically more viral variety.

Like this, for instance.

And this.

And this.

And indeed this!

And we mention all those because there’s another entry went viral today and it goes straight to the top of the pile.

Bravo!
