To touch back on semiotics and the meaning behind signs. I found a blogger who listed his top five 'weird signs' and I'm interested in seeing what other peoples interpretations of them would be. The last one, of the airplane hitting the car confuses me the most. I'm guessing wherever this is from, they must have airplanes hitting cars quite frequently to post that sign! I wasn't aware that airplanes in the sky hit cars on the ground..who knew? I should keep my eye on the sky while driving from now on. It could be that it's near an airport, and planes have had issues taking off, and hit cars on the passing road...what do you think?
Number 3 is interesting too. It's all about the placement of this sign. If it was moved to the divider rail in the center of the roadway instead near the water, the message would be clear. Bikes on the left, cars on the right. Because it is placed on the edge, it appears as if the cars should be in the water! Not sure that's practicing safe driving...
What do you think of the others?

modern media
Okay so I do watch a lot of TV. Most of the time, it's background noise, and usually crap. I've noticed that Reality Tv has taken over. Almost every channel has some sort of reality show. Now, that's not to say that I havent been sucked into the world of crap TV. I too am guilty of watching such terrible shows a "Daisy of Love" and even a few episodes of "Jersey Shore" (which is just awful).
Maybe im one of the few who still likes to watch educational shows. -not the boring kind like you see on PBS, but the Travel and Discovery Channel's put out some great shows that you can learn something from.
So the point to all this rambling is when will this trend end? Or will it get even worse?
