Stop Signs

As I was walking to work this morning (I just started a new job at the campus radio station!) I noticed a sticker underneath the word "stop". It simply said "war".

"Stop war". Seems like a good idea to me. I snapped a picture and went on my way.

On my way back, I was walking down the same street but the other way to get home. I glance behind me and see another stop sign with a sticker beneath it.

I couldn't be bothered to read it (I'm a busy man!) and assumed it said "war" as well. There was also a "Drunken Penguin" sticker beside it that wasn't there before. Now, Drunken Penguin is something that has been popping up all over the city. I don't know who is responsible for him but I have a feeling he lives on or near my street as they seem to appear in greatest concentration near my house. Drunken Penguin doesn't just pop up in stickers, I have seen the image and signature in a guest book at a cafe and he has even called in to request a song on campus radio shows. Because these both appeared on the same day, I am led to assume that Drunken Penguin is responsible for the other stickers and is therefore against war and eating meat.

This leads us to another question. What does a penguin eat if he doesn't eat meat? There seems to be little vegetation in Antartica so I'm sure a vegetarian's diet would be greatly limited.

I didn't realize that the second sticker said something else until I was resizing the picture to post here. This realization changed the nature of this post dramatically.
