Stop-Sign Jamming
by Chris MacDonald
I hesitate to start a new category (new for this blog) of normative signs that have been modified (enhanced? defaced?).
Here’s a STOP sign that has had the name of Canada’s Prime Minister added. It’s worth noting, I suppose, that this modification does little or nothing to change the impact of the stop sign itself.
Should we call this “norm jamming,” by way of analogy to culture jamming?
