An electronic road sign on Cambridge Street flashed ``EXPECT DELAYS' and ``ROAD WORK AHEAD' but also alerted drivers that ``PORN IS GREAT.'
It's the second time such a message has appeared along the delay-plagued stretch of roadwork in Beacon Hill, but state officials aren't laughing.
``Obviously the message is unacceptable and will be taken down (Sunday) tonight,' said Jon Carlisle, spokesman for the state's Executive Office of Transportation.
He said while there are some electronic signs that can be hacked into remotely, someone broke through a locked panel to change the flashing message on this one.
``That's pretty clever,' said Chris Hickey, 27, of Boston while walking by the sign yesterday.
But her friend, Andrew D'Agostino, said he would have aimed for something more original.
``Of course it's (porn) great, tell me something I don't know,' he said.
PORN IS GREAT
"Christ, Bette Davis?!?!"

Posted: 4/14/05 at 4:24pmThere must be an epidemic of naughty road signs. Outside Chicago, one creative prankster signed up to be responsible for keeping the next mile of highway clean under the name of "NAMBLA", causing much consternation for the local media. The only thing better would have been if the road had passed by a junior high.

HA!
That would be great to see...the closest I've got was before a Steelers/Browns game, an electronic sign read "Browns Fans, Welcome to Mordor." Beautiful.
"During this performance, please feel free to let your cell phones and pagers ring willy-nilly. However, do remember that there are heavily-armed knights on stage and you might well be dragged up and impaled."

Posted: 4/14/05 at 7:40pmhaha that is funny especially the last bit "of course porn is great!"
"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell
