Protest signs that tickle the funny-bone

I'm not sure how I came to be reading this but I found a YouTube clip of funny signs seen at protests. Among them were: 'The people behind me can't see', 'I'm so angry I made a sign' and 'I'm so angry I could vote'. Another said loud and clear 'Down with zippers'.
But the one I like best was 'I was told there'd be cake'. Have you ever been to protests and seen a witty sign? I don't think I've ever been to a protest. To me, they seem good places to avoid.
The photo is one we 'doctored' of a friend.

I've thought of starting a protest. Marching down the street with my fellow red-heads, demanding that we be recognized as real people and not clowns or soul-less vampires.
We'd carry signs like:
"Gingers are people, too!"
"Proud to be a Redhead!"
"Don't make me mad or I'll Ginger-snap!"
But I'm afraid that if too many of us redheads get together, the glare of our white skin will cause cornea damage to everyone around us.
So that idea got scratched...

@Genipher Oh, my! I've never heard that song and certainly never imagined "ginger" was or could be an anagram! (I am terrible at anagrams!)

I've never been to any type of protest. I prefer to be safe rather than risk being sorry for attending one!
Too many people at protests simply don't care how they "get the word out" about the protest! If someone gets hurt or arrested, so much the better!
Not for me, thank you!

Good idea - not to attend. There are enough idiots out there without smart people like you and me adding to the mix!

I've never been to a protest either, but I have seen funny signs posted on social media sites. Those silly signs always bring a smile to my face!

@JudyEv That's funny Judy, because I would be right there beside you doing the same thing! Love always trumps hate!

@moffittjc What a wonderful idea for a protest - but what on earth would you call it? You couldn't really call it a protest. Maybe a protest against protests! You could call it a peace march but I don't know that they really work either. Maybe we should just infiltrate other protests and smile a lot.

I had enough of protests in the sixties. They get out of hand far too often for anyone in my age group to attend them.

@JudyEv Crowds are okay, unless they are full of zealots or hyper fans. Then, best to avoid them.

@JudyEv There's a sign I've been trying to remember how it reads from a Mexican restaurant. It says: Kids Eat Free Sundaes - I found that one a bit humorous because it doesn't give anything else about when they eat those free sundaes, just that they do.

I was laughing at "The people behind me can't see", I can imagine it being a huge placard that the people behind it literally can't see what's in front of them.
I've never been to a protest. I avoided crowded places and I don't think it's safe to join one.1 person likes this

Goodness that would have been frightening. What was the picketing all about?

The one about cake is really funny.

That's funny. I never want to go to a protest because it's too dangerous of what could go wrong with it.

They are all clever aren't they? I'm not sure which would be my favourite.
