Blonde Marina-looking bimbo just told me that my sticker campaign is "a Federal crime" and "disrespectful" and that "the board is taking action".I'd say they're "appropriately disrespectful", actually.

BELONGING TO FEDERAL
Is this the blonde marina bimbo who works at Citiscape? She's awful.
Beats me. Just some random in the lobby. Never saw her before.

Here's an official security opinion: Adding the "snarky" or "edgy" text does not modify or diminish the purpose/mission of the CCTV sign.
The purpose of the sign is to get the dumber among us to look up and see the camera, with the intention to deter. Cameras can be used as deterrents, but only if said idiot actually notices the camera. A deterrent unnoticed is not a deterrent.
I'd say it causes people to take the sign less seriously, making it less of a deterrent.
Which assumes it's a deterrent in the first place, a somewhat doubtful proposition unless you also assume that whoever the sign's meant to deter has never heard of hoodies.
What I said doesn't presuppose it's an effective deterrent at all.
Sure it does; 'effective' was implied.
If you say so.
I told your mother we should never have gotten you that label-maker for your birthday!
I can't help but wonder what federal statue she thinks this violates. I mean, the worst this could qualify as is graffiti, which I'm pretty sure is only criminalized by local or maaayyybe state-level laws.
How'd she know you were the one behind it? Did she "catch you in the act"? (And if so, why didn't she try to perform a citizen's arrest, thus upholding whatever federal law she thinks you were breaking?)
But asking her to explain herself would just mean having to listen to even more of her garbage.
I'm assuming she spoke with him about it because she reads this blog.
Not sure why she'd read this blog if she doesn't know him. He did say he'd never seen her before, and she doesn't sound like the usual JWZ fan.
Yeah. The usual jwz fans are all goths with dyed black hair.
Not blondes.
Is there a Federal crime for making bogus claims that stuff is a Federal crime?
There is a Meta-category for Federal Meta-crimes.
That is all there is.
Hahahah
Sorry to hear the stronger adhesive wasn't enough. New idea - make it harder to get a fingernail underneath to peel them off? This kind of stuff is used on car vinyl wraps (and industrial equipment labels) so the edges don't flake up. Sets as clear smooth "plastic". Starting to get expensive though.

"FEDERAL LAW PROHIBITS MODIFYING, DEFACING, OR TAMPERING WITH THIS SIGN"
brilliant
FEDERAL LAW PROHIBITS COMPLAINTS ABOUT ADDITIONS TO THIS SIGN
"THIS IS A FEDERAL CRIME"
THE BOARD IS TAKING INACTION
For the holidays, every member of your board needs to be gifted a copy of The Inspection House.
Also, I <3 pretty much every action of yours in this whole saga.
You know, I haven't actually read that. Maybe I should order a dozen copies and just leave them in the lobby.
Then you can watch who takes them on cctv!

They ain't on you yet
Let's run
On the road
Like Bonnie and Clyde
Mocking CCTV signs
THIS NOTIFICATION WILL SOON BE AVAILABLE IN BRAILLE.
FOR THE HARD OF SEEING.
Dear Sir,
I adore you. For all that you do.
Sincerely,
Nobody Important
I like how "disrespectful" is an insult by default for some people. People who are apparently unaware of the littany of historical atrocities allowed by those too respectful to intervene...
Not that this counts, of course. This is just a wonderful excuse to deflate some bullfrogs and engage in the simple joy of impressively dedicated and petty vandalism; as American as apple pie.
I agree with the guy who said you should run for your condo board. Imagine the sort of media campaign you could mount. Just handbill everyone who leaves and exits with an offer for a free slice of pizza for a bcc or paper bcc on an email to the current members asking them to resign if they had anything to do with approval of the inward-pointing sign, and nominating you for "director at large in absentia" which is a meaningless title on which you can more easily afford to mount a real takeover. Then you could convert one of the units to a chill lounge for musical acts with jet lag or special pizza needs or whatever.
What's the difference between a Marina-looking bimbo & a Pacific Heights-looking bimbo?
Meanwhile, back in Blighty, the gutter press and police are hot on their own brand of disrespectful but quaint vandalism:
