Advertising with a Crip Culture Edge

Thank sign

"Hail Mary full of grace, help me find a parking space!" goes the old bit of Catholic humor.

This sign, brought to our attention by Penny Richards at Temple University's Disability Studies Blog makes you wonder if being first is all its cracked up to be.

The work of the Latvians who created these signs is discussed at AdverBox. The campaign seems like a compliment to Gimp Eye for the Clueless Guy

If the first sign in the campaign calls to mind a prayer...

...the next ones are reminiscent of a curse.
fate
