Down in the Dumps by Mark Roberts a/k/a Markrobla
Down in the Dumps is a public art series by UK-based artist Mark Roberts, aka Markrobla, that features figurative sculptures that look like people stuck in trash cans. Appearing to have dived head first into the public waste bins, the disembodied pair of legs lifelessly dangle in an awkward position leaving one to wonder whether a person has actually wedged themselves…

Electronic sign hacks, and a link to how to do them.
By Jack Brummet,
Persiflage and Pranks Editor
Road sign control pads are usually encased in a lock box, but that box is almost always unlocked. And while most road signs have password protection, that password is usually the default "DOTS"—or you can reset the password by holding "shift" and "control" while typing "DIPY" (so it defaults to "DOTS" again).
Jalopnik.com has an article giving step by step instructions on how to hack digital road signs, with the caveat "DO NOT under any circumstances run around hacking into electronic road signs using the information contained in this step-by-step guide of how to transmit hilarious messages to passing motorists."

F*** This Website: pranking signs and other printed ephemera
This website was pointed out by Tom Dougherty, the Seattle artist, blogger, and writer. F*** This Website is a compendium of signs, posters, billboards, and other printed ephemera upon which the proprietor, or now, his many fans, have placed stickers with The F Bomb. Naturally, the results are often quite hilarious.
The blog's proprietor only keeps a handful of images on his site. I think he wants us to buy his two books on this very subject, the postcards or a set of his F*** stickers, so you can try your own hand at sign pranking (if you follow his reasonable) rules):
"I will not be responsible for irresponsibility. This is supposed to be about collecting funny images, not F***ing up people’s personal property. That’s why the stickers are strong, but removable. Don’t be an asshole and leave the stickers on signs around children’s playgrounds.
I know… cheap people want to have fun too. If you’re one of them, here’s a few templates that you can print on full-sheet labels, and cut them yourself. Believe me, it’s easier to just buy a pack from me, but whatever…
"Actually, check this to agree that you won’t sue me because you cut the tip of your finger off trying to cut out stupid little F*** stickers with an Xacto knife instead of just spending $7, and then you can download the templates."
