Random: Some people just don't get it.

These are painted on the sidewalk, on the corners of several intersections in West Los Angeles.
How dumb/unevolved do you have to be to not understand that a red hand means stop?

Actually, in Latin American countries, you don't get the red hand sign to signify stop. You get a red little man.

Sure, it's idiotic and unevolved, but it's also a cultural difference. I knew someone who'd been here 27 years, from the same country as me, and all she'd learned to say was "hhhhhhhhalllllo" (I'm trying to stress how strong her "H" sound was) and "goomornin."

I rest my case.

Ask Hellboy. "Red means STOP!"

They go to great lengths these days.

When I was a kid, all those signs said Walk/Don't Walk.
