Signage has always been a powerful tool in the fight for what’s right. So it’s no surprise that when people face injustice and inequality, they turn to one of their most effective weapons: words.
In the age of social media, activism has reached new heights. Protest signs have gone viral on Twitter and Facebook, and they’ve become so popular they even get replicated by protesters on the other side of the planet. Their viral potential is undeniable. If a sign can go viral, it has the power to ignite change across the world. But what’s caught our attention recently is the sheer number of funny protest signs popping up everywhere. From clever puns to downright silly wordplay, it seems people understand that humor is an effective way to get the spotlight on the cause itself and make a point.
Sure, 99% of the time, protests are serious affairs. People are making their voices heard, standing up for causes they believe in, and fighting to change the world. Still, there’s nothing wrong with injecting some humor into the mix. When done right, it can be downright hilarious and help spread the message you were trying to get across — and that’s exactly what these funny posters did. Keep scrolling to see them for yourself!
They’re clever, witty, and make you smile while reminding you that even though things might be bad right now, activism always has room for a good laugh. While some of these funny protest signs are snarky remarks for serious causes, others are for silly and trivial everyday life events and deserve some space on our list!

I often outright ask staff in the stores if they enjoy the loud, endlessly looping Christmas music. All except one have said it one of the worst parts of their job. Why do stores do this? As a consumer, I actually rush out as fast as I can.
InvincibleRodent 2 years ago
I remember when I worked retail I had to beg my manager on the 4th of November to not turn the Christmas music on. So I think it's because of corporate, and certain managers. Anyone who doesn't have to be there to listen to it, basically.

The Christmas season actually starts on the 25th. The four weeks prior are Advent, which is technically not Christmas. Christmas goes from the birth to when the baby was presented in the temple. Of course, December 25th was chosen to replace the feast of Saturnalia. Jesus was actually born in the spring.

Halloween has October. Thanksgiving has November. Christmas gets December. End of story.

I love all of it! Christmas sweaters and sweets season starts in october, cristmas music season starts in november, christmas lights season starts in december. All lasts til 1st of february, the official end of christmas season in bavaria. But nobody has to listen to my christmas music or eat sweets that doesn't want to! I make sure to ask my guests

Count me in! I am all for Cristmas... in December, but when it looks like Nightmare Before Christmas in the supermarked, because they cannot finish Halloween before starting Chrismas, it is too much.
RavenTheCat 2 years ago
Stop selling Christmas stuff in July and let this cat enjoy his darn Halloween in July instead
Jon Steensen 2 years ago
Supermarkeds that start preparing for Christmas in the middle of July by putting up christmas decorations way out of season. I get that Cristmas is nice, but it should not last for months on end. Christmas belongs in December, perhaps end of November, but please don't try to milk that cow any sooner. I think that is tiresome when it gets extended too far, and so does this protester apearantly.

I still don't logically understand why God could hate any of his children, even if they were "f@gs". Didn't he MAKE them that way? You don't get to create something yourself and then decide you don't want it to be that way that YOU made it! (I don't believe in Big Sky Daddy, but that's the gist of what I understand of it.)
