Sign of the times

11

Evidently someone has too much time on his hands. A Bronson for Mayor sign on Minnesota near Tudor Road was cleverly vandalized, giving drivers a reason to take a double take. With exact color match, the Bronson campaign slogan “A New Direction,” was altered to say, “A Nude Erection.”

The prank is even more humorous since Bronson is running to replace former Mayor Ethan Berkowitz, who resigned in October after a nude selfie of him surfaced on the internet, compliments of former news anchor Maria Athens. Forrest Dunbar back in October came to the defense of Berkowitz and said that Athens was “unwell.”

Dunbar, who is also running for mayor, fumed on social media that although he doesn’t condone the vandalism, dozens of his signs have been vandalized this election season, costing his campaign thousands of dollars.
