If state s porn sign won t slow down drivers, nothing will

An electronic road sign on Cambridge Street flashed ``EXPECT DELAYS'' and ``ROAD WORK AHEAD'' but also alerted drivers that ``PORN IS GREAT.''

It's the second time such a message has appeared along the delay-plagued stretch of roadwork in Beacon Hill, but state officials aren't laughing.

``Obviously the message is unacceptable and will be taken down (Sunday) tonight,'' said Jon Carlisle, spokesman for the state's Executive Office of Transportation.

He said while there are some electronic signs that can be hacked into remotely, someone broke through a locked panel to change the flashing message on this one.

``That's pretty clever,'' said Chris Hickey, 27, of Boston while walking by the sign yesterday.

But her friend, Andrew D'Agostino, said he would have aimed for something more original.

``Of course it's (porn) great, tell me something I don't know,'' he said.

Ya know that portable speed sign trailer with radar you guys put out along the road? I wonder if tweeking it up about 50mph would get drivers to slow down even more... 8)

Funny thing is that someone with a very high pay grade will want someone to pay for that.

I would love to interogate the guy who did it.

I wouldn't call that "innuendo" I'd call it blatant advertising. On the other hand... it seems to work at slowing down cars.
