Do You Think This Is Offensive?
When I first saw the story, I thought so - but I now get what the artist was trying to do.
But it still seems pretty stupid. If you stopped and thought for a second, "How will this come across?" surely you wouldn't put the sign up?

jno makes an important - and overlooked point - the actual meaning behind the warning sign is about watching out for the person(s) depicted to avoid running over them, not being warned about them.
The other salient point made elsewhere on the thread are the issues of context and location.
When you understand that this sign is part of a collection designed to make an artistic point, then fair enough - but appearing to place one unique sign like this in an area with a high population of Jewish people is naïve and insensitive.
The artist has apologised - time to move on.

I think the sign is fine!
mr Boo travels to work through a very heavily populated Jewish area in Manchester on his way to and from work and he says the vast majority of them are mental as far as crossing roads go. They apparently blithely sail across the road without checking to see if it's clear beforehand. This coupled with the fact they're predominantly dressed in black from head to toe makes it particularly hair raising, especially when it's dark.
