The spacing is different
Do you really think people do spacing measurements when they are writing their signs?
The weird thing about that sign is that the “r’ and the “f” are lowercase, while everything else is uppercase. But I think that was the sign-maker as well, not a photoshop.
I don’t really think the NY Daily News was going around photoshopping signs for a story. People can’t spell. In the (apparently photoshopped) give Obama a bj sign, the word “Somebody” is spelled “Sombody”.
I bet some of these people even know they got it wrong, but it’s too hard to go back and re-do the sign.
