I've received several emails about this very well done sign hack first mentioned over at design philadelphia this morning. The prankster(s) even managed to get the signs behind the glass from what I can tell in the fuzzy photos I've seen so far. The photo above was sent in by a friend of the show's facebook page (no idea whose page, but if you're reading this, drop me a line and I'll post a link).
Where are these signs being posted? Regional Rail? BSL? MFL? Lemme know.
A closer look at design philadelphia's shots here and here. The full text of the sign:
The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority
(SEPTA) is committed to providing non-discriminatory
transportation services to all its passengers, including
schizophrenics, drug addicts, Irish Catholics, hipsters,
homos, prostitutes, gentrifying transplants, raging
maniacs, tourists, obnoxious Penn students, corner boys,
pimps, drunk rich kids who still think Old City is cool, and
terrified suburbanites who tremble with unease at the
sight of everyone.Any person who is or seeks to be a patron of SEPTA
public vehicle shall be entitled to the same depressing
experience of loud cell phones, obese people eating
McDonalds, parents telling their toddlers to "Shut the
Fuck Up!", and a constant inch-deep layer of urine-soaked
trash and debris.No person or group of persons shall be discriminated
against on any grounds with regard to routing,
scheduling, or quality of transportation service furnished
by SEPTA, with the following exceptions—race, color,
socioeconomic status, and proximity to suburbs.Any person who has experienced a cleaner, more
efficient, more extensive , and better managed public
transportation in the U.S. (e.g. Most if not all) can
feel free to notify SEPTA about potential improvements,
which shall promptly be ignored.
For a long time, I've wanted to see a SEPTA version of this sign come to life, but nobody's stepped up just yet. Will the sign prankster hone his/her/their design skillz and remake an outage sign for all of us to chuckle at briefly before cursing SEPTA once again for a real delay on the very line you're waiting to arrive?

The second paragraph is so true.
I couldn't agree more.
Whether this sign was actually place somewhere in or around a SEPTA vehicle, or just a photoshoped version of a real sign, it is still great!
I'll be keeping my eyes peeled.
right on the money. i hate those fucking parents.
Wow, that is amazing!
Nice job, whoever did that.
I guess it is hip to make fun of obese people and homos.
i gained significant popularity points when i started to make fun of obese and homo people. so yes, it's totally hip.
SEPTA has pretty good service and express trains after the Phillies game that move alot of people as compared with Boston or New York (Citi Park)
Shame about the bigoted fat-hating assumptions there within.
hm, well no matter how divine you might consider yourself to be, I'm a homo too and I could care less. why don't you re-read the entire sign again and catch the part where pretty much every "label" a person can apply to themselves is called out and mocked. nice to see a homo who supports the separate but equal trash that some opponets to equality love to tout. I'm sure they will be glad to know someone as obesely homo as your divine self agrees with them. in short? shut up. :)
many kudos to whoever pulled this sign off. I love it.
i swear i just saw this on the R6 today, but didn't think anything of it.
Whomever is responsible for this should set up a site where they sell copies of it. As a daily SEPTA rider, I want one for my kitchen.

How has SEPTA failed you?
