Curious censoring
At this point “change the default password” advice is pretty old news. Similarly, pranks when people don’t do so are also a little tired – there’s a whole gallery of altered signs accompanying an article on the web indicating what the default password is over here. NBC4 has a shot here of a roadsign sign that’s been tampered with here in our area and made to say things that VDOT probably doesn’t normally say to the public. I mean, maybe in Manassas but not on the GW Parkway!
More interesting to me, though, is the parts of the image NBC blurred out. Okay, F*** I get why you redact that. B***SACK? Is ‘ballsack’ really censor-worthy?

Why is “F*** Tacos” making me giggle so much?

I think “FUCKTACOS” is going to be my new non-sequitur epithet of choice.

Nothing makes me laugh as much as the term ballsack.

The uncensored sign on is DCRTV
A reminder too, that the GW is maintained by the National Park Service, not VDOT.
