I think I must be gullible today. Is that real?? Or a gag?

I'm voting gag, Bradley. I don't think ACORN would be quite so blatant about it.

It's not a part of town where you'd expect to find conservative yukksters.

From an LA Times blog:

The controversy over ACORN workers who answered questions about starting a prostitution business while being secretly videotaped has moved to Echo Park.

As art.

Residents in Echo Park and surrounding communities have noticed spray painted signs on at least a few walls that state: "ACORN Funded Prostitution Zone" in black letters. They have been noticed by local photographers as well as Eastsider L.A. and Curbed L.A.

Like the Obama/Joker street art of a few months ago, the artist is so far anonymous. And, of course, it's unclear whether it's political commentary or irony. . .

P.S. But first it made me laugh out loud.

It would be nice to think that Bernadette and Bill are out there somewhere, weeping at the magnitude of their humiliation. It ain't likely

Perhaps not, Crid, but one doesn't need to be conservative to be disgusted by ACORN, so this prankster isn't necessarily a conservative. I think the marker would have been even better if it had said, "ACORN funded UNDERAGE prostitution zone." Why should that particularly repulsive aspect not be mentioned?
