I just spent some time looking at it closely since I don’t have a life. The “S,” the “H,” and the “C” appear to have been doctored. They have different textures than the other letters. Why does “OOL” have lines in it, but “SHC” does not? There also appears to be deliberate “texturing” around “SHC” as if texture from the asphalt has been copied from one place to another. Not a convincing piece of work.
I hate to burst your bubble guys, but I’ve seen this in person. I just didn’t think to take a picture while I was there so I had to settle for whatever I could find on the internet. This came from my local newspaper’s website.
It may not be doctored — just the other day as I was on my way to school, I noticed that where they had meant to paint STOP on the road, it was actually SOTP.
Nope, it’s probably real. The lines are meant to prevent the stencils from deforming. After the letters are sprayed, they go back and paint over the lines. Apparently they didn’t finish painting ‘em-perhaps someone caught the mistake ‘in time.’ The discolorations appear because of the way they laid the asphalt; they’re common at the end of a stretch of recently-repaved road, which this disaster was sprayed onto. I will say, though, that the ‘S’ is a very peculiar font. What’s up with that?
Shhhhh, it’s cool…
=)
I think I like it better this way.
Looks like someone has finally put the “cool” back in “school”.

Looks like photoshopped pic to me…
I agree. That is the first thing I thought. It is too clean.

As other have said it… photoshop epic fail.
It’d be funnier if it weren’t ’shopped.

EPIC irony
