it's a crime, as well.

I think it's much nicer painted this way and it certainly has the meaning I would like to send to the Russians. Well, actually, I'd prefer to spit in Putin's face. But this will do. As will the naked guys who walked back and forth across it. Back and forth, back and forth. For quite a long time. I'd imagine that pissed the Russians off. Good.

But you know, most places do have laws about painting traffic signs. But this is just a crosswalk. Nobody changed the speed limit. Or messed with traffic lights.
