When those yellow fake road signs were first invented, they were the coolest souvenirs to get for friends when you made a trip to Australia. Lightweight and thin, they were easy to carry, and so much better than those little koala's you can get in bulk with 'Australia' jackets.
These yellow road signs used to comprise of messages such as "Koala 200m" or "no dunnys", stuff typical to Australia. But today, you see things like "nevermind the dog, beware the owner!" And you're supposed to put that up on your car window. Now, what is that supposed to mean? Is that to say "don't mess with me" or is it a mere insult on yourself, since now you equate yourself to your dog?
Not only is it left to the interpretation of those who read it, but how does that verify as a souvenir from Australia?
Perhaps you may find these exact same signs for sale along the streets in China for all you know.
