Popular signboard

I was waiting for a friend in front of the Botanic Gardens today, and within that 30 minute wait, I observed about at least 10 people who took single photographs of themselves with the sign that said 'Singapore Botanic Gardens'. The most interesting pose was a guy who faced the sign directly, stuck his butt out and said to his girlfriend, "ok I'm ready, take it now! quick!"
Perhaps it was a way of saying "ok I'll do it because you told me to, BUT I don't actually want to" Anyhow, despite being annoyed, his girlfriend took the photograph, and then made him take one of her, enthusiastically doing a funny Sailormoon pose.
It's amazing how much popularity these signs can gain... for better or for worse.
