Obscene sign in Boston offers unique menu

Families driving down Route 1 in Boston did not expect to see a construction sign that said, "Penis for lunch".

Transportation authorities said the sign was the work of a prankster who was able to hack into the system that controls the signs.



Authorities didn't find out about the sign until it was up for most of the morning and afternoon. The sign was soon shut off, instead of being re-programmed.

"Some people might see it as a joke, but this is a road that is travelled on by families and children and there are some people that don't find it funny," said a transportation spokesman.

There's a news video here, which for some reason FOX25 news saw the need to censor the word penis.
