Vermont Inmates Slip Pig Image Into Police Decal

MONTPELIER, VT - Inmates working at a Vermont correctional unit's print shop managed to sneak a prank image of a pig into a state police crest.

The image is emblazoned on police cars, and 30 cruisers sported the design for the last year.

The official crest depicts a spotted cow against a background of snowy mountains. But the inmates' version featured one of the cow's spots shaped like a pig in an apparent reference to the pejorative word for police.

Vermont contracts with correctional facilities employing prisoners to make some print products, including the cruiser decals. Police said someone who works at the print shop changed the emblem from the officially sanctioned design.

A police employee noticed the prank on Wednesday and reported it. Police said the 60 16-inch door decals would be removed as soon as possible.

"While some may find humor in the decal modifications, the joke unfortunately comes at the expense of the taxpayers," Police Major Bill Sheets said in a statement.

You know what is a bigger waste of taxpayers money?

When a cop can't take a joke and leave well enough alone.

I find it funny that it took so long before someone noticed.  So....what the hell are those three things to the left of the cow?

According to Wikipedia;

sheaves (bundles of cereal grains)

Sheaves of grain ... I thought at first they were little men or mushrooms  ... they definitely need a new graphic artist

Could they not slap another sticker on top of it, or disguise it with a top hat. Kind of like a cover up tatoo

But from the artist's point of view, it is in fact perfect.

I guess it should take a vote of the people at this point. But it's like ElGrecko getting sh8 from the church on a commission , or any other artist , for that matter on down to, any forkingone this date.

Commission Artists , and , well you get ART!  Sell the leftover stickers to pay the fry brain taxpayers back. They will sell.

Well, almost. They could have had the pig eating a donut. 

[Duke McDukiedook]

Now that would be funny.

I think the people of Vermont should speak up and state that in these tough economic times there just isn't money to be wasted on switching police decals around, and that they should have to live with the pig image.  I mean, nobody proofed the image before giving the go ahead to paste it up everywhere?  That's funny and idiotic.  Good job inmates!

Being from Vermont,
the sticker was probably done by a blind inmate trying to find his inner self
to promote peace and love.
