LONDON –– Some signs are quite simply goldmines for creative meddling.

Maybe the letters are a bit suggestive, or maybe (as was the case with this McDonald's billboard) there's some tempting white space that's just begging to be added to.

With the Grand Canal Docks sign in Dublin, things were only ever going to go one way.

Well now... Someone's been up to mischief with plastic bags in the Grand *Canal Docks*... *ahem* pic.twitter.com/yN18MNzqaj— Rick O'Shea (@rickoshea) July 17, 2015

Here's the view from a nearby office block. (Grand Canal Docks is also known as "Silicon Docks" because of all the tech companies based there, so it's worth noting that anyone visiting the offices of Google, Facebook or Twitter today may well have caught a glimpse.)

Not that we're advocating this sort of behaviour or anything, but if you could block out the "G" in "Grand" and somehow fashion a "Y", you could even get "Randy Anal Cocks".

Just putting that out there.
