3.) Any and every billboard for Cellino & Barnes The Barnes Group.
Steve Barnes, you need some fangs. Before he and Russ Cellino had their tragic breakup, I often thought a welcome addition to the firm (and subsequently the billboards) would be Max Schreck, in full Nosferatu makeup.
2.) McGruff the Crime Dog Billboard, St. Paul & Upper Falls
This one may be playing in other parts of town, but in case you haven’t seen it: The board reads “When you know your neighbors, the bad guys stand out.” McGruff stands off to the side in front of a series of cute, 50s-kitsch style line drawings of anthropomorphic dog portraits. The last drawing is a human with the requisite “bandit” accessory: the black-cat eyemask. There’s a fair amount of white space in which I would love to paint “Four legs good, two legs bad.”
1.) The City of Rochester’s Defacer Eraser
Just on principle alone.

There was an absolute classic on Syracuse's Erie Boulevard recently: "GRAFFITI: IT'S A CRIME." Some heroic individual climbed up and edited it with some big fat red spraypaint to read: "GRAFFITI: IT'S A FUN CRIME."
