Warning Signs
I have no idea if the parking sign at the right is real (OK, I suspect that it is fake) but I really, really hope that it is. More brilliant signs on the disability awareness theme can be found at Adverbox.
UPDATE: The signs are translations of a real ad campaign in Latvia from 2004.
UPDATE 2: More great work by the same agency on similar themes here.

It's real, saw it the other week and an advertising blog that i found (i think) though aftergirl. (http://leighhouse.typepad.com/advergirl/)
Annoying as hell since i can't find it now, but i'll look again later.

I consider it to be in very poor taste, because it implies that being handicapped is a punishment for past misdeeds.

That is an interesting point, Said, and a valid one. It certainly made me feel like a bit of a dick. That said, the only time I believe in karma is when bad things happen to bad people.
