Being about the news and all, News Cut probably doesn't have a large enough audience to sustain a "send me your picture of people's cardboard signs" effort. But a guy can dream.
The New York Times' Freakonomics blog has culled some of them from Flickr -- some of them funny (above) and some of them sad, many of them probably untrue.
It's reminiscent of an MPR News story a few years ago about a public art display of homemade signs in Minneapolis. It raised the question whether what's written on the sign actually matters. I'm still waiting for the firm answer to that question.
