Thanks!  In New York, of course, the problem is sometimes that you think
you're taking a critical, ironic photograph of a naive sign, when in fact
the sign itself is supposed to be critical and ironic.  (Which makes your
own work something like plagiarism...)  I took down an image of the
model/mermaid advertising bottled water (Vitel?) for that reason.
