Did You See Them? 'Signs, signs everywhere there's signs'

A more ominous sign is the one being posted by the State Department warning American travelers about traveling to Europe this summer.

It pointed to two events in particular — the Catholic Church's World Youth Day in late July in Poland and the European Soccer Championship, which France will host from June 10-July 10 — as potential targets.

They found it in Pennsylvania last week, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

"Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs
Fuckin' up the scenery, breaking my mind
