This is bloody glorious! Lisette Model!
Bizarre sign because (a) the checkboxes are enormous and (b) the second imperative, taken literally, instructs readers to oppose the site globalwarming.com.

Yeah, that's just dumb.

Someone's going to get a stern talking to over this poorly executed concept.

I expected better from New York... ;)

And, considering that people are rushing past and reading quickly, the sign can also read "Do nothing: fight global warming."

Bah.

If they spaced it right, it might be ok.

Re: the spacing, note that this is cropped, which was perhaps unfair of me.

But what about these checkboxes? Are there any rules of thumb about checkboxes? Like, no higher than, say, cap-height? Vertically centered, or aligned with baseline? All I know is that optically this doesn't work for me.

The spacing issue for me is in the fact that the options seem to be either:

• do nothing; or
• fight globalwarming.com

I don't really want to fight globalwarming.com. I'd kinda like to work with them.

Yeah, those check boxes do seem ridiculously large.

Oh, I thought you also meant that the leading seems too loose given the small margins.

In sum, this is not a fair representation of this poster.
