Bitter Borders Signs Go Viral

Buzzfeed rounded up photographs of homemade signs posted at soon-to-be-closed Borders around the country (including the photo embedded above from ShoottheJ)–earning nearly 17,000 views in a single day.

Check it out at Buzzfeed: “At least it’s justified bitterness manifesting in the form of some awesome passive aggression.

But when you’ve got nothing to lose, humor and irony reign supreme.”

Last week, we posted a Borders sign that generated 280 comments from readers. Earlier this week, eBookNewser posted a photo of a sarcastic sign outside of another closing Borders.
