Another post for Kay at the Gimp Parade--unlike some theme-y bathroom signage, the wheelchair user in this sign is included in the antenna fun. (Found at Disney California Adventure, in the "Bug's Land" area.)
(There's an equivalent sign on the ladies' room, photo posted here.)
Visual description: A blue accessibility placard with the word "SWING" under the usual symbol; attached to a horizontal bar, to which a heavy-duty playground chain is attached; against a background of trees and blue sky.
Found this via Stay Free!, a blog and zine that critiques advertising and marketing.
UPDATE (7/14): Stay Free! now links to this blog, which says it's a translation of an award-winning Latvian ad campaign from 2004. The edgy Riga-based agency, ZOOM!, proclaims as its motto, "We hate advertising. That's why we make it." Reading around on their site (which is in English), you find this isn't their only work on disability themes. In 2005 they did a drunk-driving campaign in cooperation with Apeirons, a Latvian disability rights organization, called "Drink. Drive. Join." Part of the campaign involved pwds distributing x-rays of broken spines to DUI violators. It's online here (in Latvian, but you get the flavor--one of the print images is at right).
And ad-blogger Coolzor found another campaign--this time by the Organization for Equal Rights of the City of Brussels--"tickets" placed on windshields of illegally parked cars. (A closeup of the ticket is shown at left. Click to read the fine
print.) Coolzor also has translations of a French campaign, called Pain without Borders (Douleur sans Frontieres), which attempt to convey the physical experience of pain from a landmine injury, from napalm burns, from an appendectomy performed under conditions that mirror torture.
