Mar 9 2010Follow The Sign!: How To Get To Hoboken
You gotta admit, that's a pretty clever Photoshop job. Granted not as clever as any of your ideas, but that's because you're so smart and creative and should probably be hired by some company and paid a million dollars a year just for thinking all day. Unfortunately, life isn't fair and neither am I at card games or "pick a number". 7? Nope, it was 2. Well, break's over -- it's back to Hot Topic for you, my friend.

Thanks to Ford, who can take pictures while driving because he's a car.

7. Gerinych - March 10, 2010 12:15 AM
@6 It is, but Hoboken is a real place and Hadouken is not. At least not in US.

I'm getting off at exit 354. I need some crack cocaine and a couple of hookers before I go to Hoboken

I've taken this bridge dozens of times. Its the Walt Whitman Bridge in Philadelphia. There is a Hoboken, NJ (i think its also mentioned in Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle) but that isn't what is on the sign now. It reads "Atlantic City".
But all that aside, pretty cool photoshop..... where the hell is Daisy?
Link to the actual sign on Google Maps (or just click my name):

I still don't know why whoever made this superimposed Secaucus and Hoboken an hour away from where normally are. This pic is from the bridge out of Philly, where i live. Its a pretty clever joke, but we're still a little confused.

@8 FAIL
14. Rob - March 10, 2010 8:15 AM
Actually I find it more comical, that sign on the right is legit for being there going from PA to NJ over a bridge. The shooped sign on the left doesn't actually exist there, thus making even that much more impressive.

LoooooL Gouki is in the next stop.

Have you ever driven in NJ? 4 left turns and you aren't in the exact same spot you started in. No joke. So this sign is 100% plausible for NJ! (and yes Hoboken is a real town in NJ) No where near Rt. 76 or Camden but that's OK. Hoboken is near NYC and Camden is near Philadelphia, PA. But like I said the road signs are so screwed up in NJ...

Hoboken is Frank Sinatra's home town. Just a little useless trivia.

I see that I'm the only one who was thinking of Operation Ivy when I saw this... I mean they have a song about Hoboken. I don't really remember how it goes because I don't care for that song very much.

I used to work for a Hoboken based company, but I worked in PA, and my one coworker could not pronounce Hoboken properly... drove me mad... and I'm not even from NJ I'm from Long Island...
