...and apparently frum men are incapable of self control, being little more than raging hormones on legs...
All The Best

Fake sign, not signed by any rabbi. Someone's idea of a joke.
Posted by: Barry | September 14, 2012 at 11:32 AM
New Headline:
Woman stands under streetlight, Orthodox Jewish man seen fleeing on hairy pogo-stick!
Posted by: Alter Kocker | September 14, 2012 at 11:37 AM
The thing the rabbonim don't point out with modesty and women and the internet is that many of the frummers found with porn on their phone have homosexual porn.
Naturallly they need to keep the spotlight on heterosexual issues hence these types of signs.
Its all just schtick.
Yeshivas have the same modesty standards as our British public schools meaning everyone is assumed to have had a same sex experience. This goes back to Schneerson and his bisexual experiments in Paris.

A useful message. That way the nafkas will be on the corner in the light so the guys don't accidentally try to pick up their wives.

Dear sisters, please be aware that while eating bananas you must slice them into pieces so as not to tittilate the men...Hot Dogs, of course, are forbidden in mixed company...

I agree with Barry: it's a joke.
Posted by: Garnel Ironheart | September 14, 2012 at 12:36 PM
This was also posted in Williamsburg and New Square.
i.e., it is a viral hoax. Poe's Law. So close to the real thing, but not quite.
Posted by: Edgar | September 14, 2012 at 01:11 PM
This sign is actually hanging in Shmarya's bedroom/basement/man cave.
Posted by: PrettyBoyFloyd | September 14, 2012 at 02:52 PM
So why don't they throw stones at the streetlight?
Posted by: Sarek | September 14, 2012 at 03:50 PM
I'm a Sheep. You too?
Listen to your shepherd(Rabbi) he needs to keep the sheep(people) in line as not to stray. And, if you do stray he will send the wolves(shomrim or police) to bring you back to the other sheep.

If anyone else were to try to lure women into the shadows.....

This goes back to Schneerson and his bisexual experiments in Paris.
Wait - what?
Posted by: Jeff | September 14, 2012 at 05:08 PM
Poe's Law, Shmoe's Law. You'll see women obeying the sign.
Posted by: Apostate | September 15, 2012 at 03:35 PM
Boy oh boy are these guys oversexed or what? If they really want to avoid nisyanot, they should stay in the bet midrash 24 hours a day and never have any contact with strange women.
Posted by: Reb Chaim | September 15, 2012 at 08:57 PM
where in lakewood is this posted? which corner?
Posted by: mashiach agent | September 15, 2012 at 09:07 PM
Not endorsed by any rabbi or community council but probably the work of some self-appointed "modesty committee".
Posted by: spacedout BT | September 15, 2012 at 09:41 PM
Yes, it is an inside joke. Yes, a handful of women will fall for it - but do they really stand around under a streetlight and schmooze in Lakewood.
Another boring no-news day.
Posted by: The Anti-Schmendrick | September 15, 2012 at 11:21 PM
Don't insult them. They may start rioting and killing our ambassadors like Muslims. NOT.

"...Schneerson and his bisexual experiments in Paris..."
Detail please!
Posted by: chafetz b'ilum shmo | September 16, 2012 at 08:23 AM
What is the fuss? The greater the nisayon, the greater the reward. These women should be encouraged to stand by the light.
Posted by: Bas Melech | September 16, 2012 at 09:42 AM
This sign was a gag put up by a self-described humorist, before he took it down a few minutes later.
Posted by: MO | September 18, 2012 at 10:28 PM
JEWISH WOMEN STANDING UNDER STREETLIGHTS AND SMOOZING? What will a GENITAL like myself think and 'VICE' versa?!!!
