Look closely at that cow....


Bwahahahahahaha!



WILLISTON, Vt. -Vermont State police are confronting a prisoner prank and investigating who's behind it. Inmates tasked with making decals of the official state seal for state police cruisers took some liberties with the design. And troopers are not happy about it.

--snip--

Hundreds of cruisers patrol Vermont with the state seal standing out on both front doors. The seal was originally designed by Ira Allen in the 1770s. There's a tree, mountains and a cow to honor dairy farming in Vermont.

Four years ago the state wanted more decals for cruisers, giving the job to the prison print shop in Windsor. Inmates were supposed to load the state crest image in as given to them, but someone decided to make a major change-- payback perhaps.

In the new decal, one of the spots on the cow is actually a pig. Pig is a derogatory term for police. A state trooper in Southern Vermont just noticed the altered artwork.

27. Except they should use dicks...

Everybody knows that those "Billy Clubs" are a compensation.
Have you ever noticed how the Police unconsciously fondle & stroke their clubs?

8. And at the end of the day the prisoners will still be in jail and the State Police ...

13. Didn't like the joke, huh?

What jokes one likes and dislikes says a lot about oneself.

[Botany]

21. remind me again on why people are sent to the state penn ....

.... skip those sent on drug charges. Murder .... that is a hoot
Rape .... funny all around armed robbery ..... good times
felony assault ..... just a party time DUI w/ a homicide ..... wild & crazy
guys

[2ndAmForComputers]

26. "skip those sent on drug charges" -- No, I won't. Why should I?

How can you tell the author of the prank wasn't one of those?

[Major Nikon]

15. Yes, but they will have a helluva lot better story to tell their grandkids someday

[sudopod]

18. u mad? nt

[Botany]

22. not mad at all

just pointing out a fact

[2ndAmForComputers]

23. Suuuuuure.

[Cali_Democrat]

31. You mad?

Ya, you mad...

[Rex]

33. And the 'pigs' will now be official!!!

LOL!

[Warren DeMontague]

9. Who says there's no good art made, anymore.

Fucking classic.

[Warren DeMontague]

10. That's what you get for filling your prisons with non-violent pot smokers.

Some of these folks are awfully creative.

[IDemo]

11. "Pig is a derogatory term for police."

That...I did not know....I did not know!

[slay]

12. That. Is. Awesome.

Bwhahahahah indeed!

[2ndAmForComputers]

14. Replacing decals will cost the staggering amount of $800.

State police aren't laughing either. In a statement, Maj. Bill Sheets said "While some may find humor in the decal modifications, the joke unfortunately comes at the expense of the taxpayers."

Pallito expects the bill to replace the offending swine will run about $800.

Well, if I was a taxpayer I'd pay more than my share gladly.

[saras]

16. I'd pay double my share if they would keep them

[2ndAmForComputers]

17. Good point.

[Ratty]

28. That would be classy if they kept them

I admire someone who can respect a really good practical joke and this one is legendary.

[2ndAmForComputers]

34. Class? Come on, it's the Sus genus we're talking about.

[sabrina 1]

32. Lol, I hope someone gives that artist a job. Not only is s/he creative, but they have a great

sense of humor.

[gopiscrap]

19. I love it

how appropriate!!!!

[hootinholler]

20. FOUR YEARS!

4 fucken years!

[Hassin Bin Sober]

24. Bwahahahaha

[lonestarnot]

25. That is pretty fucking rich.

[Blue Owl]

29. I'm smellin' bacon here...

OINK!

30. AWESOME!!!

35. Vermont fails to find culprit in embarrassing pig caper

(Reuters) - A female inmate at a prison print shop suspected of sneaking an image of a pig into the official Vermont state police crest may never be identified after an internal investigation failed to find the culprit.

Authorities could not find the culprit among several women at the shop who were suspected of having altered, more than a year ago, the officially-sanctioned design in a prank that went viral online after it came to light this month.

An investigation into the case is over and no charges are forthcoming, Penny Carpenter, executive assistant with Vermont's Department of Corrections, said on Thursday.

Vermont's approved state police crest depicts a spotted cow against a background of snowy mountains, but the inmates' version, featured one of the cow's spots shaped like a pig in an apparent reference to the pejorative word for police.
