You probably recognize this sign, albeit not with these words on it.

This was the source material for one of last season's most viral hockey photoshops, as some smartass saw fit to replace the words -- which were already sort of weird and creepy -- with words that were even weirder and creepier. Also totally NSFW.

The very funny, very blue photoshop spread across the globe. Someone even turned the doctored photo into a NSFW Halloween costume.

One thing that helped the virality of the image was that many didn't realize they were looking at a forgery. Of course, anyone with an ounce of sense knows there's simply no way that sign would ever have been allowed into an NHL arena, especially now that all the games are televised and the signs run the risk of being beamed out to young viewers at home. If Sean Avery can't say sloppy seconds, an oral sex-themed isn't making it to air.

In spite of the censorship, however, some very weird, creepy, and inappropriate signs have managed to make it past the gate. Let's go on a journey.

There's nothing inappropriate about a man recognizing that another man has beautiful eyes, and Lord knows Taylor Pyatt has been the guy to help many male hockey fans come to that realization, but the combination of this guy and this sign just feels inappropriate, you know? It's so creepy.

I love signs complaining about referees because it's impossible for them to be reactionary. Unless the disgruntled fan went out during the intermission and hastily made a sign -- in which case, I doubt it would be this creative -- it was constructed ahead of time, and the fan just waited for an opportunity to complain about the officiating. Pretty tough to see them as anything but biased in that case. This sign is not objective!

Another inappropriate ref sign. This one poses a decent question, although something tells me that if a married man went to bed with an entire arena full of people, his wife would find out about it. And speaking of wives...

It's really creepy when fan signs bring them up. Good Lord, this sign. Lots of fan signs indicate amorous intentions, but this one pushes it from the realm of silly fantasy into desperate, terrifying reality. Look at that girl's face. Then look at the clearly unimpressed fan next to her. That fan is all of us.
