SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - People who solicit prostitutes in Oakland, California, could find their faces plastered on billboards under a new shaming program that one civil rights group calls bad public policy.

The city of 400,000 across the bay from San Francisco started putting up billboards on Wednesday showing men arrested for soliciting sex. Other signs invite prostitutes to quit by calling a help line.

How interesting. I spent some time in California last month with the family. This picture struck me as rather curious at the time:

I'm not sure...I don't ever click the post button twice....perhaps it is something else?

I wish I could delete those stupid double-posts. It makes me look like an idiot.

(You're doing quite a fine job looking like an idiot without this effect anyway)
It is weird, it seems to happen to you a lot Shanshu. Phlabibit, any idea why?

The "I couldn't hear you" joke? I assume that was because of my double-post. But then I noticed that it wasn't quoting the double-post, it was quoting my other post.

So then I assumed that the "I can't hear you" comment was about that new post.


Now I'm confused.
