Rue Rude on Dog Poop in Paris

I found a site today with a hilarious picture, originally taken by someone called Ggugg on flickr, with a dog poop sign that's been "altered" by someone sick of all the dog poop.  Either that or they have something clinically wrong with them.  Maybe both.

I found the image at Rue Rude, a blog written by an American living in Paris, along with a scathing first-hand analysis of dog poop in the city.  20 years of experience living there gives the author a credible perspective on the problem.  According to Rue Rude, hundreds of people go to the hospital every year because of dog poop. The blog is very well written and worth checking out if you are interested in Paris or not.  Did you know in Paris they used to have a squad of dog poop collectors on mopeds?
