This is fake! The same series of signs were posted near my house about 6 weeks ago and addressed to a girl named Erica…the radio stations made a huge deal out of it. I wonder what it’s really for?
I got the email that said it was Wellington too. it’s not. The trees are all wrong and although it looks a little bit like Ngaio Gorge (where they claimed it was) the signs, and the lack of a train line, ruke it out. Looks like Australia to me.
It’s entirely possible that there is one real set, somewhere, possibly even the ones above, and that because this got a lot of attention other people elsewhere decided to copy them. Because people like media attention. And cheese. People like cheese.
I agree, this is from Wellington, New Zealand. It was just down the road from where I live.
It was a while ago and we definitely haven’t heard anyone taking the credit for it since… but even if it is fake, it was funny!
I got this in an email claiming it as Wellington. If you look really closely ar the trees it just doesn’t seem like wellington of Ngaio Gorge. Too many tall trees, not lush enough, not enough ferns…
Put this one in the “not crazy” and “not email” pile please.
Frankly, I think this is a stroke of genius. I mean, can you imagine what a super bitch this Jennifer must be if she warranted this level of hostility?
Still, I’m betting the guy had a few of his old baseball trophies broken…
What have you been smoking? This is totally crazy. The justified response to a hostile girlfriend is to just leave their belongings on the stoop with a note and change the locks. Or dude, call a cop. Seriously, there is nothing that justifies this kind of a break-up.
Anyone that breaks up in this way without already having all her shit packed up sitting on the porch for when she gets back is definitely crazy. Maybe not crazy like mentally unstable. But at least crazy as in amazingly stupid.
That is such an inflammatory way to do it, I would have gone so far to have all her shit sitting beneath the last sign. I’d have the locks already changed out, and a one week vacation booked. No matter what though, you wouldn’t want this chick coming back in the house.
Faking a pregnancy would warrant it. Sleeping with a best friend would warrant it. There’s lots of things that would warrant it. Stop being such a whiner.
Your idea of “warrant” is quite immature…besides the fact that this is most likely a prank, any guy that would use this method of breakup is nothing less than a coward. If she slept with your friend, has his kid and told you it was yours, you have every right to be pissed, but she deserves a real “confrontation” and to live with the actual results. Even if you don’t like what she’s done to you, you are still an adult and should act like one.
I could be crazy, myself, but I think baring someone reentry to their home without warning is actually more cruel than using a sign to hurt someone’s feelings. People keep complaining that he gave her six days to leave after pulling a stunt like this, but that just indicates to me that he might be a decent human being in spite of the prank. He felt like seriously hurting her for a moment, but not fucking her over in a way that could potentially leave her temporarily homeless and without a place to store her possessions.
Without knowing what’s going on between these two, I gotta say that doing something this cruel & publicly humiliating, and then allowing her 6 days before he plans to change the locks, is setting himself up for some flavor of revenge. :/
P.S. At least he didn’t follow all this with a “Burma Shave” sign.
I think a Burma-Shave rhyme tacked onto the end of that would have been brilliant! Jennifer my former mate/our love now has/an expiry date/get your bags/out of the house/and find yourself/another spouse/Burma-Shave!
I totally agree. Seems like a really over the top way of breaking up with someone and if she truly deserves it, then she probably wouldn’t think twice about about doing something 10 times nastier to him. Maybe they deserve each other. And yes, I thought of Burma Shave signs, too. In fact, that Tom Waits song is going through my head as I type this.
Is it just me or do the last two signs seem to be slightly different handwriting? Or at least thicker… makes me wonder if someone else added the last two, making it worse than a simple “Will you marry me? Haha, just kidding!” (As in, “I wouldn’t propose to you with signs like this, that’s tacky.”) Or maybe I’m just looking too much into it….
the suspect thing about this is the 6 days business – surely if he’s going to do something this asshole-ish and the woman lives with him, even if he cleared out for the next 6 days, she could probably do major damage to house and home in the meantime? If it’s real, way to (not) use those brains!
You, too? I’ve NEVER believed that anyone named Jennifer ever existed. I mean, have you ever met anyone named Jennifer? I have, and I’m not convinced she was real.
Maybe Jennifer is foreign language translation of “giraffe.”
this is a hoax. I heard about this on the radio two to three weeks ago. It is in Australia. Apparently, a couple of guys were bored with their commute, so they thought they would ’spice it up’ a bit. I’m sure you can’t check every email for validity, but this prank actually made the news.
Hahaha. This isn’t crazy, it’s brilliant. I’m sure Jennifer did something worthy of the signs. If they were living together I doubt this variety of breakup would be worth her inevitable reaction if she hadn’t screwed the poor man over something royal…
What could she possibly have done that was worthy of the signs? When you get bad enough to be “worthy” of the signs, you are bad enough to get the police involved.
Call me under-reacting, but I’ve been cheated on. Cheating does not merit this level of hostility. You have a month to move out, and I’ll treat you civilly. Sure, I’ve been hurt but I’m not stooping to your level.
@Diane: I agree. I don’t see why people are so quick to assume A) this is real and B) it’s all Jennifer’s fault. Neither one seems likely to me. But for argument’s sake let’s say both assumtions are valid. Let’s say Jennifer sold Signmaker’s Maserati for $300 and bought crack with the proceeds, then had a party in their apartment with all her crack-ho friends and broke most of Signmaker’s remaining possessions, then passed out in a drunken stupor on top of Signmaker’s dog, breaking his neck. Let’s pretend all this happened. Why the !@&^%# would Signmaker still allow Jennifer 6 days of access to his place? Makes no sense.
I’ve never lived in Cincinnati, but I live outside Washington DC. Seeing a pic of people driving on the wrong side of the road wouldn’t convince me that it wasn’t here.
In the spirit of “giving the benefit of the doubt,” B-Furd might have meant “this is in Cincinnati” as in “this phenomenon has reached Cincinnati,” not specifically “These photos were taken in Cincinnati.”
A google search turns up reports of a nearly identical “breakup” in Norwood/Oakley/Cincinnati, Ohio, which appeared approximately a week after the Sydney signs. I mean, the handwriting looks similar and everything.
I expect it’ll crop up in at least a dozen cities worldwide by the end of the month.
The one I posted about (Erica) was in Cincinnati–right over by Rookwood. The first sign was eventually replaced by one asking Erica to call one of the radio DJs at KISS 107.
This is like the “Jumbo-Tron Marriage Proposal”, some douche proposes to/breaks up with a girl with a really common name in public, with no clarification of who it is , then everyone named Jennifer looks over at their boyfriend expecting him to a) pull out a ring any second b)ask her for her set of keys to his apartment.
A friend of mine and I once wrote an additional eleven verses to the Paul Simon song “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover” because the original only mentions five or six such ways.
I believe “Horse Head in her Bed, Achmed” was the most popular lyric.
What about the random women named “Jennifer” who have a boyfriend who happened to drive along this stretch of road, but who were not the intended readers of the message? Lollerskates.
I hope for his sake that this did not take place in Texas. you know we have that “he deserved killing” defense here. any women on the jury and this girl will get off either not guilty or a hung jury.
Ah, but I disagree! There’s plenty of women that would say,’She deserved it.’ Particularly if she’s one of those women that like to go around trashing cars after listening to too much country music and are suddenly convinced he’s with a blonde bimbo in a bar…..She’d deserve that signage thing mucking with his truck.
What would make this funnier is if it was the Mother In Law to be, or the Sister of the Groom that put those signs up, trying to Unmake a Happy Couple. Won’t it make family life entertaining if they stay together!?
If you were my girl (if you were white) I”d take you to the nearest black bar and “SELL” you to the biggest dicked bro and lock you in a room until you couldn”t WALK!!! delvalle.anthony11@yahoo.com
Hi everyone, I’m actually from Australia and I can confirm that this was indeed faked by a couple of bored guys who thought they’d give the locals something to talk about. At first the media wasn’t sure, but eventually it all came out. But I imagine you’d have to feel pretty good that you pulled a prank that got world-wide attention!
Although you do have to wonder if they did accidentally screw up the reationships of any “Jennifers” in the area.
It is cool that so many ppl here are simply “stupid”. Human doesn’t need to be genius to see that first two ads were made by someone else. So, someone just begged for Jennifer’s hand and someone else stopped there and added another ads saying they are breaking up.
Look at the font style and type of paint and you will see it on your own.
I’m sticking with those claiming “publicity stunt” as there’s be several of these pop up in several countries. They all say pretty much the same thing and none of the news agencies covering them have been able to identify either party in each instance.
So, not crazy, just a lame idea to market something, which we’ll likely find out about after they’re done winding everyone up.
You guys are all assuming that the breakup part is real. If you notice, the first two are written on large sheets of paper, and the second 2 on cardboard. It’s entirely possible, and even more plausible that some guy proposed to his girlfriend with the first two signs, and then somebody came along and posted the second two signs to be funny.
Firstly, these signs definitely were posted on Bilgola Bends, Northern Beaches, NSW, Australia cos I was there and I saw it along with half the population of Avalon, Whale Beach and Palmy around 6am in the morning of 29 August 2009.
Secondly, these three suburbs are the only ones past the bends to the end of Barrenjoey Penninsular so there can’t have been too many Jennifers to get confused. The signs were meant for people in these suburbs to see as they were on the left hand side of the road going from Avalon to Sydney.
Thirdly, no one mentions the following two sets of signs. On 30 August we had “Make that 4 days!” and on 1 September we had “Jennifer… Don’t worry, I will be your rebound… Call Dom (Tit) on xxx [mobile number]“.
What I want to know is, did anyone ring the number? Stupidly I didn’t, but had I known it would turn into such an international mystery I would have done.
Nellie’s link, http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,,26150371-5013016,00.html says a couple of local lads, Daniel Boocock and Sean Powderly, admitted they were bored and did it as a prank. This may explain why there have been similar occurances in other parts of the world, i.e. the idea was not original perhaps?
However, again, they don’t mention the following 2 days of signs. Plus, just cos they said they did it doesn’t prove anything. They may have thought, “hey, that’s got everyone talking, let’s say we did it and get some publicity!”
Everyone screaming “Wellington NZ,” are out of their minds. Theres thousands of articles with the exact same pictures all talking about it being in Australia.. some of which even include pictures the guys holding the signs.
….
…… the cherry on the crazy (psycho) cake for me here is that it looks like he posted this cruel, presumably shocking message (intended to make her emotions turbulent) on a highway, on a CURVE, going onto an OVERPASS or bridge.
I think you could actually make a case for attempted murder.

For something truly crazy, post Jennifer’s response. I envision a pile of cars…
Wow. Just… wow.
Haha, hilarious.
This is fake! The same series of signs were posted near my house about 6 weeks ago and addressed to a girl named Erica…the radio stations made a huge deal out of it. I wonder what it’s really for?
some sort of viral marketing maybe? please keep us updated if you hear anything!
Not a fake; these are from New Zealand and were posted in various newspapers. Seen in the capital city Wellington
I got the email that said it was Wellington too. it’s not. The trees are all wrong and although it looks a little bit like Ngaio Gorge (where they claimed it was) the signs, and the lack of a train line, ruke it out. Looks like Australia to me.
http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,26145474-952,00.html
Not fake. And looks like Sydney, not Wellington, per this report. Or, fake and seen in both.
It’s entirely possible that there is one real set, somewhere, possibly even the ones above, and that because this got a lot of attention other people elsewhere decided to copy them. Because people like media attention. And cheese. People like cheese.
I’m going to do this around my home.
for reals. I definitely want to do this in my neighboorhood.
burnmashave?
Burmashave…. could be. It’s been a while since they used that ad campaign. Maybe they’re out of practice – the signs don’t even rhyme.
Jennifer dear
You treated me like your slave
I hate you so
Get out now
And don’t forget the Burmashave
Has a nice ring to it, really.
hahaha love the Burmashave reference!
I’m too young to remember those signs, but i’ve heard they were legendary!
Hey, I just got a “Dear Jane” e-mail the other day… some guys will try *anything*
that’s australia, isn’t it? nsw? can you let me know where that was?
cheers
m
Yea…09/30/09 in Northern Sydney
http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,26144851-421,00.html
I live right near there, its on Bilgola Bends. Its TRUE.
Actually Wellington, New Zealand
I agree, this is from Wellington, New Zealand. It was just down the road from where I live.
It was a while ago and we definitely haven’t heard anyone taking the credit for it since… but even if it is fake, it was funny!
The news article I found says Sydney. May well be a fake, if it turned up in Wellington, too.
I got this in an email claiming it as Wellington. If you look really closely ar the trees it just doesn’t seem like wellington of Ngaio Gorge. Too many tall trees, not lush enough, not enough ferns…
That dude is going to get BEAT!! Ok, yeah, they’ll break up, but the man is in for a world of hurt before he gets his place back!!!
Put this one in the “not crazy” and “not email” pile please.
Frankly, I think this is a stroke of genius. I mean, can you imagine what a super bitch this Jennifer must be if she warranted this level of hostility?
Still, I’m betting the guy had a few of his old baseball trophies broken…
Or what a complete Jackass this guy actually is.

By being a humorless dick?
That’s worked really well for millions of guys already.
I could be crazy, myself, but I think baring someone reentry to their home without warning is actually more cruel than using a sign to hurt someone’s feelings. People keep complaining that he gave her six days to leave after pulling a stunt like this, but that just indicates to me that he might be a decent human being in spite of the prank. He felt like seriously hurting her for a moment, but not fucking her over in a way that could potentially leave her temporarily homeless and without a place to store her possessions.
The sign doesn’t say that she lives there, you just assumed as much. Maybe she left a sweater or other items at his place? We’ll never know…
Umm… “You have six days to move out.” A pretty reasonable basis for such an assumption, IMO.
and then whammo! break-up sex!
Put yourself in the “nobody gives a damn what you think, you annoying, nitpicky little bitch” pile. Please.
I’d have to move you out of the way first.
I agree with J.D. Pure genius! ROFL!
Got to wonder though, just how many Jennifers freaked out on their boyfriends after seeing that.
LOL, I wonder how many Jennifers thought that was about them.
LOL – good point. I bet a lot of boyfriends had a lot of explaining to do thanks to this person.
Wonder if he found her screwing around and she told him “If ya want it put a ring on it” then it’s actually kinda justified
I totally agree with you. It wouldn’t just be justified, it’d be called for! ^_^
breakup WIN!
NOT IT!!!!
I bet the whole thing is a hoax.
BA HA HA HA!!
ouch
This is so mean
I saw this on EatLiver.com the other day and wrote about it on my blog (http://bit.ly/u8id5). Yes, MX, it’s from Bigola, NSW, Australia. http://www.eatliver.com/i.php?n=4849
Without knowing what’s going on between these two, I gotta say that doing something this cruel & publicly humiliating, and then allowing her 6 days before he plans to change the locks, is setting himself up for some flavor of revenge. :/

Eggomania, that is pure win.
You may now be my favorite person in all the internet.
Jennifer / please be my wife / only kidding / get out mah life / you leave me / so undersexed / get yer crap gone / by Thursday next / Burma Shave
I totally agree. Seems like a really over the top way of breaking up with someone and if she truly deserves it, then she probably wouldn’t think twice about about doing something 10 times nastier to him. Maybe they deserve each other. And yes, I thought of Burma Shave signs, too. In fact, that Tom Waits song is going through my head as I type this.
I am not convinced that this is real.
Me either now. It’s been cited as being from Sydney, NSW and Bigola NSW, and Wellington NZ.
And Cincinnati, where we apparently drive on the left side of the road and where palm trees grow freely.
Is it just me or do the last two signs seem to be slightly different handwriting? Or at least thicker… makes me wonder if someone else added the last two, making it worse than a simple “Will you marry me? Haha, just kidding!” (As in, “I wouldn’t propose to you with signs like this, that’s tacky.”) Or maybe I’m just looking too much into it….
I don’t think there’s a real Jennifer. I just don’t buy it.

Ask God. He lurks here, and I’m pretty sure He’d know.
…i went to school with 27 jennifers……
Dude is not getting his security deposit back on that apartment.
this is a hoax. I heard about this on the radio two to three weeks ago. It is in Australia. Apparently, a couple of guys were bored with their commute, so they thought they would ’spice it up’ a bit. I’m sure you can’t check every email for validity, but this prank actually made the news.

Last I checked cheating was not against the law, but could certainly warrant a response like this…

See, and that’s why I like you Firefly.
This guy isn’t crazy just an a-hole.
I can’t help but wonder if the first two were legit and someone else put up the rest.
I thought about the same thing, too.
Yes, this would absolutely qualify as crazy if it were a real breakup and not just a publicity stunt. But I http://www.doubtit.com.
Sorry, I didn’t realize that was going to create a hyperlink. Don’t click on it.
This is in Cincinnati…it was all over the local news!
It couldn’t have been Cincinnati because all the cars are driving on the left side of the road. You fail.
It must get tiring pointing out the obvious to the oblivious.
I’ve never lived in Cincinnati, but I live outside Washington DC. Seeing a pic of people driving on the wrong side of the road wouldn’t convince me that it wasn’t here.
Yeah, palm trees are really common in Cincinnati. This is most definitely not Cincinnasti.
In the spirit of “giving the benefit of the doubt,” B-Furd might have meant “this is in Cincinnati” as in “this phenomenon has reached Cincinnati,” not specifically “These photos were taken in Cincinnati.”

I now want to do this in my town but just make up a name. Maybe an april fools prank or something like that.
Harsh!
FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!
Have they found his body yet?
This is like the “Jumbo-Tron Marriage Proposal”, some douche proposes to/breaks up with a girl with a really common name in public, with no clarification of who it is , then everyone named Jennifer looks over at their boyfriend expecting him to a) pull out a ring any second b)ask her for her set of keys to his apartment.
Real or fake, it’s pretty hilarious.
A friend of mine and I once wrote an additional eleven verses to the Paul Simon song “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover” because the original only mentions five or six such ways.
I believe “Horse Head in her Bed, Achmed” was the most popular lyric.
too funny
leave her for dead, fred
After eggomania, you are my second favorite internet-person.
What about the random women named “Jennifer” who have a boyfriend who happened to drive along this stretch of road, but who were not the intended readers of the message? Lollerskates.
Real or fake, either way I feel guilty for laughing at it XD
I hope for his sake that this did not take place in Texas. you know we have that “he deserved killing” defense here. any women on the jury and this girl will get off either not guilty or a hung jury.
Ah, but I disagree! There’s plenty of women that would say,’She deserved it.’ Particularly if she’s one of those women that like to go around trashing cars after listening to too much country music and are suddenly convinced he’s with a blonde bimbo in a bar…..She’d deserve that signage thing mucking with his truck.
What would make this funnier is if it was the Mother In Law to be, or the Sister of the Groom that put those signs up, trying to Unmake a Happy Couple. Won’t it make family life entertaining if they stay together!?
This is the biggest bushett I have ever heard!
I call bullshit!
This jennifer would burn everything before he gets home.
Ha! I was wondering if you’d chime in. I don’t blame you one bit…
Hahaha that’s hilarious. I should do that to my girlfriend. She drives me crazy sometimes.
hahaha wth i wanna do something that
If you were my girl (if you were white) I”d take you to the nearest black bar and “SELL” you to the biggest dicked bro and lock you in a room until you couldn”t WALK!!! delvalle.anthony11@yahoo.com
WTF?
Someone cap this guy’s response, it goes right on the front page!
… and she would thank you for the upgrade.

Look at the font style and type of paint and you will see it on your own.
Do you think “Jennifer” actually saw it and realized she was “the one”…?
I wonder if someone just looked up the most popular female name in that area so girls would freak out for no reason. Hah!
Can gratuitous cruelty equal hilarious? I say yes!
I don’t think this is crazy, just hilarious.
I’m sticking with those claiming “publicity stunt” as there’s be several of these pop up in several countries. They all say pretty much the same thing and none of the news agencies covering them have been able to identify either party in each instance.
So, not crazy, just a lame idea to market something, which we’ll likely find out about after they’re done winding everyone up.
I know an Australian Jennifer that deserves this.
It may have been real at one time, but this has become a meme over the years. It’s been done at least half a dozen times.
Maybe a prankster rearranged the signs.
FAKE.
what happened to the “6 days to move out” sign? it’s not up there anymore….
You guys are all assuming that the breakup part is real. If you notice, the first two are written on large sheets of paper, and the second 2 on cardboard. It’s entirely possible, and even more plausible that some guy proposed to his girlfriend with the first two signs, and then somebody came along and posted the second two signs to be funny.
There were probably hundreds of Jennifers, Jens, Jenns, Jennys, and Jennas that saw these signs and were frantically calling their boyfriends.
Firstly, these signs definitely were posted on Bilgola Bends, Northern Beaches, NSW, Australia cos I was there and I saw it along with half the population of Avalon, Whale Beach and Palmy around 6am in the morning of 29 August 2009.
Secondly, these three suburbs are the only ones past the bends to the end of Barrenjoey Penninsular so there can’t have been too many Jennifers to get confused. The signs were meant for people in these suburbs to see as they were on the left hand side of the road going from Avalon to Sydney.
Thirdly, no one mentions the following two sets of signs. On 30 August we had “Make that 4 days!” and on 1 September we had “Jennifer… Don’t worry, I will be your rebound… Call Dom (Tit) on xxx [mobile number]“.
What I want to know is, did anyone ring the number? Stupidly I didn’t, but had I known it would turn into such an international mystery I would have done.

Everyone screaming “Wellington NZ,” are out of their minds. Theres thousands of articles with the exact same pictures all talking about it being in Australia.. some of which even include pictures the guys holding the signs.
LOL…I HAVE to do this to my wife now
JK…But I do have some exes who deserve it….
Wow.
….
…… the cherry on the crazy (psycho) cake for me here is that it looks like he posted this cruel, presumably shocking message (intended to make her emotions turbulent) on a highway, on a CURVE, going onto an OVERPASS or bridge.
I think you could actually make a case for attempted murder.
