And the article says the sign is at a place called Lawyers Head, which presumably is named such because from a distance it looks like the shape of ...
I was expecting a mushroom apparition.
Insanity is an interesting phenomenon. People cling to these irrational ideas in the same way that they believe the events of their lifetimes - and specifically current events - are greater and more impactful than anything else that ever occurred in the history of human civilization.
Should send that guy up to Barrow Alaska on a clear day.
They say you can see the curvature of the earth on the horizon.
I think you can see it on the horizon out at sea, especially on a cruise ship or an aircraft carrier where you're high off the water.
I'd like them to explain why I can only see 3 miles while standing on the beach looking out towards open sea, yet much further while looking up the coast.

They are too smart to fall for your Illuminati optical illusions

As a critical reviewer I'd like to point out:
Contrasting bright colors. Nice use of white space - generally balanced and not crowded. Decent hand lettering (the "t" could use a better cross bar - it just about reads "you lube" - which is probably another video hosting site but with entirely different content). Looks like they took the time to use guide lines for the lettering. Ship is consistently drawn on both illustrations (and I must say that I'd feel safer in the ship on the top illustration). The post looks appropriately sized for a temporary sign. The sign is placed above the vegetation. It's placed in a location that illustrates the point. The location looks pleasant enough where a person would be comfortable taking the time to read the sign. Looks like the sign is fixed to the post using washers - well done. The top red line is a little uneven but it does cover the full width. Not sure how it will do in the rain and the wind. I think the idea that someone would "Do Research!!" is asking a bit much - I don't think we need to go to the trouble - the facts are right here on the sign. All in all - I'd say the person that did this knows what they're doing and by today's standards for vetting the news: that's probably all the proof you need to assert that the content is valid.
The earth is flat!
Carry on.
Scary. I was just looking at the illustrations with a different view. In the illustration that validates his point the ship is centered, the line between the horizon and sky is clean and well defined matching neatly with the frame.
The second illustration, at odds with his/her argument, the ship is off center, the brush strokes of the ocean aren't as deep blue and uniform. More chaotic ,maybe by design, or they have a problem illustrating a curve.
No one would take the time to read a placard that starts off with 'gravity equipotential'
I concluded long ago that I am not the dumbsh*t whisperer.

Hell - Put him on a U2 or something. Did he ever see a space station photo?
At least he got the "not a spinning ball" part right. It's a spinning oblate spheroid. Duh!
