As James Lileks would say, "This is wrong in so many ways."
I'm unable to narrow down just one problem.

Unless that person (supposed to be Martin Luther?  ~doesn't have the right hat/head/clothing/book. supposed to be MLK? ~doesn't look like him either) is totally missing his feet and suffering from suspended animation and levitation.

I have since found out that this sign is definitely not a hoax.  It was in the window of the public library of Schertz, Texas.  What is really sad is that it was up for about a week before the holiday and no one seemed to notice that anything was wrong.

Real Live Preacher has posted this open letter to the good people of Schertz, Texas:

Hi there,

I know your town is mostly white people and all, but I think that's all the more reason you should make a special effort to get this sort of thing right.

There's Martin Luther King Jr., noted civil rights leader, advocate of civil disobedience by non-violent resistance, and author of famous speeches and sermons. His skin was dark. He wore suits and ties. He was killed in Memphis Tennessee in 1968. He's the one you see in numerous photographs and film clips.

And there's Martin Luther, the 16th century reformer and the inspiration behind Lutheranism, whose 95 theses tacked to the door of the church in Wittenberg sparked the Protestant Reformation. His skin was light in color, much like your own. He wore robes. No pictures or video available.

There now, that wasn't so hard.

See you next January!

OK, Mr. Bourgeois, this is entirely OT, but right now for some reason your profile pic isn't showing and there is a square on the screen instead displaying the text, "Visit lesbo Xanga site!"

I'm just saying.

Maybe it's a pic of MLK, Jr.'s father ( though the suffix inaccuracy would still be an issue).

That looks kind of like a big ol' flat foot on the right to me.  Maybe not.  Maybe it's just the fold of his robe.  Maybe the robe is so long it covers his feet.  Maybe it was a windy day and the hat blew off.

What was the deal with the Reformers and all those funny hats?
