huffpo's best protest signs of 2009

As we prepare to close out one of the worst decades in recent history, Huffpo was kind enough to organize a slideshow of the funniest protest signs of the year.

Some of them are people making fun of the protests going on around them, and some of them are "legitimate" signs whose creators got a few things wrong (spelling, grammar, a lack of irony).

Some of them are surrealist. Some juvenile. All funny in their own way.

If you need a laugh while counting the tears, have a gander.
