Dallas mayoral candidate David Kunkle’s campaign signs seem to opening a few eyes.
Maybe you’ve seen the 4-foot-by-4-foot signs reading “Kunkle For Mayor.” Maybe you’ve seen the ones with what appear to be eyeholes cut into, or out of, them.
A symbol of the former police chief’s omnipresent watch over the city? A prankster vandalizing the signs? Nah, just a measure to prevent wind damage to the campaign signs.
According to a report over at Pegasus News — where you can see a photo of one of the signs — a campaign volunteer, um, volunteered his services to cut a little wind-relief into the signs, which are made from corrugated plastic and would snap off in a good gust.
Seems rather pragmatic if a little stylized. He could just cut regular holes in the signs, right? Maybe there’s some kind of aerodynamic reason for the eye-shape.

All in all, not exactly a big deal in big-city politics. Then again, the signs did generate some extra publicity, so score.
