?!?!? At Dirty, No Means No (At Least, According to the Sign)

While it's easy to take swipes at Dirty for being Portland's very own Jersey Shore bar, I was intrigued by the sheer amount of signage currently on display in their front window. Especially the numerous "No Means No" signs.

While we all know what that term means—thanks to this video—is that sign referring to behavior inside the bar? Isn't it sort of like putting a "No Roofies" sign outside your establishment? Or given the massive bouncers that linger at front of the club, does the sign mean no questioning their authority? Any Dirty patrons want to fill me in?

Hmm. So "Dresscode" is one word, "Door Mans" is two (with no apostrophe), and "Ileagal" makes sense. Seems like the proprietors have the same level of intelligence as their patrons.

Where is this place? They get big points for the awesome MySpace page. Very 2004 guys, very 2004.

This looks like a classy establishment.

At my trashy bar, there would be a sign that says "Language is a constantly evolving social construction. Also, no date rape"

@atomic: The lack of date raping at your bar will be a boon to women everywhere.

@atomic: I may not be current on the latest fads in date rape, but I don't think you do it in the bar, (there are too many people there,) regardless of the sign. I think you do it at her or your house, or in the car, or some place like that...
