The real news

The story, straight

A pothole is a break in the road surface that can damage tires and suspension. On Calle Morelos in Navojoa, Sonora, Mexico, residents gave that warning a wardrobe.

They placed jeans and shoes upside down in a hole, making it look like someone had plunged headfirst into the asphalt. It was a staged protest, not an injured person.

The clothes warned drivers, cyclists and pedestrians about the hazard while drawing attention to deteriorating streets.

The road has apparently reached the getting-dressed stage of development. Actual roadworthiness remains a separate department.

La Jornada reported on 7 November that the city announced hiring 70 additional pothole workers, divided into 10 teams. That is a staffing announcement, not confirmation that this hole was repaired.

The report does not establish that the stunt caused the announcement.

The useful takeaway: a memorable warning can make a hazard visible, but attention and repairs are different things. Watch for asphalt, not just announcements.

The jeans have already done enough unpaid work.
