You might need to click to see the bigger picture, but it's a giant billboard for the Universidad de Moron, with an accent over the second "o". Of course, I think, ha-ha-ha, university of moron. Very funny, I've got to enroll there.
But I guess the second joke, speaking of morons, was on me. Because my next thought was, hey, doesn't "moron" (with accent) mean "brown"? Like, the color. So, what, University of Brown? That's even weirder than University of Moron. But, like I said, speaking of morons, moron is not brown -- maron is brown. Moron with an accent is just a name, it's not a spanish word.
Moron, without an accent, well, my spanish dictionary says it's an "idiota". So I wasn't so far off.

Hey, Dan:
"Marrón" is "brown", not "maron".
oooh, thanks for the correction. I thought it only had one "r". I knew it had an accent, but I haven't figured out how to enter an accent on blogger! (what a slacker!)
The acronym "UM" is pretty funny too.
How many times do you hear people saying "um" when speaking in public?
"Um, gee. What would be a good school for me!"
Hi! Morón is a spanish word which means a little mountain, like a "Hill", the city of morón gets her name because it`s over a hill. I´m from argentina, i live in Morón,
