When I first saw this I mistakenly thought the plastic around the sign was just packaging, but then realised that the "packaging" actually WAS the sign.
It seemed a bit tacky, so I bought it so we could take a closer look at the construction.
On one hand it does seem a bit tacky, but on the other hand it makes it very easy to assemble the sign with pre-cut lengths of LED linear strip (The LED tape fires sideways into a diffuser and reflective channel to give a smooth linear glow on the front).
It also holds the linear strip absolutely rock-solid when it's pressed in and allows graphics and mounting holes to be added to the plastic.

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
