   looks somewhat like Klingon, But it’s the characters are too fragmented to be that

   I was going to say that…

   indeed it is a fictinal writing sistem, and I guess in Romulan, which really looks like with klingon.

   That is the Irken font from the cartoon series ‘Invader Zim’ by Johnen Vasquez. Within the show it’s used by Zim and the other Irken alien invaders, but here it’s English.

   I’m fairly sure it says, “Give us the number of votes cast for Willy, Zim’s competitor for skool student president!” Is it maybe taken from the Irken subtitles on the DVD?

   Mike - I think you’re right. It does match the Irken alphabet. An Irken font is available here.
