Ordinarily, there wouldn’t be anything odd about this sign. But look at the placement.
Why do they need a No Parking sign in the middle of the lawn? It’s a new sign, too—they just redid the entire lawn last year.
Seriously, I don’t think they’re going to have much of a problem with people parking on the lawn in front of an office building in Irvine.
Come to think of it, though, this is only 50 feet or so from the crosswalk warning device.
Saw this truck on the road a while back, a possible case of branding gone awry:
The problem is, when I see the words, “blue ice,” I don’t think of glaciers, I think of this:
And I seriously don’t want to drink the contents of a re-freezable block for portable coolers.
Ah, well, Google disagrees with me, returning the vodka as #1. (For the record, it’s hard to go wrong with Grey Goose.)
Two views of Katie’s mousepad:
I don’t think that second view is quite what they had in mind…
In honor of the Heroes DVD release, here’s a truck that’s almost, but not quite labeled for Primatech Paper:
Interestingly, it’s been a month for timing pop culture releases with relevant astronomical events. First Stardust, all about catching a falling star, arrived in theaters the same weekend as the Perseids meteor shower. Today, the Heroes Season 1 DVD arrives on the same day as a total eclipse (albeit a lunar one, rather than solar).
This touring bus has an advertisement for the company’s website, but the placement of the handle for the cargo doors is… unfortunate, as it obscures the top of the “o” in “.com”—changing it into an entirely different word.
And weren’t those who dedicated themselves to the service of Vesta called Vestal virgins? I’m just sayin’…
(Once again, I’m afraid to see what search terms are going to bring people here…)
Bumper sticker spotted on a Corner Bakery delivery van:
It reminds me of the warnings you see on cardboard coffee cups that say things like, “The beverage you are about to enjoy is extremely hot.” Though my favorite is still one from the late, lamented* Diedrich Coffee that said, “Of course it’s hot!”
*OK, they’re not completely gone—there are still two stores left in Orange County since Starbucks bought them out and either closed or converted the rest. *grumble*
