It Came From the Internet

This is an old one, so apologies if everyone's seen it already:

Plenty of these I hadn't seen before, so thanks for sharing.

I was staying on a campsite in Spain with my girlfriend many years ago, and she said there was a sign in the women's toilets which said:

"Ladies, please do not flush your periodicals down the toilet."

[Rebecca]

Some of those are great. Some I'm not convinced were errors. . .

You don't know what a single issue of Vanity Fair can do to your plumbing... ;o)

[Guy]

Thanks, I hadn't seen any of them before. Some were very amusing!

[Lisa]

Thanks so much for posting. Makes me realize what I'm missing. Who knew you could stay someplace where they flatten your undies with pleasure? Not that I've had it done with displeasure or anything.

Further clarification (if you are not Canadian, you may not understand).


Timbit (it's a tiny donut, from Tim Hortons the coffee shop) -

Polkaroo -

[Rebecca]

Well, just looking at the polkaroo dude is enough to make me keel over!

[Melki]

So, Polkaroo is sort of like a Canadian Barney?

[Margaret]

Certainly not. Barney is like an American Polkaroo.

Glad I don't have a dog!

Why, oh, why isn't this on Youtube?

[Lisa]

I'm glad there is no YouTube for it. It would be hard to top the visual in my mind.

[Melki]

EPIC FAIL



...unless that's the message they MEANT to send...

[Rob]

Probably one of those free gifts that pharmaceutical companies give to doctors.

PLASTIC PENNIES - A Bargain at ANY price, apparently:

[Rebecca]

That's funny! Use plastic money for kids to play with. . . Or let them have real pennies, which are cheaper.

[Melki]

When I was a kid, I had a toy cash register that came with all sorts of phony money, but these days I'm amazed they're not considered choking hazards.

[Lisa]

Geesh, do you have to get a bank loan to buy a hundred dollar bills?

Read the package, Melki!

[Melki]

I see now that they ARE labeled a choking hazard. What amazes me is that they are still ALLOWED to SELL choking hazards. I thought by now they'd taken all the cool-yet-dangerous toys away, like lawn darts.

Driving my son to school today, we were admiring the huge, dirty mountains of snow in the parking lot. I remember when I was a kid, we were permitted to play on those mounds at recess. I imagine today, the school would be sued if they let the kids anywhere near those things...

Unfortunate publishing layouts of our time:

NB: Some people may find a few of these in rather dubious taste, so please don't click if you're easily offended.

[Melki]

Hilarious! Your warning is probably not necessary for anyone in THIS group.

[Rob]

I know, but I thought I should hedge my bets.

I can hardly believe that some of these got through the final edit stage - particularly the magazine covers.

Yeah. I kept wondering "doesn't anyone LOOK at these things??"

[John]

Thanks, Rob. There are some absolute classics in there!

Very amusing! Some of them are pretty disturbing.

[Rob]

Here's a similar one. Misplaced advertisements this time:

Once again, I feel I ought to point out that: Some people may find a few of these in rather dubious taste, so please don't click if you're easily offended.

[John]

Thanks, Rob. More good stuff! I particularly like the Got A Giant Thirst?

Always glad to share anything that might raise a chuckle, Guy.

John, I think my favourites were the Coca Cola and Nestle ones, and the Burger King one for a bit of social comment.

[Rodney]

For those of you like me, who put the ingredients of your sandwich together in a particular order, and make sure the bread aligns completely, I give you fair warning not to go to this site.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

[Melki]

Oh, yeah! As someone who's forever straightening pictures, I can relate.

ROFL! I'm a slob, but I do like things to align!

If you're still looking for that perfect gift for your mother-in-law, The Stinky Candle Co. may have the answer. With scents ranging from Body Odor to Vile Bile, you're sure to find just the right aroma for her. I'm wondering what Spawn of the Devil smells like...

http://stinkycandlecompany.com/

[John]

Awesome! I'm not sure what kind of effect lighting a Body Odor scented candle in a house that smells like body odor will have, but I'll be looking forward to mom's review. Thanks for link, Melki!

[Mathew]

I'd get skunk smell if they had it. I kinda like that smell.

I used to live in the woods, and the skunks were always about. As long as they didn't actually spray anything too close by, their smell was just another organic odor and didn't bother me. Still doesn't. I guess that's why I could have such fun with skunks in my books :)

[Lisa]

I didn't know anybody or anything liked skunk. But maybe that explains my old dog. He was sprayed in the face twice by skunks.

Naw. He was probably just stupid :D

What a great idea for a gift. Decaying Carcass would be my preference.

[Joel]

I believe that's called "Detroit".

[Rebecca]

Let's see if I can connect this. . .

Accurate, to the point and quite yummy-looking...though I'd add whipped cream.

[Rodney]

Product reviews you will laugh about.

The unbelievably corrupt United States Supreme Court just opened a big fat can of worms with its ruling that corporations may hold religious beliefs, leaving businesses free to discriminate against women and anyone who doesn't agree with them. It's horrifying to think of the future consequences of this bad, bad decision, but I'm betting it won't be long until we see THIS headline:
