Background:
Several years ago, in college, in my first audio production course, a friend and I made a radio commercial for a fictional pyrotechnics manufacturer.

Tonight:
Passing a local Priscilla's store (sex toys, lingerie, etc.), reading the advertising sign in front:

[livejournal.com profile] indyansel: $199 love swing stand free with swing purchase. 'It's Death-Tech Products' 'Blow it out your ass' sale!' *slight pause* Oh, wait, that's not the right thing to say here, is it?
[livejournal.com profile] computerchix: *cracks up laughing*



I love reading ad signs with missing letters. From the sign in front of a Mike's Car Wash on our way home:

Keep the Bugs off
with Clear oat $2


One transparent oat?

The post directly below yours has to do with the IPU (Invisible Pink Unicorn) MHHNBS. I had another window open in front of my LJ window, so all I could see was the last line of your post. Naturally, I thought you were commenting on what the IPU eats, and I was going to remind you that the IPU (MHHNBS) only eats pizza, IIRC.

With that out of my system, I have the following two burnout signs, and one misspelled sign that I saw today, to share with you:

The local skinny-girls store by my parents' house was, for years, "Clothe me."

The Pharmacy/drugstore next to the apartment I shared with former roommate D was the "Dru Emporium."

Today I saw a sign advertising "Chily fries." Can I just say, "yech"? I hate cold fries.

Someone rearranged the letters on the sign at the church near my parents' house once - I don't know what it said first, but when they were done, it said "Hi fun fag!"

*I'd* pay $2 just to SEE that, let alone put it all over my car!

A school in Burton, Michigan, lost an 'E'. It was a "lementary" school.
