Of course there’s nothing funny
about electronic signage in itself. In fact, LED signs have been a big help to
various establishments. You go to the nearest restaurant, for example, and you
see a outdoor tri-color LED sign to attract customers. They also help government agencies in imparting
valuable information, among many things.
But let’s get past all the
benefits for now. I decided to write about this topic after seeing a funny LED
sign on my way to the mall. Unlike most of the ones on this list, it wasn’t a
product of hacking but just the same it cracked me up. After all, hacking is
never a good practice. So until the cops collar them hackers, we have these to
enjoy:
“Rogue panda on rampage”
You know what this means? The
Chinese are coming!
Well like they haven’t arrived
yet. Hey, no offense meant here. I got a lot of Chinese friends. I would hate
to offend Mr. Wang at a downtown supermarket who sells good quality secondhand
umbrellas.
“OMG the British are coming”
Depends on how you look at things,
this could be better than the first one.
Or not.
“Prepare to be annoyed”
This is actually some decent
warning. At least you have the opportunity to prepare yourself for the BS
ahead. You’d have the hacker to thank if your driver has been undergoing anger
management.
“You’ll never get to work on time haha!”
This is funnier than the
electronic sign above as it takes the cake on open mockery. Good job on being
specific. No sorry, this is bad.
“Pool table rules…”
The owner of the table must be
bisexual. I mean he/she didn’t bother putting in his/her preference… not that
there’s anything wrong with it.
“Black Angus Steakhouse”
There really is nothing wrong
with this…until you realize how it will read if the LED bulbs used for the third
letter of the second word are defective.
So there you go. I’m sure there
are a lot more crazy signs out there. You may want to add to this list if you
see something on the road. Don’t limit yourself to digital signage. If it’s
funny, put it in here!
