Dig In (But Not Too Deeply)

So, I take a look at this picture and I'm not sure why it qualifies as a What The Foto.  That crazy opossum standing on his head while reading to a group of some sort of rodents?  No.  The huge expanse of asphalt as the playground?  No.  Then I'm told to focus on the background on the right side of the scene.  Let's zoom in on that, shall we:

 

Nothing screams "childhood fun" like playing 10 feet from a cemetery.  And it looks like anyone playing soccer would be constantly retrieving the ball from between headstones.  And that's what makes it a WTFoto.

I understand cute spellings for trade names, but if you are promoting a spell check product, perhaps you should spell 'check' properly.

Editor's Note: What I think is odd is the fact that they chose to "misspell" only two words, making it look much less intentional.  Of course there is the possibility that they want to look like idiots...

Stop! In The Name Of Shrimp!

I saw this sign on an exit door the other day when I was leaving the grocery store.  It's a bit demanding, in my opinion.  I don't recall shrimp even being on my shopping list.  Does this type of thing even work?  Now excuse me, I've got to get my ass back in there and get some shrimp.

When Irony Just Can't Wait

I saw this machine in a gas station Men's room while on road trip recently.  Click the picture to enbiggen.  Now, I know that these machines have been a staple in restrooms for a long time.  The reason it is on this website is the tag line that Protocol chose to use: "When Life Just Can't Wait..." Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the entire point of using condoms?  To make life wait??  And bonus points are awarded to the fact that the third product is not actually a prophylactic but, instead, maximum strength "Horny Goat Weed".

Cover Your Butt, Put Out Your Butt and Don't Shoot Anyone In The Butt

Field correspondent Shu has graced us with another submission.

This is signage at the entrance to a gun shop in rural North Carolina. In a place of business where management needs to tell customers to pull their pants up and not to shoot guns inside, you would think that someone lighting up a cigarette would be the least of their worries. Second Amendment is alive and well here, provided you put your pants on and your cigarette out before entering.

Editors Note:  You know, bullets and cigarettes are equally deadly, it's just a matter of the timeline.  And what in the hell does "Show me some of that country money" mean?

NEWSFLASH: Massaging Gums Increases IQ

Field correspondent Bolo sent this my way.

 

This week I was on a Science Camp trip as a chaperone and was amazed at what I learned from these kids. These kids are in an honors biology class and are some of the most intelligent kids in the school. I have often wondered why the Asian students always perform so well at academics. I have thought it might be genetics, or a result of a fish heavy diet as it has always been known that fish is brain food.

 

Imagine my surprise when I walked into the bathhouse and found that one of the Asian students had brought this from home. I would never have thought this was the secret! 

CAUTION!

I saw this in the parking lot of a large electronics retailer the other day.  Please feel free to click the picture for enbiggened goodness.  While I am certain a random concrete block in a parking lot is a hazard, one has to wonder how much more time it took to wrap the caution tape around it than to simply move it to another location.  I guess they have at least limited their liability exposure...

12-Year-Old Boys Shouldn't Work Retail

This isn't exactly timely but I saw this a couple months back (duh..).  Click the pic to enbiggen.

I really don't know which is worse, the fact that this sign was actually printed and posted or how much I giggled when I saw it.  I guess that proves one thing: some of us will never fall victim of maturity.

The Ehhh...Team

"In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as independent contractors... If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the Ehhh...Team."

Editors Note:  I wonder if there is a large, extremely angry white guy in there who wears lots of jewelry and is afraid of flying.  I certainly hope so.

When You Can't Even Convince The Cartoon Mascot...

I hate it when life makes you do things and stuff.  Anyway, hopefully I'll be back for a while.

 

This is a sign I saw recently when I had lunch at a international Scottish restaurant chain. I believe they are trying to encourage kids to eat more healthily, like drinking milk instead of soda.  However that's not what's happening in this scene.  The child is giving his milk to a goat.  This is exactly what happens in every household that serves liver: it gets slipped under the table to whatever pet is hiding under there.  So this doesn't really encourage children to make better diet choices as it shows them how to avoid eating them.  Ahh, America.
