Good Deal Beware (Guest Posting: Charles Gilbert!)

Let's see:
Three suits...nice.
Three shirts...okay.  
Three ties...now we're talking.  
Three shoes...ummm...wait a minute...What am I supposed to do with three shoes!?! 
Looks like I'll be sticking to Men's Warehouse.

Accentuate the Negative

I always say, if you're going to spell just one word wrong, make sure to highlight the error in all caps. Bonus points if that word is supposed to inspire our confidence in your abilities.

"He-Man" (Guest Posting: Charles Gilbert and Erica Johnson!)


It's nice and all, but $6.99 seems a bit steep. It sure would be a "Christmas to Remember" though.  

Dad (to mom): Remember that time your son got me that me that random faded tee-shirt ornament?"
Mom: He's your son too!
Dad: Not after that. A tee-shirt ornament? I mean, really. There had to have been a better alternative. Like a lump of coal or a "World's Best Dad" mug.

Don't Block the Box

Back into investigative reporting mode, our team uncovered a difficult to spot bit of signage:
We dug deeper to uncover this:
We tried checking underneath the shelf:
Unsatisfied, we tossed the bottles aside.
Aha! It all made sense. But the clear message was being rudely ignored by a pile of sweaters. 
Unable to stand by idly in the face of injustice, our reporter asked an employee of the unnamed-for-legal-reasons establishment: "Why?" "Why would anyone treat a member of the electorate, or at least electricate, with such disdain?" 
The answer was simple: "The outlet doesn't work."

Hi-Speed Pictionary


Texting while driving: Not cool. Sketching while driving: Awesome.

FWIW: The lower sign would make a great graphic tee.

Buy-Sexual: Guest Signage Thursday (Jessica Cornish)

For those who like some variety in the bedroom or simply can't make up their minds .

But even without the sexual element, this is still some bad signage.

It's definitely not a case of "you get what you pay for." I don't care what kind of discount you're offering, if I buy a pair of jeans, I don't want a blazer.

The store needs to offer a translation system:

Want a pair of shoes? Buy a hat.
Need socks? Buy some gloves.
