  1. Gene says:

    heh :)
    Looks like someone else is as amused at the Valley Fair food court as I am.

  2. Anonymous says:

    theres a plexiglass thingy you can see that would wind up amputating you if you flailed your arm around, which explains the sign. Could use some better design though

  3. Phoenix says:

    These signs are ubiquitous in Japan.

  4. Anonymous says:

    These plexiglass signs were made so you hit your head and duck out before you get stuck in the tight corner between the ceiling and escalator and get seriously injured

  5. anon says:

    LOL GBELT

  6. xik says:

    yeah, was thinking of gbelt too.

  7. frostey says:

    Oh boy. I wonder why they put that sign there?

  8. Benny says:

    it looks like Greenbelt 3 to me too. If not, Ayala Alabang Town Centre! Never noticed this sign there, must take another look and try not to FAIL! :D

  9. Anonymous says:

    LOL!!!

  10. Anonymous says:

    welcome to the philippines!!

  11. Anonymous says:

    Use your spider-sense to avoid hanging traps

  12. Webbiefreak says:

    It kinda looks like a photoshop. Notice the lack of shadows around the sign? Weird.

  13. frqt says:

    tim Allen could have used one of those for home improvment.

  14. Aaron says:

    Its hard to tell, but it could just look like that the sign is right above the escalator and it could actually be out of the way.

  15. Neb says:

    I may be wrong but I think the fail is that w/o the sign being there, there would be no need for warning.

  16. killglitch says:

    Yeah, it’s shopped; You can tell by how the edges of the sign are so sharp, and how the lighting in the room is different from that of the sign (although whoever made this did a good job of matching it up).

    Also, there is nothing apparently holding up the decorative metal bracing that holds the chain that is linked to the sign; unless there is somekind of thin metal wire or a plexiglass type of thing (although it would probably have a reflection).

    • weeee says:

      Uhh… It’s not photoshopped. I’ve seen it. Also, the sign is hanging off of a metal bar that it attached to the sign via chains. Stop trying to sound smart by saying everything is photoshopped!

  17. It’s a sign telling people to watch out for the sign thats telling people to watch out for the sign thats telling people to watch out for the sing…………..ect. wow

    • crazy_coco50 says:

      You know what would be even funnier? If the little sign within the sign, had a tinier version of the big sign in it.

  18. FAIL!!! says:

    SIGN = FAIL

  19. Pat Whitaker says:

    Superb. I wish I’d taken a picture of it at the time, but I was in a shop buying some microwave food. FOR SELL BY DATE SEE UNDERSIDE. So I turn it over. DO NOT TURN OVER (written on the bottom)

  20. Devaith says:

    Won’t looking at the sign be the distraction that makes you hit your head on the
    whatever the hell that is.

  21. mike says:

    omg i wounder what they where thinking when they put that there

  22. blarg says:

    Well, i think that they are traveling on an escalator and going up, and the sign is for them, but still, fail, should have thought of a more creative way. i mean who is going to look to the side to see a warning about something that is ahead of them.

  23. Leah says:

    lols! g-belt! :D

  24. bd says:

    that doesn’t seem helpful…i mean shouldn’t it be facing towards the people going on the escalator?

    double fail

  25. Nol says:

    just great

  26. MissSharon says:

    Which do you think came first… the chicken or the egg?

  27. YESUI says:

    Sign: WARNING! Don’t hit me! >:C

    XDD

  28. solo piano says:

    that can’t possibly be a real photo

  29. if not blind they can put bump’s on the step’s you can trip on

  30. Redezem says:

    hmmm, an infinitely recursive fail? WIN!

  31. failblog is gay says:

    you are all gay, get a life

  32. luiboowee says:

    It’s a sign to prevent people using the escalator to stick out their head because there’s of the beam ahead. It’s more of a safety precaution.

  33. luiboowee says:

    actually there are similar “tools” installed near most of the Ayala Center malls’ escalators (those going up). Since most of the escalators are installed near a ceiling. some are cylindrical plastic tubes hanging near the ceiling. more like a clearance beam.

  34. well, sometimes the builders don’t get it right…

  35. anonamousismagasm says:

    Correct me if im wrong but it appears this photo is taken at a side view, which means people going up/down whatever way it is actualy cant see what it says unless they’re in the other escalator aisle or right next to it which would kinda make its warning useless.

  36. žogi says:

    Best sign ever!

  37. happycat1 says:

    this sign is here telling you to beware of the sign that is here telling you to beware of the sign that is here telling you to beware of the sign that is here telling you to beware of the sign that is here telling you to beware of the sign that is here telling you……………………
