  1. jimmy says:

    okijhhkjh

  2. loufail says:

    This is what it happens when too much Daylight Saving occurs: you need to buy special tans at double the price because all the sun is owned by governments.

  3. bongo says:

    what a bargain!

  4. yannicus says:

    I always tan with sand anyway, so not interested.

  5. Fabulous says:

    smart, they invest money for the second tan and make even a plus on that… now that’s new economy!

  6. Adoni says:

    This way, you only pay shipping and handling once!

  7. bollocks says:

    holy shit where was this taken? It looks like right near my house.

  8. Justin says:

    Ninth! Yes! Clostest I’ve ever been to first!! ….agh, someday…

  9. Justin says:

    Well, technically it’s sixth, but whatever… >_>

    Pst, seventh!

  10. Justin says:

    OH MY GOODNESS!! One tan at double price, and the next one is free?! That’s better than the 0 for price of two deal!!

  11. sjbdtz says:

    This isn’t a fail, it’s someone with a good sense of humor, doing marketing.

  12. geger says:

    well lets say you paid for 2 of them, then the next 3 could be free!

    maybe you would keep SOME money…..

  13. Sand says:

    The sad part is that some people would actually buy that… and I know a few.

  14. Retro says:

    Did anyone stop to think that this one might be a deliberate joke?

    I’ve seen these types of billboards posted for humor before at various locations. “Buy one, get the second for full price. What a deal!” or “$12. Big special: buy two for $24″.

    Looks like the fail here is the person that submitted this one.

    • WeirdFish says:

      Which seems to be a common problem on these versions that don’t require any creativity.

    • Connie says:

      We have gotten more comments on this sign than anyone else…of course it was deliberate, b ut you wouldn’t believe how many people came into my salon and said that we made a mistake on the sigh..duhhhhhh!!!!!
      Where are all of the people with a sense of humour nowadays?

      • Burt Reynold's Moustache says:

        I think it’s just assumed that spray-on tanning products, when combined with bleach and acetone will make you a ditsy blond with no concept of simple humor… hence patrons not “getting it”.

      • Mouse says:

        Well, Connie, if it was your sign and your salon, it is quite a relief that you got more comments on it than anyone else. If the clerk at the nearest Rite Aid pharmacy had gotten the most comments, he would have been extremely confused.

    • don says:

      you hit it right on the head

  15. This is great because people who actually go and tan are stupid enough to think “wow, that’s a great deal”

  16. brent says:

    another fail fail. This one’s not a fail – it’s deliberate. It’s like the sign I used to see at a country bottle shop “FREE SLAB OF BEER WITH EVERY $32 BAG OF ICE!!”

  17. Abc says:

    English reading comprehension FAIL.
    It says “next ONES”, not “next ONE”. So: pay 2, and get 3 or 4 or 5 if you want. Even Michael Jackson could be black again, paying just double the price.

  18. Korin says:

    Truth in advertising!

  19. royallyfuked says:

    it’s a win for the business if someone actual takes them up on the offer.

    FAIL to the people who do. WIN for the business.

    • You've Got Fail says:

      It’s a big win for the business. It’s basically a filter that identifies people so gullible you’ll probably be able to sell them anything at any price you name.

  20. wuld says:

    great job, best sign i ever created look where it is now!

    • wise one says:

      You did good…that’s a fantastic sign!!!…too bad more people didn’t have the sense of humour to truly get it!!!

  21. mikey D says:

    This looks like every strip mall in Canada, it’s got a pizza pizza and a shoppers drug mart. Haha

  22. Mag says:

    Hey, that’s a small business owner who really knows his customer! ;-)

  23. Blåbär says:

    Hahaha they really figured that one out!

  24. Taylor says:

    Yay >< my picture made it to front page! :P

    I sign was change with in the week to something new lol

    This sign make me lawl everytime!

  25. wat says:

    I don’t get the fail.

  26. Henok says:

    looks like a fair deal to me :)

  27. lolbukkit says:

    The only thing “special” about that special is the people that fall for it! :O

  28. loey says:

    Must be in Texas. ’cause those stars at night sure are big and bright.

  29. ENG says:

    I don’t see the fail here. What’s the matter?

  30. khouri says:

    ….I don’t get it. Can someone explain….?

  31. khouri says:

    Oh, never mind, got it.

  32. wardrich says:

    What’s even more fail is how much they like to use apostrophes on their site to pluralize words, and yet they miss the apostrophe from the contraction “one’s”. PS: I live somewhere around there, I just can’t put my finger on the location. That’s not around Brock and Rossland is it?

  33. Hunter says:

    i dont work at these places anymore, so i dont care. Sears, Mervyns, Wal mart….

    they all do exactly the same thing. on the day of the special, we put the signs that say buy one get one free up, and then mark everything double the price. its sad…..makes me feel dirty….

  34. Airin says:

    That’s no fail! It’s just a brilliant marketing gimmick! Those patrons that choose that “special” are the big fat fail-ers!

  35. dukethepcdr says:

    Anyone who would waste money getting a fake tan might actually think that’s a great deal. After all, they did use the word “free”.

  36. boobs says:

    sup dawgs

  37. boobs says:

    like the name
