Cheezburger Network Blog
Sure they’re ready?
They reeeeeeally like their merchandise.
At least they are being honest…
I bought a camera for my wife this year. Paid $229. a week later it was on sale for $199, but the ad said “Save $50″. But the regular price was only $30 more.
They raise the regular price to make the sale look better than it is. Its all a big scam. I went back and they refunded me the difference so that was good, but still annoying.
This got me annoyed, Had to just blog a rant about “sale prices” at http://www.scottblogs.com/retail-stores-and-sale-prices/

At least they are not asking more!
wont ask for more when he know whats in store
How can he be sure that he knows what’s in store?
theres a dark, thin winding stairway without any banister …
With sinister sale musak?
yeah, olivertheplace
I’d rather buy just the double-priced items, but only if they’re at half price.
*I mean, only if they’re half off.
Half off of what?
ouvius FAIL!
All double-priced items at my store are half price today!
There’s a secret message here
Where?!
maybe that every second E is red?
THE DA VINCI CODE
it all makes sense now…
EEE!
“every second e” ?
I think he meant every “e” is red.
He means that every other “E” is red, since the first, third, and fifth “E”s are red, but the other two are not.
well the first E is red, the second is black the third is red again and so on…
In German you can say it that way I thought that it might work in English, too. Is that engrish, then?
You are correct. Every other E makes perfect sense. That guy is just an idiot.
Now I’m confused. What is correct ? Every other or every second ? Or both ? I know in Dutch there are also several ways to say it.
In German its always “every second”, it doesn’t matter if its first and third or second and fourth. But in English this term is obviously called “every other”, which I didn’t know. But now I don’t think that I’ll ever forget that.
I never thought about the phrase, its just stomething we say (in English) for the pattern ABABABA where two things alternate. We would describe this pattern as “every other letter is A.” Now that you mention it, “every second” is a phrase that makes sense, but it isn’t a phrase we are familiar with.
Either will work, but “every other” is the more common way of saying it.
Take the red letters, they spell out EEE!
No secret message, just good ol’ subliminal advertising.
I think the message is stupid people can shop here…
You’re on to something. This is a cryptic FAIL.
F is the 6th letter of the alphabet. A=1, I=9, and L=12.
6+1+9+12=28
E is the 5th letter of the alphabet. 28-5=23
W is the 23rd letter of the alphabet.
So, this translates to WWW. Obviously, this was staged to go on the internet to failblog, and we were meant to comment on it.
So they really are Illuminati. And the yellow sign is the Pyramid.
Maybe illiterati are the people who shop here
THIRD!
I guess someone wanted to be smart there. Just printing the words “on sale” will definitely bring more customers. They just should have been more prominent than “regular price”. So its also a marketing fail.
True, people can be very stupid.
My best friend is one of those silly people who will buy something because it is on sale or she has a coupon.
So, she’s 70?
They accidenty ‘thing’.
‘…night…’.
?
I see, every “night” (not thing) they sell their stuff at regular price. So its actually an advertisement that they open 24/7?
Nearly.
*Explains: It’s a set-up for a word-play on brothels. Next line could be something like…I’ve heard the merchandise is hardwaring…*
My apols if I’ve missed something in your comment
“Hardware” is just their term for brothel. It’s letting their patrons know that the ladies are not going to give out an economic hardship discount.
In other words, that they have weekly rapes.
They probably will get more traffic too. Sale hunters…
It beats the “double the price and then have a half off sale” any day….
I don’t think this is a fail. most likely just someone trying to be funny…
It’s not a fail or silly. Obviously, the store owner is just trying to point out that, unlike stores where the items are not for sale, Girard’s hardware is a place where you can buy things.
Including the fire extinguishers.
One wonders how someone is able to get the board up without getting entangled in the wires. It is a win actually ! Unless the corpse is somewhere off screen.
Regular price is way better than super overinflated price, maybe there is a sale.
Everything on FAIL at regular price.
Meh…its not that great. Fail on the fail.
I am off to go get drunk to help cope with the office party.
Merry Christmas y’all!
*swipe wine from DrB*
Neeheeheeheeheehee.
*SQUEEZE*
Have a great time, Mikey! *squeeze*
Drink one for me!!! *squeeze*
I plan on getting drunk and making a cake tonight. It will be interesting to see how it will look in the morning!!
Well, at the least you will see two of the concoctions.
Have fun, Mikey! Drink waaaay too much!
*SQUEEZE*
Hi Mikey!
Enjoy the office party, drink and staple some funny signs around,
…and squeeze as many as you can. AND reveal your secret identity.
Hold on a sec, Mikey, I made something for you.
*Places hat made of mistletoe onto the moomin’s head.*
A drunken office party isn’t complete without one.
Squeezey smooches!
Have fun, Mikey!
*squeeeeeeeeeze!*
Hey! I know where that is! I ate lunch yesterday at that Arby’s across the street!
I invented that Arby’s.
I can see it from my front porch.
I can see your front porch from it.
I see your front porch and raise you one veranda.
Wow, this corner is down the street from my house! We have lunch sometime! =]
I was thinking “Hey, that street sign looks like Louisville’s street signs. Wait, that IS Louisville!”
If you look it up on google maps, you can actually see this sign.
If everything is on sale at the regular price, then that must include me. But my ex-wife says “I’m nothing”. Great, now I’m caught in a paradox of self… Is nothing part of everything? Or is nothing devoid of anything including everything that is on sale at the regular price? damn it anyway….
*sees papajon disappear in a puff of logic*
If the prices of everything consist of a either a discreet or continuous set from zero to infinity, then yes, nothing is an accepted value of the set.
* papajon magically reappears with the help of math *
quite the conundrum you have there Papajon..
Umm guys they mean sale as literally ‘for sale’. Besides they said for sale not on sale. But come to think of it it is odd that they are advertising regular price… but in some places the norm is to barter,
So…”o n” spells “for”?
Whodathunkit?
Yes, on is the new for and off is the new on so. . .
as on me cloths are not off!
hmm… same chain as the shop with the “All Double Priced items 1/2 off” sign?
*looks thoughtful*
okkkk…?
haha when was this taken? if it was recently, id like to take my mom to see!
That sign has been up for quite a while. Months, in fact…
I think what they meant and should’ve said was “everything regular price now on sale.” Sentence structure fail.
says the guy who ruined the joke…
Aha no #81
merry christmas
