And they stapled it 0.0
That’s one of the deadly sins!
…yea
an its not even straight!
how you know its gay?
just because its pink does not make it gay
its white…
White, pink…stop the technicalities.
It’s not pink, it’s light red.
It isn’t a fail as much as just intentional irony though.
What’s wrong with hundreds of rusty and potentially dangerous nails/staples/etc on a utility pole? It will just teach kids how to make shivs.
Which is important for when the zombies come.
*loves a good zombie flick*
If you like zombies, then you’ll love the “Zombeatles”? Click my name to check them out. Pretty funny/weird stuff…
Uh, yeah, that was supposed to be an ironic question mark…looking back, I probably should have put it in parentheses and added an exclamation point or two…whatever.
i think he meant “straight” by it was not level with the ground.
(comments won’t nest below this level)
I don’t believe “straight” means “not level with the ground.”
The zombies are already here. Just saw the movie “Zombie Strippers” the other day. Trust me. They’re here.
Is it time for me to make use of my Zombie Survival Guide?
Do you have a zombie plan?
Not yet. Is is too late?
There are two kinds of people in the world.
Those who have a plan prepared for when zombies take over the Earth and those who don’t. We call those last people dinner.
genius!
Well, Friday should be interesting for me then!
The live in California and voted for Proposition 8.
Which is why I (as a California resident) always keep my machete sharpened.
Exactly. The point of the sign, it’s off angled placement, and just overall purpose is to show how annoying they are. This should be either off the site or on the site with WIN next to it.
its still white
*tastes*
Yup. Pink.
Gah! Lancelot is a zombie!?!
You’d be surprised by how many of us are. We’re just keeping quiet and waiting for Grak the Braineater’s signal that the uprising has begun.
yeah, i think this is right next to the elbow grease and headlight fluid
Straight means parallel to the ground
you know how i know youre gay? you listen to coldplay
It’s true. I bought their CD. =D lolsbianism.
“…yea
an its not even straight!”
Not that there’s anything wrong with that…
wow guys rly???? it says vote againt putting them on UTILITY posts. thats a tree. its not a fail at all.
I really wish I could make out the rest of it.
“Sure, it’s his free speech. But Seattle neighborhoods don’t like pole litter. Please vote for candidates who know and respect your values.”
Merci. I think I need a better monitor
…or eyesight
Or Image Zoom for Firefox
Actually, I was able to do that with my bare eyes.
I’m loving the phrase “pole litter”.
I’m just gonna focus on the utility pole bit.
I wonder if czuhc winced when they stapled this to him?
God, you don’t know how much I wanted to make that link…
Thank you
Hahaha. I thought if I didn’t that you would.
.
And………we’re back to mutilating penises.
It’s what we do best.
Us and Tom Sharpe.
When I started failblogging, I imagined becoming popular because of my sharp wit and analysis, not because of anatomical features.
Hmmm … the definition “target of ridicule” is missing from my dictionary’s listing under “popular”. Time for an update, I guess…
You “target of ridiculed” your “friendly banter”.
I did not take offence though, I thought it was funny.
That’s it. I’m sick of these guys trying to stop campaign signs. I’m going to start the group ‘Campaign against the Campaign against Campaign signs’..
I think you are going to start the group “How to get mental”.
Mark, his words.
Is it a “group” if it has more members than the rest of the population?
Just asking.
No one likes pole litter…
Strippers?
lmao
Win
Yes. Zombie Strippers.
But then how are candidates supposed to know how they’re doing on the poles?
You’re a pillar of the community. *pats POB on the shoulders*
I want to know how the candidates stand on this issue. Do any of them have a pole position?
*reminisces about pole positions…*
Are the candidates being polemic?
There was a recent column on that issue, I think.
Ionic or Doric?
One of the candidates got the short end of the stick, now he has a Napoleon complex.
He was described as an upstanding pillar of the community though.
There is only one good use for a pole. All candidates should be issued bustiers and platform shoes immediately.
The homophobes accidenty their spelling, mayhap?
.
Vote against camp gain signs.
If you pay close attention, its on a Tree, not a pole…. Not much of a fail.
Tree, pole, call it what you like, it sure hurts like hell.
(many thanks to B and Mikey)
‘Twas you used it to scare the milf…something had to be done with that thing.
‘Twas beauty killed the beast.
Nah, ’twas his beast that scared the beauty.
‘Twas brute that scarred the beaut?
‘Twas flute that scared the cute?
’twas hood that shared the loot?
Methinks Seattle is divided in two camps.
“Follow the tree!”
“No, follow the pole!”
More like “Build the monorail!” “No, we wanna screw up the traffic more!”
That’s not what the tree said.
It’s on a tree, not a utility pole. Still the same thing I know, but technically…
Technicalities can get you killed around here.
You can get clubbed for that, with a pole…or a tree.
Anyone ever look at a wooden utility pole up close?
*Goes clubbing.*
Rave on.
Try picking fruit from a utility pole
I tried. It was a fruitless endeavour.
yep…definitely a tree, not a pole
Irony comprehension fail for whoever submitted this.
My bad
The ironing is killing me
You aren’t supposed iron when the clothes are still on your body.
Especially if the phone is ringing.
because soon your ear will be.
FIRST!!
Unnecessary trolling fail.
Is there any other kind?
Another troll falls victim to dail-up internet!
…or rather dial-up!
Spelling Fail!
Nope, it’s a creosote-treated wooden telephone/utility pole – the irregularity on the right side is from a car or truck bumper striking it and taking some splinters out, not a branch, since the grain is still *vertical*. (plus there’s a rivet with a washer below the damage to keep the wood from splitting further).
Personally, I think this is “irony WIN” as well as “demonstrating what you’re protesting against WIN”! (‘don’t like seeing this, then vote YES on proposition ### to ban it in future’) ^_^
No, it’s a tree. Utility poles don’t still have the bark on.
I think you’re barking up the wrong tree.
Don’t worry, his bark is worse than his bite.
You don’t mind if I log this conversation for future reference do you?
No, as long as you don’t lumber off before we are finished talking.
I was hoping you wouldn’t twig I had a tendency to do that.
Just trying to keep everthing above board here.
You mave difficulty, I am as thick as two short planks.
*mave = may have, which illustrates my point nicely.
You made me lath!
You’ll find this pun-run plane sailing from now on.
Yet there is silence across the board.
Wood he do that?
Wood he do Watt?
(apologies for being serious here) I’m actually with Jaded Cynic, I think it’s a utility poll too. We have utility polls that look like this all over the city I live in. It’s not bark, just a really old poll. (now back to our regularly scheduled program)
Okay then…
.
*tastes*
Yup. Pole.
Heheh…that tickled. Do it again DrB!
Your timing is -as always- excellent!
*bows* Why thank you czuhc! *SQUEEZE*
TASTE THE POLE!
He’s not ready to admit he likes poles.
In Seattle, we prefer the more correct “upright wooden utility object”.
Politically?
it’s not even on a pole. it’s on a tree.
No. 3. The Larch.
The Larch.
To be fair, it is on a tree, not a utility pole.
(Poor tree, getting stapled: don’t people realise that a tree’s bark is like our skin- if it’s pierced the tree bleeds sap and infections get in which can kill the tree)
Life isn’t fair.
Zombie Strippers are fair.
Even on poles.
Maybe more so.
I thought that was a picture of her selling the last snow shovel??
the aging senator was still trying to bang interns with his futility pole
What was the picture of Dorian Gray senator doing then?
this is were youre taxes are being spent.
Well, local government had to make a choice between this campaign and the literacy program.
Stop rubbing our noses in your fancy ‘ability to read’, Doctor! *seethe*
I think you meant “this is were youre taxes our being spent”
THAT is what you notice — incorrectly, might I add –? How about changing it to: “This is where your taxes are being spent.”
O_O
WTH…..
I prefer the Finns to the Poles
(the punani is usually softer)
What, are Polish women’s hoohoos more severely weathered, or something? Sounds like a generalization to me.
.
.
.
but yeah, it usually is softer.
Its a tree, not a utility pole. So no recursive fail.
But LOL, did you see someone scribbled “or her” with a pen over the “It’s his free speech” part.
Not fail.
Making you point effectively = win.
I always point very effectively, thankyouverymuch.
Seattle is dumb.
Wrong. Seattle drivers are dumbasses.
Damn, are all those staples?
The poor tree has been stabbed for the sake of communication.
I voted by stapling my name just below the sign. Then i hade everyone else in town do the same thing
It’s not a fail; it’s a win.
It’s on a tree, stupid.
Indeed. The sign was obviously placed on a tree. I don’t see any fail at all… Unless there’s something else?
It’s a pole. We have poles like this all over Seattle. They all have staples in them from years of signage. The surfaces all look like this and some of them have chunks taken out of them like this. It’s not a tree.
So is it one of those poles for telephone wires, like here in Britain?
Yeah, phone and electricity. I know a lot of folks don’t expect utility poles to look like this, because when we have out-of-town guests, they’re often surprised. They sometimes even ask if they’re trees that were turned into utility poles, kind of realizing the stupidity of their question as they ask it. The answer, of course, is “yes, but only because it’s a giant log.” (As in, it doesn’t still have roots; that’s not its original location.)
The signs/posters became a campaign issue after our City Attorney banned posters on utility poles. Click on my name for legal history and analysis.
That’s why this was so contentious that someone would make a (satirical) sign about it. (It’s probably a “win.”)
But, most who think it’s a tree have probably moved on! And I don’t think I can convince you anyway. Oh well.
Fail fail,that’s a tree,not a utility pole.
Dumbass
It would even be a bigger fail then. To chose a living entity to mutilate over an
inanimate object.
.
Burlingame CA has handbills stuck to the light poles stating that it is against city ordinance to put posters and the like up on the poles. I tried taking pictures of them a few months ago for failblog but the contrast in the images was so light that they were hard to read. They’ve been out in the weather for quite a few years.
Hey dipshit…it’s a utility pole. Looks like you’re the one who fails
I guess this is like when you catch your kid smoking a cigarette, so you make him smoke the whole pack right in front of you. Anpu says it works when he does it.
Remember the Seattle Seven?
That was the Mariners win record last year. We try to forget that.
Well, I’m pretty sure it was at least more than 60 wins, but they could’ve done w/o the injuries and bad hitting and stuff…
I like to shit in the sink
Understanding satire fail!
Whoever sent this in is the same person who reads The Onion and says “What? The ballot machines didn’t elect a robot president! What are these people talking about?”
Yeah, I saw this and immediately thought “WIN”
Why is this sign pink?
Everything’s gotta be something, baby.
becouse if they cant be sexest
Oh seattle. You never cease to amuse me.
Ohhh, it’s Seattle. That explains everything.
Ohhh. Seattle is starting to shrink
I’d say that’s a win
too bad this is a tree, lol. u guys need to look again
That’s not a tree. It’s a telephone pole. Just because it’s made of wood doesn’t mean it’s a tree.
Are you kidding? Do they not realize how dumb they are?
Lol, they’re lame
TOTAL IRONY WIN
It’s on a tree.
Tom Green already did this, years ago.
Craiglist 1.0
i dont get it it says vote against signs on utility poles its on a tree…
leave that tree alone!
