First! Yay for waste of time comments!
Guess what’s coming to the first troll ….
did he die?
not yet
Guess what’s coming? Maybe a lowered index finger?
my thoughts as well, I mean what’d get your message across clearer than a giant billboard flipping the bird at everyone
Guess who’s coming?
Actually because of the fingers maybe a prostate check?
What kind of f’ed up doc to you have who does a prostate check with two fingers?!?! You must have pissed him off majorly. Two fingers is actually a gyn exam.
its really for petting sharks thats the way your suppose to touch them
waste space
WASTE MORE SPACE
There’s another advertisement that helps this one make more sense. I knew this was a Newport Aquarium sign without looking.
The other advertises the shark petting aquarium where the kid’s hand is like that & it looks like he’s about to finger the shark! Sooo wish I had a picture!
Ha ha, fingered.
only would have been better if it was the shocker…
Followed by a spider-man…
makes me horny
Sorry, I’m sorry for killing Michael Jackson. I won’t do it again. I swear!
Don’t stop now! Kill more!
I’m working on it.
Whats coming? Not me those fingers are waaaaaay to big!
I am awesome
give PEACE a chance!
Or victory. Or Verizon.
No, it’s a mistake. They forgot the “one in the stink.”
SHOCKER!
2 in the grassy knoll, 1 in the ass-y hole!
Victory is life.
I AM NOT A CROOK!
Yes, I got this cute little puppy named “Checkers”. But that’s all! And I’m not giving it up, you hear me??
… I guess they haven’t opened up to that yet.
Fuzzy and the split finger fast ball.
with two more fingers it would be Vulcans! eeek geek alert!
This won’t hurt a bit…
… double-finger your pleasure
Where’s the glove?
Child predator glove?
speculum.
I love your comment about the dog and how it runs so fast…
Wow I have a dirty mind but the only thing I got from this was the boy scouts are coming…I salute you.
What in the hell is that billboard trying to communicate?
probing minds want to know
Jaws….it is for an Aquarium- I presume they are getting sharks, bad advertising plan, only one worse I could !magine would be to use a speculum or a sex toy!
’scuse 2 posts- I word
They should use a cello.
I still don’t get it.. what does that hand have to do with Jaws?
!imagine it in Silhouette?
Actually, I’m !imagining it conducting the orchestra that’s playing the theme of Jaws.
*Swims around in water*
OMG MY HAND IS GONE!
*Swims frantically back to shore*
OMG MY FEET ARE GONE!
*Bobs helplessly*
OMG MY… ah, screw it.
(I seriously doubt that helped, but sorry for the WTFness of it all)
We must rescue bob!
it’s how hooper saluted capt queeg.
they have tank where you can pet sharks, but you have to only use two fingers (like in the picture) so you don’t get your hand bitten off…this is something you would only know if you’ve been there, which makes this ad pointless!
It’s a bad advertisement for their shark petting tank. There is another advertisement- I saw in my local bank- where this kid looks like he’s trying to finger a shark. No joke. Wish I had a pic.
The two fingers is the “shark petting protocol” at the aquarium. But I guess you wouldn’t know that without having been there, so… advertising fail.
Jaws….it is for an Aquarium- I presume they are getting sharks, bad advertising plan, only one worse I could imagine would be to use a speculum or a sex toy!
it’s for the Newport Aquarium around Cincinnati. You’re only allowed to pet the sharks with two fingers in the shark-petting tank, so I assume it’s a poorly researched billboard for more sharks to pet?
Ohhh…. sheesh. That is some bad advertising.
Thanks, ershin. You’re right, fluffy. Only people that have actually been to the aquarium would know what that means. Everyone else gets to have an x-rated field day. LOL!
To be honest, I thought the billboard was from an evangelical group saying that Christ was coming. In paintings, Jesus has been usually depicted holding up two fingers as a greeting.
And here I thought it was an advert for Scouting.
Yeah, I thought it was the Jesus thing, too, before I could make out the print for the Aquarium. Then, I, too, as someone who has never petted a shark, was confused. Good thing we have this site to interpret bad advertising for us.
Yes, sharkingly bad.
I fin-k they need to rethink their strategy.
Or just get tanked.
I would close the dor(sal) on that idea.
You think they went a little overboard?
Well this sign sure won’t start a visiting frenzy.
They’re gonna need a bigger booth.
*Sign*
I deleted my first line:
Everyone’s bringing their chums?
*Ties pun to harpoon*
*Shoots previous comment*
Spear me the excuses.
Watch me pull an excuse out of my hat.
Shut up your mouth.
that’s boorish, dahling
We blame moose and squirrel?
Yeah, it just bites.
cub scout salute! let’s recite the pledge… I promise to. …
At Newport aquariam they have ‘Shark petting’. When petting the sharks you have to hold your hand like that and run your index and middle finger along the sharks back. They make you keep your hand like that so that people don’t try to grab the sharks. (Grabbing leads to a bad thing.. lol)
Damn, I was there a few years ago and never heard of that. Either my ADD is beginning to get scary or it’s recent (please tell me it’s recent)
The British are coming. Damn them someone give me a horse and a lattern I must warn the town.
All of them? That could get messy…
Another finger extended and the billboard would be shocking.
Or three.

*squeeze*
…shocking? Just use the fail tap.
Or the tail fap.
Win.
Or two hands. Clapping. *squeeze*
The letter I in sign language?
No, no! The letter V is next.
U FIRST!
I think U are on to something there, Velvet!
Good to see you – *squeeze!*
Are the auditors gone?
The letters K-Y in sign language?
Yes, they’re finally gone! Just in time to start end of month tasks. Yay. Pffft.

I’m waist-deep in California’s sales tax report right now. Aaaaannnnd, now the boss is having a tirade. If you need me, I’ll be under my desk.

Now that would be uncomfortable…

Boy scouts — BE PREPARED
boy scouts are 3 fingers… cub scouts reciting the pledge use two.
I think it’s always 3 fingers no matter the level. I know it to be true with girl scouts.
Cub Scouts are only two.
Interesting.
Yes, Cub Scouts are two, but spread apart like a “V”. Boy scouts are three, but together like the sign.
…so says this cubmaster and next-year’s scoutmaster.
Lets start with two fingers and see where that takes us…

Your kid is getting married?? Congratulations!
*Giggles at tickles*
Indeed! Leila, feel better, and congrats on the baby gettin’ married! I hope it’s a wonderful day for all.
Wonderful for the one robbing me of her Chan.
I sound so pathetic. I am happy – most days. 
…and don’t worry Brewski. That’s why I have a clone. I will pass my migrane over to her and we’ll take care of business.
Aww… I’m sorry you’re sad. Do you like the future SIL?
He is absolutely wonderful and a sweetheart! I guess you can say no one is good enough for my daughter. Is that horrible to say?
Definitely not horrible to say. I think most parents feel that way. But it’s great that he’s a good guy. It would just suck to watch your child marry someone you weren’t fond of. I’m sure you’ll feel better about it after the event, and realize you haven’t lost her. She’ll still be there, and she’ll still need and love you. She just might be a bit preoccupied for a few weeks.
there is medicine for that, yanno. …
WHAT!
Nah… I think it’s just breathing hard.

nothing wrong with trying to practice the correct use of the language…I call it practice because I get it so wrong so often.

ooh, that sounds better than excedrine migraine!
When driving around you they should know what’s coming.
Me?
No, not at all! You seem like more of a person to pull up next to someone and offer them a cookie.
LOL! Ya know, I always thought I was an aggressive driver till I moved to this gosh foresaken place called TX. These people are INSANE!!!!
Oh yeah, I forgot you were in Texas. Maybe you SHOULD offer them a darkside cookie.
Can I offer them annihilation instead?
Go for it. The more violent the better, just be sure to get away with it. We need you here.
Muahahahahaha!!!!
*goes to lab to scheme*
Ah, you got one too!
The “My First Chemistry Kit” Made me a bit crazy too.
Who are you calling crazy?
*head twiches*
Pfft. Drive in Boston. Or NYC.
Although in terms of driving with full-disengagement-of-cerebral-cortex, New Orleans ranks well up there. Boston and NYC just require lots of testosterone and/or adrenaline.
Ha, you want a white knuckle ride? Come take a drive up the Cincy-Dayton I-75 corridor. It’s one of the busiest stretches of highway in the nation, it has consistently been one of, if not the most, dangerous stretch of interstate in the nation, and practically the entire corridor is under construction right now. I genuinely, without any trace of exaggeration, fear for my life every time I drive it.
I-95 to Washington, D.C./Beltway area
O.M.G.
And honestly, for people who left their brains at home, any town that’s a tourist trap during the busy season. I didn’t know that going on vacation made it ok to make a left turn from the right lane, but apparently it was my mistake.
Oh, god! I was talking about just that stretch last night! It is a nightmare, and once you get towards D.C. (esp. at rush hour) it turns into “my favorite parking lot”
Yeah, and whenever I’ve tried to go there, there has invariably been an overturned tractor-trailer blocking ALL FOUR LANES… just in front of the GW bridge. Which is the *only* way to get in without going out to BFE and back again.
10 most dangerous roads in the USA, according to whomever wrote this page:
buyingadvice(dot)com/highways.html
No joke, we had a bus driver fall asleep on that stretch of I-15 when we were on tour in high school. He wondered why we were upset!
I fear bus drivers. There is this one that usually drives the bus I take home from work. It’s a highway route, and down a rather perilous curvy hill, where he usually insists upon driving with his elbows while blowing his nose, eating a snack, opening his water bottle, etc. I frequently skip the first bus home and wait fifteen minutes to catch one with sane driver.
I remember I-75 being way up there for a long time. It was something they taught us about in drivers ed. (That was almost ten years ago for me) Maybe 75 has gotten better, that or that list is wrong.
I agree with you, Bearly, about the tourist trap thing. We get loads of tourists here, and it really is like they leave their brains at home. They can’t drive, or if they can, not over 40KPH, and without signalling. And they’re just as bad everywhere else. Is it really necessary for two people to take up an entire sidewalk?
Yes. Florida is bad because you have a lot of elderly drivers and a lot of tourists. Yes, I just made an evil stereotype, I know. Not all elderly drivers have poor eyesight or slow reflexes or poor judgement. But enough do that it makes Florida a dangerous place.
We have a lot of elderly here, as well. It’s not that much of a stereotype. It can be exasperating driving behind them.
There’s a reason for that stereotype…
*Lives in a tourist trap with a large retired population and a pretty large university*
*Thinks that tourists + college kids + the elderly is a very, very scary combination*
Really Brewski? Then I dare you to drive in Sun City (AZ). You will poop your pants trying to dodge every ‘boat’ of a car driven by the elderly community there.
No thank you. Lately, I haven’t needed any assistance to poop my pants.
Any given street in Chicago. The taxi drivers here are menace to pedestrians! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve nearly been hit!
And try walking down Michigan Ave, ANY day after 10am and before midnight. It’s an exercise in anger management.
Avis, the one thing I miss most about Chicago, though, is that there’s always a street running parallel to the one you’re on (with the exception of the freeways that run on a diagonal), so you rarely are truly stuck. I’ve always thought that drivers are crazy in Chicago, but they seem to hit one another MUCH less than the ones around here, for whatever reason.
How about that big curve in the LSD? People seem to hit the barriers and each other on that with surprising regularity.
True. They call it LSD for a reason. And that is one place that you can get truly stuck. NEVER forget when there is a Bears home game!
I just sit in the living room window and watch that curve every time it rains. I saw TEN accidents in one day once.
Or Sun City, TX (near Austin)…Nothing but huuggee Caddys, Buicks, and then the annoying golf carts…Horrible
Boston/NYC sound more like a challenge to me. Here they are just outright RUDE drivers.
Just get a prosthetic arm giving a one-fingered salute, and mount it sticking out of the driver’s side window. Then you’re all set!
Oh, and use the now-free left hand to lean on the horn.
BTW, any US city, European city, or even 3rd-world city is tame compared to China. Riding in a car there is a harrowing experience. Words could never do it justice. If you’ve been there you know what I mean.
My daughter told me horror stories about the drivers in Taiwan. I suspect it’s much the same as in China. She made the observation that the many stray dogs are pretty good about crossing the streets without getting run over however.
Taiwan is much more modern and developed. Like Hong Kong, except they drive on the opposite side. China is worse, more like a 3rd-world country that has recently modernized. Very poor roads mixed with good roads, bikes, animals, huge potholes, construction areas with no warning, and drivers that follow no discernable rules. People routinely drive in the oncoming traffic lanes, even when driving on separated roads with a median. They ignore traffic lights. Lanes? Ha! Need to make a left turn? Just do it, even though three lanes of traffic are bearing down on you. They either slam on their brakes and veer around you, or you slam on your brakes and they veer around you while you thread the needle. Pedestrians push carts through the middle of busy 6-lane intersections. It’s impossible to overstate how chaotic it is.
Moscow and Abakhan are the same. Horrible…People line up in the middle of the road to cross with about 3in between the cars and the people…Scary
Ass drivers? Do you need a licence to drive one of those?
actually, it used to be both the index and middle fingers (used by the french, i believe), but in some war the index fingers were removed (can’t remember entire explanation… sorry) so it got changed to just the middle finger.
makes centimes to me
It’s a hand mudra…
*breathes*
*chants*
If some sharks could see this… they’d laugh and think :”humans… they taste awful, but they got a JAWSOME (hidden hint!!, can u tell what i mean??) taste of humour!!” …. btw… this billboard is REALLY a little bit naughty!!
To resolve the debate, this was a Jaws reference. They used this on the commercials too. (Not to mention that horrible cliche song, blaarrrgh.) I’m from the area, and I remember this billboard. Strangely enough though, this didn’t register as possible sexual innuendo until I saw it on Failblog. Failblog, corrupting innocent minds since several years ago….
…and many years to come.
So we hope.
*bear hugs Leila*
*swoons*
I don’t get it, what does an obscene gesture have to do with the movie “Jaws”??
I actually need help with this reference, too. Guys? Anyone? Hello… Hello…
It was a salute, if I remember correctly. I basically know it was a Jaws reference because Newport Aquarium was doing a big “we’re getting sharks, let’s rip off Jaws” thing. They aren’t the most original advertisers.
Thanks, Jimbo is Helpful!
It looks slightly reminiscent of the Jaws movie posters’ design. Perhaps they were going for that. (clickie example)
The gesture had nothing to do with Jaws actually, although they did rip off Jaws for the commercials. To steal from ershin above: “it’s for the Newport Aquarium around Cincinnati. You’re only allowed to pet the sharks with two fingers in the shark-petting tank…”
So they put up billboards like this all over the place.
OHHHHHHHHHHH
Hang on! I know! It’s Jesus, right? Or… or… I don’t know.
DJ SHADOW!
No, silly! Santa Claus is comin’ to town.
An old man, who comes into your room when you are sleeping….anyone else find that scarier than sharks?
..an old FAT man with a beard.
…Who somehow manages to make it into your home once a year, on the clock.

then eats your cookies…*shudder*
…with MILK!!!!!
*flees thread*
It’s old weardy beardy.
You just can’t trust a man who enslaves a mythical race and packs around a bunch of toys in his vehicle.
Powerd By reindeers!!! One with a glowing nose?????
Some people here are gettin’ nothin’ for Christmas! And I’m not going to be included! I love you Santa!
Another reason not to trust the jolly man. You can’t tell me that wasn’t caused by exposure to dangerous levels of toxic radiation!
Let’s trample him into dust, then throw the remains of the dust to the wolves, then blow up the wolves.
Well it’s OBVIOUS why his nose is red.
Aaahhh… I always wondered why Santa smelled like cheap whiskey when I visited him in the mall.
Attempt Number Three (3) – first two disappeared.
Klicken Sie bitte.
I want nothing to do with his demise, but you guys go ahead. I still want a present though … so, how will that work?
We know why Santa has a red nose, but what about Rudolph? What’s his excuse?
Cocaine. Nuff said.
*Sigh*
I appologize for the eventual repeated message.
C0caine. ‘Nuff said.
Granted it doesn’t explain the glowing, but still.
That also explains his unnatural leaping ability. And his hyper personality.
“She likes me!! She likes me!!!!”
Seriously. You. All. Are. Getting. COAL. This. Year!
I guess we won’t start on the Easter Bunny then Ms B.
At least there’s a fine balance. If I’m too naughty, Santa won’t bring me anything, but if I’m naughty enough, I can get some pretty fantastic prezzies from my fiance!
Oh, so that’s why they took away our angel smiley.
I would get busy with the naughty-ness of it all if it guarantees little goodies in the end Chan.
Teehee!!!!
I want goodies!
I got the best little goodie last week. My sweetie surprised me with an engagement ring.
We’ve been engaged for a while, mostly because he got a little pre-emptive with the asking, but now I have the ring to prove it.
At least sharks cannot do that, unless fitted with reverse scuba gear.
Please tell me you’ve seen the Robot Chicken skit about the “uncut” version of Jaws…..paaleeeeease………

Sounds like either a Metalocalypse or ATHF thing. Metalocalypse is crazy but not that random, so I’m gonna say it was an Aqua Teen Hunger Force thing said by… Carl?
You are correct. If you want to see it, clickie.
Whee!
I always wanted to shoot that little meat man though…
WHAT!!! How could you want to harm meatwad? (since ATHF is completely nonlinear it wouldn’t matter anyways)
His voice. It makes me want to do… evil things.

probably, but I cannot guarantee any memory of it….for many reasons.
Well then, crappy quality, but you’ll get the message. Clickie.
In the front door and ringing the bell!
im pretty sure this is a repeat
I don’t need a prostate exam…I don’t even have one O_O
That’s how I interpreted it.
… and I do have one. And it’s been examined. And, no, I didn’t enjoy it, other than being glad its healthy.
…though I’ve never had it examined at the Aquarium…at least not yet.
Does anyone actually *know* why this is a fail?
I’m guessing you’ve never had a rectal exam before…
You are correct, I would never have associated it with a rectal exam, I could only associate it with the Brownie salute (girl cubs). (The cub scout salute used to be two fingers in the open position representing a wolf’s ear.) And yes, there are so many wrong answers it must be a fail, but a weak fail at that.
I’d call it a fail based on how many “wrong’ guesses there are here. Apparently very few people can actually guess the right answer.
Oh and here I was assuming that it’s some kind of countdown, so logically what’s coming up next is a hand with only one finger up, basically flipping the bird at everyone passing by. That’s my take at least.
♪♪Little rabbit foofoo running through the forest picking up the field mice
bonking them on the head….♪♪
That’s one satanic rabbit. We should show him what it’s like to be bonked.
He was so bad, the Good Fairy punished him. That’s pretty bad. Although I don’t see how it helped matters any for him to be turned into a goon.
Oh my God, the urge to quote Monty Python is too strong!
*tries to resist the urge*
*head explodes*
Where? Behind the rabbit?
That the most foul, cruel, and bad tempered rodent you ever laid eyes on!
You twit! You had us all going!

Holy crap. I was actually there yesterday. I missed that sign. But did you see the semi on 71 I think it was, that wrote in the dirt on the back doors of the cab asking for men to flash the truck?
Yesterday…? Oh, yeah, yesterday, when the entire blog was sitting out on the side of highway 71, watching trucks go by…

Heeeeere, squeezable Moomim, Moomiiiiiiin
I have no idea. What’s comming?
It’s an ad for the Newport Aquarium’s proctology services!!
I decided to go to the source and ask someone I know who is/was involved with the campaign:
“OMG. I know. I was so mortified when they went with that billboard.
It represents the two-finger touch which is how you were supposed to pet the sharks in the shark petting exhibit.
The “exhibit” was “coming” that summer. I think when they replaced those billboards with shark pics, people were disappointed.
I know!”
MORK IS COMING!
nanu nanu
what does the hand have to do with aqarium???
I’d say the fail is in the uploader, not the picture. The hand gesture is not rude. If it were flipping someone the bird, it would have to be either showing the back of the hand, or minus the index finger. As it stands, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with a respectful salute gesture. Any dirtiness is in the mind of the uploader.
@ Bergman
What, are you on the advertising staff of this aquarium??
I guess I’m the only one who thought about a cigarette.
And no, I’ve never smoked.
i believe they failed at spelling “cumming”
I proctocly didn’t get this probing joke. I thought I had my finger on the pulse of humorous responses, apparantly I was a digit off.
Really though, the execution of intent on this billboard is little fishy.
(I ’spose I’m just grasping at puns now..)
Ok.. I’m done… Fin.
thousand years of pain?
Not sure if it’s been mentioned, but that is a statement… so the question mark shouldn’t be there.
“Who is coming?” — question mark
“Guess who’s coming.” — no question mark
…that aside from what many here have already gleaned — that ya might not want to lick those fingers. hehe
i dont get it….
Neither Do I….
Of course idiot 10 year olds like you two wouldn’t get the joke
or maybe people who don’t have a dirty mind like you…
Maybe You ‘Adults’ Should Just Quit It With The Insults Already, and Just Explain The Joke To Us. Unless, You Yourself Don’t Get It?
Use your imagination kid
Two fingers in the butthole that’s what’s coming.
lol the shark exhibit duh! haha this is totally in my city
oh man when i saw it i almost crashed into the railing laughing so hard.
I thought it was doing the sign language ‘B’, and that someone would make a 4chan joke. >_>
A prostate exam.
At first I thought maybe the hand was left over from a previous billboard, but a google image search found another that was the same way.
ha, tristate fail #3
pet the shark exhibit
This billboard is a double fail. First, the obvious makes-no-sense fail. The second is a punctuation fail. “Guess what’s coming” is NOT a question. Question mark unwarranted. Victor Borge is spinning in his grave.
GOD says: “Have a safe trip” or maybe he will be coming. It is based from the book of Revelation: he is coming (chap 22?)
I’m starting to be sickened by the number of posts on this site that come from cincinnati. . . god i need to move
It could possibly be the sign language letter “U”… Thus, it would read :
“Guess who is comming? …. You.”
maybe?
Ahhhhh……. get a tan!
That van has an Ohio license plate.
Probably because the Newport Aquarium is on the Ohio/Kentucky border.
For those wondering about what the fingers mean, the two fingers is how one induces vomiting. So when the two fingers go in, “guess whats coming” back out.
Is it just me or the finger is missing here?!?!?!
Thats a “U” in sign language… so maybe if you go to the aquarium you also get to come…. hmm
Comming fail
For the love of God, people. It’s an ad for a shark petting exhibit at the local aquarium. Sick freaks…
FIRST!
Why the hell would they put Cub Scouts in the aquarium as an exhibit?
“Guess whats coming”
ummm a heavenly vagina???
*orgasm*
oh my god, thats where I live…
Yes.
Ah, the Newport Aquarium. Right across the river from my hometown. I believe the sign is advertising their shark petting exhibit, but the Kentuckians made a slight oversight with this ad.
I’m not quite sure whats coming, but im sure it’ll be a real shocker
I love the Newport Aquarium. We got to meet the penguins! And yes, people get a chuckle out of the “finger signs”
At first I thought it was something in sign language for the hearing impaired… Which would have made it a HUGE FAIL.
IM CONFUZED!!!!!!!! :’(
a prostate exam?????
No one’s suggested kancho yet?
I live in the greater Cincinnati area where these billboard were put up. They have been the prompting of many masterbation jokes.
haha I live near the Newport Aquarium! They make you pet the sharks like that, but I’ve never seen that billboard. It must be in Ohio..
Uh, no thanks, I’m healthy.
ZALGO COMES.
Oh gosh no!!! TURN AROUND! TURN AROUND!
Hey that’s in the nasti nati!
represent, but fail
My guess is the sky.
Well, I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but that hand shape is a “U” (not the proper way to sign “you”, of course!) in American Sign Language. My guess is that it reads “Guess what’s coiming? You!” Bad use of leet, my guess =|.
Obviously what’s coming is the shocker.
I think we all know whats coming…
I laughed when i seen this sign. I live by newport aq. It’s in Newport Kentucky, I live in Cincinnati Ohio. Ha, too bad this is about shark petting w/2 fingers.
Penetration?
