Otacon posted:There is a dry-cleaning store in my town called "Colony Cleaners" that gets vandalized easily three to four times a year with someone covering up the Y. Next time it happens I'll remember to take a picture and post it here so I can tell all you naysayers "I told you so." That was the first and only time I've ever seen the Old Canal Inn's sign go out like that, if at all. And I took that picture around 10 years ago at least. I've heard, though, that nowadays some business have their signs rigged so that if a certain letter goes out that would change the sign into saying something vulgar like that, other letters would cease to function as well. I'm not sure if that's actually true or not, but sounds plausible enough.

Sign chat! I don't have a pic because this was before I even had a cell phone with a camera and I didn't carry a camera around with me but one magical evening in high school while driving around with some friends, we saw a Discount Tire sign that was shorting out and the letters DISCO were the only lit letters and they were flashing. It was groovy, man. Edit: Asses!  I Might Be Adam has a new favorite as of 03:38 on Sep 5, 2013 |

There's a Red Rooster near where I used to live where I swear it was a tradition or something to steal the "S" from the sign on the roof (for probable context, it's also in a suburb near a highschool). Any time it got replaced, it'd be gone within a day at most. They finally put a stop to it only a few months ago (after a good decade or so of S-thefts) with a single sign instead of individual letters.

Clipse did a music video featuring Obama Fried Chicken for their song "Popular Demand" but then blurred it out because the guy who owns it wanted some money for licensing. I couldn't find an uncensored version of the video online though.

How do you "Obama fry" something? I want to make Obama fried chicken fried steak gravy chicken Bisquick biscuits. Obviously, it's biscuits and gravy, but the gravy is made from chicken fried steak, the biscuits are Bisquick chicken broth biscuits, and I'm not sure how Obama fits into the recipe.

This was sold around 2009 in Germany. Your average shopper doesn't appreciate loud exclamations of "hahaha holy poo poo look at this" in the frozen food section, I learned that day.

You can put Obama and the US flag on the box, but in America we dip our chicken fingers in ketchup or ranch. Get out of here with this "curry dip" nonsense, Germany. Your chicken is a lie.
