Actually, it could also be a merman, not just a mermaid. And the other sign — is that, like, a pirate with a peg leg?

Comedian Todd Lamb often posts odd signs from a fictitious person named Chris on lamp posts in New York City. They form an ongoing story about the life of an eccentric man who wants to meet other people like him. The Village Voice interviewed Lamb about the project:

Tell me about the Chris character.

I feel like a lot of New Yorkers are in their own little world, whatever that world is. I wanted to see if I could break them out of that. For Chris, all he wants to do is meet up with people, because he’s not busy. He’s the opposite of all these New Yorkers who are booked solid throughout the day, and even if they had free time, they wouldn’t want to meet up with you.

Chris has lots of time and is wiling to meet you for the most mundane things. And no one wants to do those things except Chris. Like, Chris wants to eat some Fritos and move a mattress. He just wants soda, snacks, and your time.

British tabloid Daily Mail recently noticed that some Chinese products have suspiciously familiar names, occasionally with really funny results.

Do you think your children would notice if you brought them home a Polystation 2?  Or maybe you’re in the market for some Birkinsticks?  I can’t wait until someone opens the first branch of McDucks or Pizza Huh in my neighborhood!

I particularly like this one: The Hilarious & Crazy Signage, Part 12 (TWELVE!? When does he sleep?): Link

Pedigree dog food has a trio of funny ads – I’m partial to this one: "Beware of The Dog, He Has Abominable Breath" because as a dog owner, I can attest that it’s true! The only thing worse that my dog’s breath are her farts.
