Why you should always proofread
If you know that “All Your Base Are Belong to Us,” you’ll love this hotel sign I spotted while traveling recently. I count three separate typos in it, but let me know if you see more. Keep the sage advice at the bottom of the photo in mind, too: “Some videos you can see, and some you cannot.” Perhaps this is a warning about DRM, but perhaps not.

Hehehe, that is an awesome find, Rob. Please tell me you didn’t see it in the US? (shudder)

Thanks, Lynnster. I’m just happy I didn’t find it in Tennessee. This sign is in Elizabethtown, Kentucky.

Oh man! Couldn’t believe what I was seeing when I say this, people just really do not get the English language do they?! These mistakes are so blatant.

They are pretty horrible mistakes. I reread the sign a couple of times to make sure I wasn’t reading something wrong because it’s written so badly.
