Brendan saw these all in Greenacres, a suburb in Adelaide, South Australia. Evidently they have a fake church, a fake park, and just any Oakden Central. Paging Baudrillard.
It's actually a church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, the "park" is simply a giant featureless parking lot, and Oakden was originally known as Oaktheden, I guess?
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

Dang. A trifecta.

This is "win"...
(Sorry, had to.)
Quotation marks on a definitive article! Priceless! Makes me proud to be "an" Australian.
"The" is the greatest one. I'm not even remotely sure what they were trying to do.
It was fine when the morons were just limited to pens and markers. Now they have sign-making machines?
I can't believe I never noticed that before! I drive past those signs nearly every day! Lol!
