I saw this sign on the side of the road. It’s near where I work, and I drive past this location almost day. However, I have no idea what “Trilogy” is. I guess it’s a church, but I have no clue where it might be.
Even if I was interested in attending a random Easter brunch, this sign won’t do anything to lead me to theirs.
This one goes hand-in-hand with our recent Wal-Mart example. It’s not a bad sign, but it’s not very clear. I saw this sign on a Monday morning on my way to work. Was it left up from the previous weekend? Or does it really mean “this Friday” coming up?
This neighborhood often has outdated signs posted, so I have no idea which is correct. A simple fix would be to add “this Friday, Nov. 30″ and there would be no questions. Of course, they have these signs all over the neighborhood, so it would be a sizable task to change them all.
I have Verizon Wireless for my cell phone and I’m reasonably happy with them. However, they seem to be having a very hard time figuring out what their rates are.
First was the very amusing story of George Vaccaro, who couldn’t convince Verizon that $0.02 and $0.0002 were actually different numbers.
Now we have a guy that called Verizon 56 times and asked them two simple questions regarding their rates:
1 — What is the data overage rates for the basic 10MB data package for $29.99? 2 — If you get the Core Choice 450 minutes package with unlimited data, what is the data roaming rate in Canada?
Of the 56 reps he talked to, only one quoted the correct price for both rates and he received a total of 22 unique reponses.
“If it doesn’t say Wood & Fullerton above the door, you’re at the wrong Goodyear.“
That was the tagline of a commercial I heard on the radio yesterday. While I understand where they’re coming from, it seems to put a downer on the Goodyear brand as a whole.
I heard it as “all of the other Goodyear locations suck, but ours is pretty good.” Wouldn’t you want people to think the entire company is great? It sounds to me like they’re competing against themselves, which isn’t a great business plan.
This seems very much to me like churches that are competing for each other’s members. Shouldn’t they really all be on the same team?
They’ve been pimpin this thing on the radio (and TV) around here non-stop. They make it sound like the best website ever created.
Really, it’s not a bad idea. It gives great info about each stadium/city, and a map with useful info. However, since it’s sponsored by Regions Bank, they only show Regions Bank ATMs – no others.
Now, I realize that Regions ATMs should be featured prominently, since they’re the sponsor. The problem is that they bill this as the most useful site you can imagine, then purposefully leave it short-featured in order to appease their sponsor.
This was kinda funny. We went to an apple orchard on Friday (great place for the kids to go). Anyhow, this was the sign they had when you left the parking lot.
I was putting on a Wiggles DVD for my girls yesterday when a line in the insanely long copyright notice caught my eye. Something about “Kipper” (another show we watch). I wanted to see why it would mention him, so I tried to rewind. Too late, the DVD was already at the main menu.
I rebooted the DVD player and got ready to pause it on that screen. It came up, I hit pause and I was greeted by the “you can’t press any buttons here” symbol in the corner of the screen.
So, not only is the copyright notice contain WAY too much text for even a speedreader to read in the three seconds it’s up there, you can’t even pause to read it all if you want to!
My next move would have been to get a camera, get ready, snap a photo, blow it up on my PC and see what I could read, but seriously – that’s the only way to do it? Seems like someone got something a little bit backward there.
We saw this sticker on a package of pita bread in the kitchen. I thought it was odd that it didn’t mention the year, but it wasn’t a big deal — if you were in August, 2008, you’d know it was expired.
Then my wife pointed out the date. How many September 31sts have you been around for?
I saw this ad in a local paper here today. It’s got a few issues (nearly invisible link to their site, and the site is just “coming soon”), but the biggest is the screen. The scan doesn’t do it justice, but the blue is the exact same as the “blue screen of death” that we’ve all seen.
It says to me, “bring your computer here and this is what it’ll look like”. Oops.
