Love it - about fell out of my chair when I saw the first pic, then really did fall out when i saw the photoshopped "Petco, Lies and Ich" pic. The originaly is truly priceless. Too bad probably only reefkeepers truly understand the joke

I didn't read the entire thread, have to run, but I enjoyed the pictures.

I'm posting because I'm worried about RC's liability and possible lawsuits resulting from having the Store names so Prominant etc.... Sorry, I'm a worry wart but you might wanna check it out.

MonkeyDog,


To Reef Central

Odds are it is okay. After all, the store is aware of their own sign, and the main office has been notified months ago. Plus, this is the first case of "truth in advertising" that I've ever had the opportunity to experience.

To prove libel you have to demonstrate malice. This is harmless. The company would also have a hard time proving this is hurting their business in any material way. It's just a little fun.

That's Great!

Our local University built a new student union. In their ultimate creativity, they named it the "Welcome Center".

However, the week it opened, the "L" burned out and remained that way for almost a month.

To this day, I still call it the "We Come Center" ... Much more flair!

Along the same lines, there is a technological university in Sydney. Universities of this type are usually named "Higher Intitute of Technology", this one was named University of Technology, Sydney. There is a big "UTS" sign at the top of the building just south of the main part of Sydney City, would have been an interesting sign if it was named Sydney Higher Institute of Technology like it was supposed to be.
