I don't eat anything with a face.

I spotted this lovely example in Italy a couple of years ago. I especially like the way the shake appears to be propositioning top-hat hotdog and burger-boy.

I love the outrageous number of tags -- "tongue," "point a finger," red shoes," "insane," "eyelashes," what have you -- just the level of devotion here is just wild...they ought to do a CSI episode where the whole case hinges on the killer getting something wrong on a humanized curly fry sign...

If I had grill marks like that, I wouldn't be smiling...

What if it were you
hanging up on this wall?
If it were you in that sandwich
you wouldn’t be laughing at all!

The google translation never fails to elicit humor:
Uh, as someone has probably thrown his jaw at the wrong Zeipunkt too far, or perhaps the sausage mouth by a foreign hand was forced open so that the buttons are visible?
I was scarred driving through Pennsylvania and seeing billboards for Yocco's, featuring the evil hot dog king with a baby dog skewered on a trident fork, about to go in his mouth. Reminds me of all the happy pigs advertising BBQ.

Yeah, Red Loop, I was just going to post this little gem:
Dear friends, it took long, but the thick potato emperor has new clothes and presents itself with openly strutting breasts, because there is on the first day in spring of 2010 to celebrate
I love computer translation sometimes. :)

There was a clam shack in the town that I grew up called Clam Haven. It had a sign with two little happy clams painted on the left and right sides, just sitting in their shells with these big grins. Of course, it wasn't long before someone painted these big zz top beards on them. The owners would get up there and scrub off the graffiti, and someone would paint the beards back on within no time. So the clams stayed like that for years, with these big grins and giant beards. All through the 80s and into the late 90s. I don't know why it happened, maybe the business changed hands or something, but one day they scrubbed the beards off again. By the next week someone had painted a giant S on the sign. It now read Clam SHaven. It stayed like that for a few more years, might still be like that for all I know. So I guess the moral of the story is to choose your mascot wisely.

Awesome! See also the Cut me, wicked servant pool on Flickr, featuring restaurant signs of animals who are apparently about to eat themselves, and are for some reason thrilled about it.

I'm disappointed - I thought google was actually going to translate "potato" into "fuck you."
