Happy holidays from the Vultures!

When, exactly?

You're probably thinking by now, dear reader, that the Vultures spend altogether too much time at the urinal. Who knew there were so many examples of photo-worthy bathroom signage? This gem, spotted during jury duty at the Los Angeles County Superior Court, caused me to laugh out loud:


Just the one flush? Per day? Per trial? Unfortunate, in any case!

An underwhelming film is released.

No money left in the budget for complete sentences.



Critic Kenneth Turan calls this "ripped-from-today's-headlines thriller" a "slick excuse for efficient mayhem ... not half as smart as it would like to be." With a movie poster that puts a period after words like "Now they have become the target," we would tend to agree!

Thanks to Hollywood vulture vza for this catch!

Mr. Otis Regrets

Family comes to town. Vulture finds this sign posted in their hotel's elevator:
Vulture is delighted.

It's not the economy, stupid.

Nothing says "My business is a failure" like spray paint signage.
Nothing says "My life is a failure" like getting it wrong.

Coffee's Shop

This one is tough to see. If you squint just so, you'll notice that the fancy glass directory of services at the base of a building in downtown Los Angeles proudly proclaims "Starbuck's Coffee" is a tenant.



I'd sure like to meet Mr. Starbuck. Methinks Starbucks Coffee Company would not approve this signage!

Holy Baat Cave!

We are grateful to vulture Karen for sending in this frightening pair of signs spotted at an all-girls Catholic school in San Diego:




I'm not sure what's worse: multiple signs confirming the blunder, mysterious handwriting apparently incapable of representing the letter "M," or the fact that these are posted at an institution of learning?

Grammar In Peril

I've been invited to an "advanced" screening of Planet In Peril! Is there something that makes this screening better than others? Is it advanced in the same way as those annoying parents think their child is advanced and then try to get them to learn Japanese before they're two?

I've heard of seeing a movie in advance, but an advanced screening...that must be something very special indeed.



At least they got "first come, first served" right.

Fewer Leters

Sacramento vulture Cori sent in this gas station blunder:



It's a wonder they got "assistance" right!

Ain't technology great?

You don't even have to walk to the front of the supermarket anymore. As long as you're not using a gift card, you can complete your transaction right there in the aisle!
