This is another case of someone not thinking about how people read from left to right before reading from top to bottom. So, it seems as though this signage says, “SASA LELE,” whatever that may be. Luckily, it looks easy enough to rearrange the letters.
Hopefully, the manager realized that was the issue when that sale wasn’t bringing in any customers. Or maybe it was the manager who put it up in the first place?
Lost in Translation
Someone at this company took the easy way out when they were asked to translate a sign for this company. Instead of using a book or even Google, they went to a translator service. They typed in whatever this sign was supposed to say, and what they received in return was... a solid gold marketing fail!
The website they were using couldn't connect, and someone either wasn't paying attention or didn't know English that well because this is awkward! Hopefully, some kind-hearted tourists helped them out by pointing out the error.
Build-A-Baby Factory
This poorly placed advertisement takes away from what is happening in this ad! At first glance, this bus quite obviously belongs to some kind of robot baby-making facility.
But then you realize that a marketing error is all this is — one so bad you forget what exactly it was you were looking at, to begin with!
Umm... What?
Many of the people who ran into this marketing fail felt that it made no sense. But, even worse is the fact that some felt like the takeaway from this ad is that the thing that's for lunch is, well... you.
Combine that with the fact that there is no food pictured here, and the only thing on the poster is a picture of a woman, and you'll understand why people came to that conclusion.
Waiting for a Lift
This guy is probably feeling a little left out of the joke – if that’s even what this was. It was either that or someone just really didn’t think about proper placement for this sign.
When you're trying to make an ad with a point, the first thing you should do is try and think of everyone your advertisement could reach. Maybe this should be a few feet over near the actual entrance to the stairs instead.
