I was just in Elmhurst Hospital Wednesday. Different one, but had to check.

I love it! I tried to guess, first. I failed.

The Big Lots sign here had a couple lamps burn out this summer, resulting in it reading "Pig Lots" after dark.

Management apparently got right on it, as last night it was down to "ig Lots."

In Jeddah there is a Saudi-German Hospital. And yes it did once say Saudi Germ Hospital. But it was the work of pranksters and wastrels, not random failure. Pic was around on the net some years ago but not seen it recently.

The best one that I've seen first-hand would be the "Texas Road-Ho" in Chattanooga.

//It was there for five months before they fixed it.

Page not showing up on my phone. I am guessing it says "lm hurt". Am I right?

You should see the people that intentionally blackout the 'g' in "black angus" restaurant signs.

Oh, my God. That's exactly the buffet, in my town, I was talking about. Never saw that pic.

Clearview Mall, Butler, PA, if you were wondering.

I'm the only one I know that's a fan of burned out signs.

The best one by far was a place called Golf Galaxy. It was a bit of a stretch, but it read "Go Gay".

Never got a pic of this one.

One of those portable signs with movable letters was set in front of a cheap motel and must have been adjusted by some drunks walking home from the local pub.

Nytmare: taking a screenshot from a video game where the neon sign is like that on purpose DOESN'T COUNT!

Think you can be obscure posting video game images in a Fark thread... how DARE you...

=P

Putting up a neon sign is ALWAYS a dumb idea. One burnt-out letter and a store instantly looks cheap and tacky.

Smart people paint regular flat signs and light them with regular bulbs. Much easier and cheaper to replace.

There was a massive neon sign near a highway here, that was supposed to say FLOORS but it said FLOOPS. My friend's boyfriend was oddly fascinated by this, and every time we drove be, he'd be happily repeating "Floops!" for hours. He was sort of a stoner though.

/Got nothin'

Nothing changed, but I liked the juxtaposition. From a mall in Costa Rica.

Love the signs. But even more interesting in TFA was the link to a list of the ten hottest American Apparel models hipster porn (pops...Mostly NSFW)
