design

We don't know what you do at your job but we can guess that you don't have ads up everywhere insinuating that you steal children and eat them or something. People seem to have a really hard time proofreading. And we're grateful for it. Here are some more weird failures of design.

Signs, ads and products that could've used some more thought. Some are weirdly inappropriate, some are creepy as hell. It's weird how people never seem to get better at this stuff. Anyway, we're happy they don't.

What happens when people don't review their work? Misplaced toilets, stairs to nowhere and advertisements that look like living nightmares. Some of this stuff was planned, but still turned out to be crap anyway! And boy are we glad it happens.

The truth is, this stuff is child's play. Here's some darker and dirtier design fails to really get your motor running.

If you haven't guessed by now, we are huge fans whenever anyone screws up or makes something stupid. So here are some example of how well other people are doing. If you feel like you aren't productive or useful, at least you aren't the person whose van mistakenly says "Ass Doctor."

Quick note to anyone trying to design a logo for a product or business out there: It can help to have a second set of eyes look over your work. You never know where you might find a hidden "anus."

Here are some times people weren't so lucky.

Deceptive products make our blood boil, and these ones take the cake. Make sure to read the fine, fine, impossibly fine print. Some of the contents of these packages are comically smaller than advertised. And it doesn't just end with false advertising, this type of crap is pretty common.

Here are a bunch of failure-tastic reasons to have someone else check your work.

The successes of the world are propped up on a hulking heap of failure. So grab your failure shovels and get at that heap.

Always remember the golden rule of writing copy and designing products: measure twice, fail once.

Here are some unfortunate mistakes, left by their creators for all to see. Good lord, imagine having to do an 8 hour shift in the butt donut.

You might find these in a place called Purgatory. We're you're not 'til not happy will tickle your brain into a confused frenzy. 

While these were well-intentioned, they ultimately ended up resulting in spectacular failure. 

'Tis the season for theatrical attempts that end up being hilarious failures, if we're lucky! 

If you suspect you're bad at your job, let's find the people responsible for putting braille onto a bumpy background and making the most climb-able "security" gate you've ever seen. Don't worry, you're not the worst at your job.

Failure is the spice of life. Where would we be without laziness and poor proofreading? Enjoy these fruits of someone else's nincompoopery.

What child doesn't want to slide out of an elephant's butt? Back in my day, we worked 16 hours a day for the opportunity to walk uphill into an elephant's butt, both ways!
