BEAUTIFUl PEOPlE

Marilyn Manson would be proud of this young man, found by MacMan, rallying THE BEAUTIFUl PEOPlE to action on Facebook.  His first lowercase L seems to be a result of poor planning.  But the second lowercase L in PEOPlE is just inexcusable, unless the kid was just trying to be consistent, in which case there is, at least, some method to the madness.  Incidentally, his skin condition is known as VITIlIGO.

I WIll CAll THE COPS

According to Metropolitan Cartography's description on their Flickr photostream, this blunt warning was posted here here in Brooklyn, on Montrose Ave between Graham Ave and Humboldt St.  I actually found these photos separately in a Google search while researching the text "IF I CATCH YOU PUTTING THE DOG HERE TO TAKE A SHIT I WIll CAll THE COPS", from the first photo, but I'm assuming both signs authored by the same vigilante.

It looks like the white sign above was probably an attempt to improve the brown sign on the left with a dash of color.  However, poor planning with overly liberal letter kerning on "SHIT I" resulted in a bad case of the Squeeze with "WIlLCAllTHE".  Some things that make this sign special are the unnecessarily dotted uppercase i's, and an extremely rare sequence of uppercase and lowercase L's in the same word.  This combination has only happened once before in the history of lowercase L's.

I took a virtual walk on Google Maps Street View to see if I could find the sign, but no luck.  Let me know if you see it in real life, maybe interview the SUPER 250F?

UlTIMATE Catch of the Day

It took me a while to find the lowercase L in this photo.  This ad for a HealthGuard mattress may offer THE UlTIMATE PROTECTION AGAINST DUSTMITES, MICROBES & ALLERGIES, but it apparently does not offer one lick of protection against lowercase L infestation. Thanks to Gary C. for this fantastic Catch of the Day!

KNUCKlE BONES

Another from John, a sweet sale on KNUCKlE BONES at a pet shop in Grand Haven, MI!

BlONDE ROAST

John returns to lowercase L with a BlONDE Roast you can buy at Starbucks in Holland, MI.  The BlO prefix reads like the coffee is either organic or very strong.

This CAT FOUND ad may be a joke, but the address written as SUNSET BlVD is not.

KIM JONG Il, PART II

Update: KIM JONG IL DIES ... NOT KIM JONG Il

KIM JONG Il DIES

If it's Kim Jong Il with an uppercase i and a lowercase L, then it should read KIM JONG IL DIES in an ALL CAPS headline, no?  Alert CNN iReport! Or is that CNN lREPORT? WE MAY NEVER KNOW.

UPDATE: KIM JONG IL DIES, NOT KIM JONG Il

Driveway ClOSED

Katie explains,

Saw this outside a movie theater a few blocks from my house (Regal Cinemas in Simi Valley, CA), where the parking lot lines were being repainted. I'm not sure why they needed to ciose the driveway, but it sure seemed important. 

As an added bonus, this sign isn't even in front of a driveway, and the 'i' in "Driveway" is missing its dot. TRIPlE FAIl.
