Looking for a place in Los Angeles? You're in luck. That sign's top line lets us know that one if not more of the apartments in this triplex is unoccupied. I wonder if it has ample closet space. I wonder if the appliances are new. I wonder if pets are allowed. I wonder ... oh, hold on. That second line points out that no empty apartments are available.What the heck is going on?
As the Clash asked in the early '80s, "Should I stay or should I go?"
My friend Lindsay, of IAMNOTASTALKER, noticed this complex's self-contradictory sign, which you can also see on Google Maps here. Click "street view" and zoom in for another look at incongruity at its best. We have a vacancy, all right — a vacancy in the cranium of this sign's creator.
LOVE this one. :) I thought the sign was funny when I saw it, but your write-up makes it even funnier.
