  1. Meowth says:

    No way in, no way out…

  2. JohnB says:

    This is great, if you’re looking to get in. If you’re trying to get out, you’re SOL.

  3. Gone With The Wendell says:

    Ummmm… so where’s the engrish?

  4. Nick says:

    This isn’t Engrish. It’s FAIL, but not Engrish.

    • i totally agree! i think that you WIN.

    • JohnB says:

      Under Section IV, subsection 2.135, paragraph 8, line 12, Robert’s Rules of Engrish specifically state that “in those cases where the picture is funny, although it contains no grammatical or spelling or syntax errors, and it does contain material that obviously was translated from a language other than English, and the English meaning of the words is such that confusion and/or ambiguity is created, such items may officially be classified as Engrish for the purposes of posting on websites such as Engrish Funny. Anyone who complains that this is ‘not Engrish’ shall hereby be officially designated as a dork, and any ridicule that is heaped upon such person by others on the website shall not be deemed ‘flaming’ under the conventions of blogging.”

      • Nick says:

        This isn’t Engrish. It’s FAIL, but not Engrish.

        • JohnB says:

          This is deja vu all over again!

      • bluejade says:

        That’s not a sign, that’s a conundrum!!

    • dvhk says:

      I agree, I posted this originally to Failblog. Anyway, thanks for presenting it and thans for the votes! :)

  5. El Vis says:

    Clearly you exit between those closed gates. Roll them open and step over the plants.

  6. me says:

    In sense of the title: NO. THIS IS SPARTAAAAA!!!!

  7. insane says:

    Argh! I walked back and forth for hours looking for the exit!!!

  8. dr handle says:

    It’s not Dreadful Pun Hell – we have a revolving door there. I’m told that they’re installing a jacuzzi to try to encourage people to stay there longer when they’re sent.

  9. Queen o' sarcasm says:

    This looks like the FAIL nation book cover that says: Do not enter
    Enter here

  10. Aporia says:

    No, hell is other people.

    • CandleJack says:

      I think you’re the first person who actually gets the joke.

      No Exit, the play by Sartre, takes place in Hell? … sheesh, uncultured failbloggers… >.<

      • dr handle says:

        Although it’s technically an accurate translation, that’s probably not a completely accurate translation in the gist of the famous line: “L’Enfer, c’est les autres”. Hell is not other people, so much, it’s seeing yourself the way others see you. Oh, and really uncomfortable furniture and malfunctioning central heating. Myself, I decided in high school that a good working definition of hell was sitting through a French play knowing I’d be writing essays about it for the rest of the term.

        • JohnB says:

          I had the term operationally defined for me when I saw, “Waiting for Godot.”

          • blueJade says:

            Obviously, you’ve never sat through a recital given by sixty resentful fourth-graders forced to render their version of “Feeling Groovy” on the recorder.
            And you call yourself a parent!

            • JohnB says:

              Oh, the best thing I could contribute at this point would be a post I sent a friend who happens to be an author last December, following my daughter’s school holiday recital, but it’s entirely too long. He laughed so hard he encouraged me to get it published, but we couldn’t come up with a suitable publication for it to go into.

          • paws4thot says:

            I think the sequal “Godot Just Phoned to Say He’s Running Late” was worse!

            • JohnB says:

              And then there was “Waiting to Teleconference With Godot III: We’re Reduced to Eating Condiment Packets to Stay Alive.” Boy, was THAT one ever a clunker!

  11. baldrick says:

    Maybe the colour coding is significant. Like in the not-so-old days in Mississippi.
    The left board shows the Entry and Exit for white people, while the right board points to the Exit and Entry for the citizens with Afro-American heritage.

  12. Gaara says:

    There is no confusion due to the language. Extreme left, pronounced as “pravesh”, means entry and the other, “nikas” means exit. So this is definitely just a fail not an Engrish.

    • paws4thot says:

      Language knowledge win – observation FAIL!!

      The one sign says “Entry go left, exit go right”, and the other one says “Exit go left, entry go right” in both languages. Point taken?

  13. Madness says:

    Is this like that riddle where the one guy always tells the truth and the other guy always lies? Or something?

    • JohnB says:

      Everything I say is cake.

      • Madness says:

        Then who’s telling the truth?

      • Meowth says:

        Liar! You are a paradox, for that must have been a lie! Actually, everything you say being a lie does not turn that statement into the truth. Perhaps it just means that some of the things you say are lies.

        • General Lord Saber of the Ongoing Joke says:

          Everything I say is cake. = Everything I say is a lie. He can’t be lying, but he can’t be telling the truth…

          • General Lord Saber of the Ongoing Joke says:

            It’s the Liar’s Paradox.

            • Meowth says:

              Like I said, just saying “Everything I say is a lie” does not make it the truth, and that stating that that statement is a lie does not mean that everything he says is true. We are not playing opposites here. The part of the statement that is a lie could be the word “Everything,” making the true statement “Some of the things I say are lies,” which would also include the original statement, therefore, no paradox.

  14. Igetstabby says:

    nexus of the universe?

  15. dukethepcdr says:

    Looks like a missing scene from the movie Alice Through the Lookingglass. Even has the checkered floor.

  16. Taneen says:

    Aint it fun to mess with tourists heads?

  17. shanzza says:

    only in India. How very Zen.

  18. jorn says:

    Nice (apparently obscure to your readers) Sarte reference! :D
