Shocking warning sign

Life is full of warnings.

"Don't cross the street without looking left & right."

"Be careful, this beverage is hot."

"Don't run with scissors."

So I wasn't very surprsed to come across a warning sign on an electricity box near the exit gate in my apartment complex. So I decided to snap a pic of it. What I DID find surprising though was how the artists that design these stickers had obvioulsy become bored and needed some fun in their lives. So they have spiced the signs they design up a bit.

Take a closer look at the "electricity" in this pic. It has a face. A FREAKIN' FACE. Are we trying to make Mr. Electricity look nicer? Friendlier, perhaps? There's nothing friendly about that unfriendly grimace. And what about the kid's reaction? He's been thrown back into last year. Bzzzzzzzt.

And Mr. Electricity looks angry and set to administer another jolt to poor young Johnny.

Mmmm, this is one way to make kids realize "electricity is NOT my friend." Good job, guys at NEMA.
