Rimini weirdness

I wanted to show you some of the stuff on the somewhat weirder side I saw on my vacation this summer.
Even though it's been a while, and this post is really late, some of these things still make me laugh...
Top left: This is part of a poster advertising a waterworld just outside the city. I think if you're advertising for family friendly aqua fun, you might want to use something else than two older guys. Especially in that position, and with those looks on their faces! Top right: A sign I saw while walking home one night. It says "Brown swimming pool". I don't know about you guys, but a brown swimming pool doesn't sound very tempting to me!
Bottom left: This one cracks me up every time. This is the side of a rather big building. The line you see is filled with spikey things to prevent birds from sitting on the line, shitting down the wall (a birdshit protector, if you will). The rest of the wall was completely clean, but right here... well you can see for yourself!
Bottom right: Mental pastilles. If I tried them? No, I didn't dare
Top left: A sign on the entrance to a bakery. No fat dogs allowed, if they are wearing muzzles and chains.Top right: Another sign. This one on the entrance to a clothes shop. It has the usual "No eating", "No smoking" and "No dogs" figures, but it was the last one that made me giggle. No farting! I went into the shop, and tried to promp just for the heck of it, but no luck
Bottom left: This door has two adresses. I wonder if they get twice as much post...
Bottom right: Last but definitely not least - the scary child eating clown

What would the owner of the store do if you did manage to fart in there? Chase you down the street with a cork?

I'm not sure you need them, Mik!
Zap - You just have to swim in the ocean and fart outside the shops and you'll be fine
Thanks P2 - I couldn't resist taking a photo of it. It was all around town, so it was impossible not to see it
Gavin - Ohhhh, I see what you mean! That would have been even weirder!
Glad you got a laugh, Tamil

Intentional promping isn't as wrong as clown-themed kiddie rides.

My new favorite word!

I know, Herm! It was super creepy sitting on the opposite bench, watching the nose go *blink* *blink* *blink*
Sorry about your nightmares.. Finally I can give back for those evil turkeys!
James - How can intentional promping ever be wrong?

If it clears the room
I guess it depends on one's regard for those present.

I was thinking in a more egocentrical manner. I won't go so far as saying promping is good for you, but you catch my drift...

I think that people blowing themselves up are never the ones who have planned the attacks. If you're fed information (or propaganda, if you will) you'll end up believing in the cause, never questioning why your leaders will never do the dirty work.

Was it common with suicide bombers there?

No, not at all.
