The Big Question
I couldn't resist taking a snap of this poster on the wall of a local church. It wasn't so much the question, but the answer which some comic had scribbled underneath that caught my eye. Personally I would have written "Oh yes they can", as it is better English. I wonder if the vicar had to get permission from Google to reproduce their logo?

Pretty funny, I like it.
ReplyDeleteChurch signs are funny! Many of them make no sense at all. We saw one today that said: "'My way is the highway' - God." Huh?
ReplyDeleteI would guess the vicar figured he had God's blessing and wouldn't need Google's permission.
I would hope he got permission.. No one is above anyone...except for one...:-)
ReplyDeleteI actually think the sign itself is much more clever than the grammatically incorrect scribble underneath. "Oh yes you can." Seriously, are we in Jr. High? Not to mention, implying that Google can answer every question except religious-based questions is pretty good free advertisement so I can't see them having a big problem with it.
ReplyDeleteI'm shattered...I'm sure google and the interweb know everything.
ReplyDeleteHa ha I'm not a native English speaker but
ReplyDelete1. It looks funny to me
2. If you made the "Oh Yes You Can" a little bigger it would look like a Google add
Great picture!!! Love how you enjoy you daily life
A good example of the anti-scientific approach of the church. Evidence comes in the form of belief - very convenient.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to say that the vicar doesn't want questions asked, period. Religious belief is about acceptance rather than enquiry.
Very interesting photo.
haha. Guess the numbers are dropping
ReplyDeletewhy you don't write like this: Oh yes you can, cause you're better than Yahoo.
ReplyDeletejust a joke. It's really funny photo
LMAO this is hilarious! It's the graffiti response that gets me...
ReplyDeleteNice find GM.
ReplyDeleteit looks like a message , it is cleverness to make such poster
