20 Signs That Cut Through It

We live life at an ever increasing pace. So when we see a sign we want it to get to the point, cut to the chase. We want to read it, digest the message and move on.

Here is a selection of signs that do just that. Ironic or simply sarcastic - we get the message and we get it quickly.

These signs certainly do one thing – they cut through it.

Doris Day Sings About a Geiger Counter

In the 1949 Warner Brothers musical My Dream is Yours, a young, fresh and radiant (and distinctly non radioactive!) Doris Day  stars as Martha Gibson, a singer who moves to Hollywood to audition for a network radio program called Hour of Enchantment.

So, she gives it her best shot and - with no irony - sings about a geiger counter. Mmm.

Why does she choose to belt out a love song about a geiger counter to ensure her big break? Who can say.  Yet the song is delivered with such radioactive pep that she gets the job even though the fatcat sponsor of the radio show dismisses the tune as boogie woogie and too modern.

Y2GAY - The End of the World is Nigh!

After last night's failed 6pm end of the world earthquake failed to appear we thought that the time was ripe to share this little gem of a short movie.  If you thought Y2K was a threat to civilisation as we know it, then perhaps you had better get ready for Y2GAY.

In this very funny short movie, filmed documentary style, an Australian couple barricade themselves inside a bunker, reinforce their doors and stock their cupboards because it is happening all over again.  This time, though, it’s the gays who are coming!

This film made the finals of TROPFEST 2011 and Kate Worsley, the long suffering wife, won best actress there.  It was writen and Directed by Dan Ilic and James Pender and produced by Peter Slee.

Oh – and it’s very funny!
