Smiles or laughs guaranteed

Well, I find these worthy. Was thinking of fun things to read:

  • MAD magazine movie satire.
  • Hindi movie lines (dialogs) - surefire... predictable and unintentionally funny
  • Hindi movie reviews online
  • Get well soon messages from fans to actors.
  • Times of India online - again unintentionally funny writing.
  • English tag lines under Hindi movie names. 'Lucky - no time for love' ??
  • Calvin n' Hobbes collections
  • New apartment descriptions in builder brochures. 'Happy Meadows - a blend of 7 star luxury with convivial lavish landscaping under an azure sky...' =)
  • New apartment complex names - 'Fortaleeza', 'Sophronia'... What the heck do these mean?
  • Roadside misspelled signs and banners.
  • Classifed ads in the newspaper.
  • Matrimonial ads. 'Eastern values with western outlook' - what, like Marco Polo?
  • Online dating profiles. Standard disclaimer starts with - 'I never thought I'd have an online profile/I can't believe I'm doing this...' So why are you online?
  • Apartment or club entrance signs. 'Do not commit nuisance','By order - no visitor parking'
  • Stickers or labels on autorickshaws or taxis. '2000 cc Benz', 'Hai, Lavanya', 'Volvo jet', 'BMW'
  • Resumes that have passport #s, father's name, and the same canned objective on them.
  • Hindi movie ads in the papers for obvious flops. 'The no. 1 smash hit -2nd housefull week' (on day 7)', 'Housefull! - Call now for tickets'.
