seinfeil – CityTV screenfail
It seems that a couple of our regular contributors/friends/enemies were watching CityTV this morning and saw the same mistake.
Thanks to Janine and Derjis for sending this on over. Spelling errors are always fun.

Bonus points to Janine for the second error.
seinfeil – one of these things is not like the other
Walking in the fantastic Mill Creek Ravine area, my eye was caught by something green.
ENHANCE!
Oops. (Or is this dastardly vandalism?)
seinfeil – those darn kids
You think you’re so funny, changing around letters on signs to spell out funny things, don’t you?
We do too.
Hey, we never claimed to be classy.
seinfeil: You must remenber this
Is this extra disappointing because it’s at a school? Maybe just a little.
Saturday’s seinfeil
We are grammar nerds, sometimes.
It was only a matter of time before poor use of an apostrophe made its way into a seinfeil.
This would lead me to believe it's Saturday's only...something...
seinfeil: Advertising mistakes
I had to snap this photo because it reminded me how tumultuous a life in radio, dependent on ratings, can be. So many people get fired so many times.
Interior: Edmonton’s EZ Rock 104.9. Early morning. The office of the boss. A nervous looking promotions staffer enters.
Promotions guy: Hey boss. You remember those bus ads we ordered for fall ratings?
Boss: Yup.
Promo: They’re on Edmonton Transit buses today… (a look of dread is on his face)
Boss: Great!
Two of those three people have been fired.
seinfeil – Meanwhile, Back at Casino…
Lightbulbs are expensive. Don't you know there's a recession on?
SEINFEIL SERMON
Umm, what?
I think, near the bottom of the list of things needed is a holy war with Leduc.
Seinfeil: “Do you think anyone will notice…”
..that you accidentally bought the wrong sign? No, I think you're cool.
Educating Edmonton since 2009
How did I miss this series of ads?
Have a good weekend, Edmonton.
p.s. the Educate Edmonton website doesn’t seem to be around anymore.
seinfeil – a trusty mechanic
You know what, if I had a car I would totally take it to TOONTOWN AUTO.
I'm told it's Downtown Auto. My way is funnier.
On a total sidebar, there are a lot of Roger Rabbit fan sites. By “a lot” I mean more than the one or two I was expecting to find by Googling Toontown.
The Princess seinfeil
Not only do I get to allude to one of the great 80s movies with the headline, I also have to point out a seinfeil that pains me a little.
I like the Princess Theatre. It’s too bad they ran out of letters/room to tell us about their third movie. (Thankfully, this is a temporary sign, since Moon is no longer showing there.)
Look right there under the Princess II sign. It's there.
seinfeil gets sporty
I’m sorry, which sport are we playing?
What kind of equipment do we need? Rackets? A helmet? Does that require a BALL?
I hear the ones with the extra L cost more.
seinfeil – spelling
I think we’ll end up finding that a lot of the best seinfeil’s include spelling mistakes that cause a double-take. Or just a plain head shake.
In this case, the sign company likely offered “convenience” but no “quality control.” I mean, it’s on both sides of the building…
As an aside, I also think ATM Machine (with "M" already meaning "machine") takes this up to new levels of fail.
seinfeil – the forgotten sign
This time we’ve got a sign that in and of itself doesn’t fail, but the fact it’s been sitting around our neighbourhood for 2 months begs some questions. Come pick it up, City of Edmonton.
And we thought this was funny ONE month later...
At least they cleaned the street when they said they would.
Whyte people like jokes
This story could test my “funny” skills, so I’m either going to wow you with my humour or play it totally straight.
Read on about Edmonton’s newest comedy club to see which way it goes.
seinfeil – Stop the oppression
Too long have we trampled over sand as if we were superior. No more!
We know it was really just a guy giving away free sand.
seinfeil
the edmontonian wants to be a place where you can engage in the important discussions about Edmonton, the pressing issues of the day. We want you to come to us for all things Edmonton.
But sometimes we just have to laugh. seinfeil (pronounced sign-fail) is all about those signs that cause a double-take.
So close.
