Sometimes the right bulbs on a neon sign go out and the message becomes completely wrong.

 

NY Times


The right bulbs burned out on the sign above Elmhurst Hospital in Queens, NY, to read, "I'm hurt," with the "e" and the "s" burnt out and the "l" looking like the letter "I."
    When the NY Times pointed it out to hospital officials, a spokesman seemed surprised and said, "Oh, God, are we going to get this fixed?"

Sad part: It might take five years to fix this knowing how fast the city --ahem-- operates.


It wouldn't be the first time a burnt-out bulb conveyed a different message.
