    Please, flash the squid instead.

  2. bucket says:

    Understand not

  3. Dan2025 says:

    Then there’s the OTHER kind of flash as well…

    The one that involves shirts being lifted and all?

  4. Nonymous says:

    Or get a tan.

  5. fishwife says:

    but what is the octopus?

  6. meat popsicle says:

    I think this is the only sign on this sight that actually makes sense, is still funny, and doesn’t make you say wtf.

    • Kit says:

      Yeah, they could have just said ‘No flash photography’, but apparently the octopus is sensitive about not being mentioned.

  7. B. Schmidt says:

    Witty headline FAIL.

  8. Jane St.Clair says:

    Flashing the octopus only encourages tentacle rape. Please be safe ladies!

  9. PD says:

    Sad thing is that this is in America… it’s at an aquarium I go to. ^^;;

  10. LilRoxy says:

    wow, thats sad…

  11. Amy says:

    This is from Monterey Bay Aquarium, I think. The octopus is sensitive to light. Humor = Weak

  12. Ree says:

    That’s at the Monterey Aquarium! In California! Its English, just ridiculous

  13. sbd says:

    Actually, while not being Engrish, it is a fairly cute double-entendre by the staff. Kudos to the MBA mollusk tenders for showing they’re not as stodgy as most lay-tards believe scientists really are!

  14. Guess Again says:

    haha..I’ve been there! awesome! you can never find the little guy…always hiding away in the dark corner…probably doesn’t like people staring at him and (hopefully not often) knocking on the glass!

  15. Marxman says:

    Maybe he’s always hiding because he doesn’t like to be flashed.

  16. Scott says:

    Hey i took this same picture at the monteray bay aquarium and I sent it to fail blog but they didn’t accept it.

  17. Catgirl says:

    OMG. No way. I knew it would be o here, I guess. I’ve actually seen that sign. I always crack up over it.

  18. antonia says:

    that sign is in the monterey bay aquarium they have it for a lot of animals
