Has anyone seen the new BBC webpage? Now that's classy. Easy on the eyes and you can "customise your homepage" using the link at the top. If JT offered something like this, I would definitely consider making it my starting page! http://www.bbc.co.uk/

I know this may be a "foreign" thing, but the more products I see one person plugging, the less I want to buy them.

“Everybody here will have problems once you start working. Go for it!”

If some dude called "Hulk" voiced his frustrations at me, I'd be like "Yes sir, I'm very sorry."

Why does an airport need to promote itself? It's like an image campaign for toilets! You either need to use one, or you don't.

"So what we’re really talking about is AMPLIFIED instruments."

I wasn't planning on going into linguistic detail, but I think I should clarify my post. Of course "powered" usually means "amplified" when talking about musical instruments. But I specifically chose "powered" because the sign insinuates machines/instruments that are plugged in,…

Still, there is enough space at the bottom-left of the sign to add "..or bagpipes."

There's not much worse than the sound of terrible bagpipes.

Although you may find "acoustic" as one of the definitions of 音響機器, it generally refers to "audio equipment." This sign can be interpreted in many ways but it really means don't use any "powered" equipment/instruments.
