Please help me understand this

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

This is what happens when you don't teach kids how to read, write and spell properly... and when you import your spray cans from China.
It is meant to say 'Kill out gluttony' a sentiment I applaud!

I know who I would kil! And, I would put it straight in their gut.

Seriously, I would stand all graffiti people in a room and spray them with the most noxious paint available.

If the spray cans are Chinese, that would explain why there's no spell-checker.

It is clearly a X-Factorial(or perhaps Trekkian) reference to the "classic" grafitti of the War written by a German Existentialist.

You have it all wrong - it is that word game where you change 1 letter at a time to go from word A to word B. They obviously didn't get the hang of it.

I think it's an advertising agency experimenting with a new slogan for weight watchers.

Probably targeting a new market segment.

"Kilo Ut Gut" This is an advertisement for ancient guitar strings at a Taiwanese music shop. Of course, "Ut" in Thai-wanese means "cat", so it's fairly obvious to me that they are into (grunge) advertising.

A kilo of cat gut will string approximately 4 guitars, or sitars, or 7 mandolins... :biglaugh:

Looks like a combination of different languages. If you add a T and make it Kilo tut good, roughly becomes Kilo is good! Any Weight Watchers tirade?
