People left in hysterics by unfortunate Christmas gift – so can you figure out what it says?
WHEN it comes to Christmas gifts, there are millions of different ideas out there.
But one woman was left in hysterics when she spotted a light-up sign in her local Sainsbury’s in the recommended Christmas presents section.
The sign was meant to say “Be Kind”, but the cursive writing was so elaborate that it actually ended up looking like something quite different.
“Can we have a strangest Christmas decoration thread? (I fully appreciate the irony with what it says!)” the woman wrote alongside a picture of the sign on Facebook.
People were quick to comment on the post, with many admitting that they thought it said something very rude.
“I looked at it quickly and thought it said B**lend,” one wrote.
“I can only see b**lend,” another added.
To which someone else replied: “I now can’t unsee that.”
“Be kind b**l end,” another comment read.
But others saw something else in the sign.
“Be kernel…like a popcorn kernel,” one person wrote.
With another adding: “I’m guessing it’s be kind but all I can see is be kennel.”
“Be ‘kinell! Almost a swear,” a third laughed.
“I can see what it’s trying to do but it’s not doing it well,” someone else commented.
