Olympic FAIL
My wife's company had their company picnic last Friday, and since it was the day of the Opening Ceremonies, it was Olympic-themed. The cake they ordered, however, should have been disqualified from competition:
So very sad, in every sense of the word. I can just imagine the cake decorator's thought process:
Okay, they want the Olympic Rings on it. Is that spelled with an 'm' or an 'n'? I'll just fudge it. Very nice. Alright, now step back to survey my handiwork. Hmm. It needs that extra touch. I'll add some quotation marks. That always jazzes things up. Still, something isn't quite right - time to add some parentheses! It's an old trick of the trade. There. Perfect. The customer will be so pleased when they see how we went above and beyond...

LOVE it. Ha! I had been hoping for a picture of this for a few days now. I personally love how it says Olympics Rings. Was this a gag or were they serious? Come on now.
I can only assume they were completely serious, and that the thought never crossed their mind that the customer could possibly want anything different.
Like, say, the actual Olympic ring emblem.
Oh, my---the SAME cake featured on the Cake Wrecks website. You must go there. We laughed and laughed. It is a small world.

Oh yes, I'm aware :) My wife submitted it to Cake Wrecks.
Obviously, this was the only way for the bakery to avoid a copyright infringement suit from the IOC.
I submitted to the daily wtf... http://forums.thedailywtf.com/forums/p/9641/176884.aspx
You should've written
("picture of andrew jackson, picture of the white house, united states of america, twenty dollars")
on a napkin or something, and paid with that.
It just doesn't get any better than that.

Part of the thought process might include "hmm what colors are the Olympics rings and which color ring goes where?? Aha! Red fonts can't go wrong!
Herro. I rike your cake.
Olynpics? They didn't even spell it right...
OOH! Second page of reddit:

Nonono. Whoever took the order simply wrote ("Olympic Rings") in the place where you write what the customer wants on their cake. The guy decorating it, being a dumbass, simply wrote that instead of actually drawing the rings.
I seriously hope you didn't pay for that. If you did, you failed worse than the cake decorator.
Um, obviously I didn't pay for it. As I clearly said, it was my wife's company. Secondly, obviously the bakery made a replacement cake for free.
