      Do you know that you don’t need to add your web site when you post? Your name is the link.

    At least they used “ladies” instead of “lady’s”.

  4. Metalnoir on October 26th, 2008 at 1:21 pm

    That’s just astonishing.

  5. PollyAnna on October 26th, 2008 at 2:10 pm

    Must be one of those backwards religions.

  6. Kid A on October 26th, 2008 at 2:59 pm

    So there are religions that aren’t backwards?

    • I'm With Stupid ---> on January 19th, 2009 at 1:37 pm

      I prefer sideways religions, myself.

    Holy Building, Batman!

    What would happen if a gal did go there while she was on her period?

    • Snarky on October 28th, 2008 at 9:08 am

      A portal to hell will open and unleash upon the world untold suffering…or the Easter Bunny will show up.

  9. SpiderEater on October 26th, 2008 at 5:08 pm

    It almost reads like ladies are not permitted to stay away when they’re on their periods.

    • 588 on January 28th, 2009 at 8:06 pm

      Ha, that’s how I read it.

  10. Loquacity on October 26th, 2008 at 6:29 pm

    Why are men allowed in during *their* periods? Seems a little unfair … ;)

    • Metalnoir on October 27th, 2008 at 8:59 am

      Because many guys are basically ragging it all the time. I say this as a man who isn’t–the ones who are are nearly insufferable for the rest of us.

    Not seeing large
    - amounts of English
    - fail here, just a bad grasp of
    - parallelism, but that’s about it…?

    As for religion fail, they don’t seem much weirder to me than most major world religions…

    • Laura on October 27th, 2008 at 4:10 pm

      Serious parallelism fail.
      But also – who is “it”? It seems that only “It” is not permitted to enter since there never seems to be a referent for the pronoun.

      • Anonymous on October 30th, 2008 at 8:59 pm

        IT IS not permitted is not reffering to IT as the noun but as something you should not be doing

        • I'm With Stupid ---> on January 19th, 2009 at 1:39 pm

          *cringes at your spelling of referring*

  12. Rue on October 27th, 2008 at 9:25 am

    But I want to climb on the holy buildings, Mom!

  13. sarcastress on October 27th, 2008 at 9:59 am

    Dude, heed the sign! I went in there during my period and immediately burst into flame.

  14. Michael on October 27th, 2008 at 12:01 pm

    Other than that odd “To” at the beginning, I’m not seeing a big fail here. Am I missing something? It’s sloppy, but not woeful.

    The period razzmatazz occupies a pretty substantial (relatively) portion of Leviticus, so that’s not ignorance or sexism, just an iron-fisted adherence to Old-Testament dogma. It’s not any weirder than keeping kosher.

  15. Elizabeth on October 28th, 2008 at 2:45 am

    Just because something “occupies a portion of the Leviticus” doesn’t mean it’s not sexist. I don’t have to respect someone’s sexist/racist or anything else-ist beliefs just because they’re part of a religion.

    • Metalnoir on October 28th, 2008 at 9:47 am

      Word.

      Preach it, Elizabeth!

    • Michael on October 28th, 2008 at 9:58 am

      No one said you had to respect them. But in the context of the religion, it’s not sexist. In the context of, say, your life, it may be, but the people entering that building to pray are not living your life. In the context of my office, the ocean is wet. A dolphin wouldn’t agree.

      Hard to believe that the entire world does not share your beliefs, I know, but it’s amazing and true.

  16. ade t on October 28th, 2008 at 6:11 pm

    If i understand that right,then you HAVE to wear short pants when you enter the building.

  17. Anonymous on October 30th, 2008 at 7:30 pm

    This is why I’m not religious..

    • Juju on November 12th, 2008 at 3:48 pm

      Really? THIS SIGN is the reason you’re not religious? Wow… Have to say I’ve never heard that reason before.

      “I don’t believe in God or the Bible or anything considered religious because one time, I saw this big sign with lots of strange restrictions and really crappy grammar.”

  18. SoulEspresso on November 10th, 2008 at 2:19 am

    Some people have a hard time believing that all beliefs are equally valid … even when they violate the law of non-contradiction.

  19. suedo on November 15th, 2008 at 12:22 am

    Maybe it is a Mikveh and that is the reeason why they won’t let the women in during their period. Everything has a reason.

  20. suedo on November 15th, 2008 at 12:22 am

    *reason! damn it!

  21. Anonymous on November 15th, 2008 at 9:53 pm

    This is from India, in places like that the period is revered and what not.

  22. dim on November 22nd, 2008 at 2:41 am

    If I were a woman, I would storm over there the minute I started my period and bleed all over that fucking place with a big smile on my menstruating face.

    • Amanda on November 22nd, 2008 at 5:56 pm

      I don’t know you, but I like the way you think :)

      However, someone mentioned there wasn’t bad English here, I beg to differ.

      Put this together:

      It is prohibited to enter do not wear short pants.

      Or, it is prohibited to enter to stay away during your period (for the ladies).

      I’m sorry, that’s some seriously poor English, nevermind the backwards, sexist religion.

    • pannonica on January 28th, 2009 at 9:09 pm

      Only a guy would say that. (Please ignore the logical impossibility of a woman saying “if I were a woman…” and follow the spirit, not the letter.) Just to be nitpicky,dim, the menstruating goes on somewhere else.

      As for the sign, major multiple English fail. The religion fail aspect is kind of redundant and irrelevant as far as I’m concerned.
