3. 3. Mark | April 16th, 2007 at 11:40 am

   yeah but what do cockroaches have to do with it?

4. 4. Mark | April 16th, 2007 at 11:41 am

   also just did a quick google and turns out cockroaches don’t live long enough to develop cancer so it really doesn’t make sense now.

   Save the Cockroaches !!

8. 8. dotone | April 16th, 2007 at 12:05 pm

   Or, are they trying to say that the mall has a lot of cockroaches?

9. 9. A E R O | April 16th, 2007 at 12:08 pm

   Oh, and…don’t throw your cigarette “BUDS”… (what dumb ass approved these stickers?)

10. 10. Mark | April 16th, 2007 at 12:09 pm

    dotone good point, it does give the impression the mall has a lot of cockroaches

11. 11. Angelo | April 16th, 2007 at 12:25 pm

    I think this was intended for humor purposes. It’s like if you don’t care about other people then for the cockroaches.

12. 12. The Stallion | April 16th, 2007 at 12:30 pm

    Do you think cockroaches is a metaphore for the guys who spike their hair up and go to marina to giz?

13. 13. Q80 BOY | April 16th, 2007 at 1:15 pm

    The Stallion,
    yeah i think so

14. 14. Q80 BOY | April 16th, 2007 at 1:16 pm

    mark, whats the {6.5} ???

15. 15. dandoon | April 16th, 2007 at 1:22 pm

    what angelo said! i think it’s meant to be funny.

    lol@stallion!

16. 16. S | April 16th, 2007 at 2:04 pm

    But then if we don’t throw them on the floor and actually put them in the garbage cans, what’s the chances of the rubbish already in the bins catching fire and then destroying the whole mall…!!!

17. 17. Carlsb3rg | April 16th, 2007 at 2:27 pm

    cockroaches can survive radiation

18. 18. Marzouq | April 16th, 2007 at 2:39 pm

    Cockroaches can survive headless!! That makes no sense! Marina mall is currently filled with cockroaches!

19. 19. Jacqui | April 16th, 2007 at 3:21 pm

    Save the Cockroach, Save the World.

20. 20. Brava Valentia | April 16th, 2007 at 3:30 pm

    LOL what the hell?

21. 21. mar_yoom | April 16th, 2007 at 4:21 pm

    hehe
    It’s meant to be funny. They wanna ask people to stop throwing the butts on the floor, and thought that would be a funny catchy way of putting it. You know, instead of the typical “PLEASE DO NOT” signs that everyone ignores.

    But I guess it isn’t much of a succes, since not everyone is getting it or thinking it’s funny.

    I mean, seriously people, I hardly think the point is to advertise the abundancy of roaches in Marina mall:) At least I hope not!!

22. 22. Mark | April 16th, 2007 at 4:32 pm

    there was like another sign that said something like “you will die in 20 seconds” or something. i should have taken a picture of that to.

23. 23. jitaroo | April 16th, 2007 at 6:07 pm

    lol@ Jacqui with heroes refrence.

24. 24. Mathew | April 16th, 2007 at 6:40 pm

    the roaches can survive a little smoke.
    infact where theres smoke.. theres a “roach” !!
    LOL

25. 25. ananyah | April 16th, 2007 at 9:07 pm

    its buts ;p not butts!

26. 26. Haseeb | April 16th, 2007 at 10:29 pm

    ananyah it is “butt” where I come from. .
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cigarette_butt

27. 27. EniGma | April 17th, 2007 at 12:58 am

    looooooool!!!

28. 28. kyle | April 17th, 2007 at 3:18 am

    makes a lot of sense to me…. being a graduate of fine arts major in advertising…. except for the spelling of “buds”…

    mark…. wers ur sense of humor….. :P peace out man!!!

29. 29. Mek | April 17th, 2007 at 7:44 am

    I heartily approve this pro-raoch campaign. Our chitin comrades deserve more positive attention.

30. 30. Piyush | April 17th, 2007 at 8:51 am

    Mark! wheres ur sense of humour ! Its just a joke. They don’t want people throwin arnd their cigarette butts arnd !

31. 31. Mark | April 17th, 2007 at 9:11 am

    Piyush i do have a sense of humor but what they have on the garbage bins isn’t funny, its lame and doesn’t make sense lol

32. 32. DoWn2ErTh | April 17th, 2007 at 9:32 am

    i think you guys are taking it way too seriously, at least they are trying.. to me it made perfect sense that the sole reason was to put it in a humorous way.. and i wont lie.. i did smile to it and thought it was original.. don’t make too much of a big deal out of it.

33. 33. guessed | April 17th, 2007 at 11:30 am

    I thought it was a joke. Reasonably funny too. Obviously, these things can backfire in this part of the world as people seem to take things literally. Must say, I was surprised at Mark. He even researched it…now that is geeky!

34. 34. Mark | April 17th, 2007 at 11:33 am

    well i was just fucking around also lol

35. 35. Mark deSouza | April 17th, 2007 at 8:05 pm

    My girlfriend has a shirt that says that, but they say “butts” instead of buds.

    Here is also an online image of it:

36. 37. DoWn2ErTh | April 18th, 2007 at 1:30 pm

    wow, thats one flat shirt..

37. 38. Mark deSouza | April 19th, 2007 at 12:01 am

    lol..that was a picture of the “wall sign” version of it which you can stick on the walls of your room.

38. 39. j3k2 | June 23rd, 2007 at 11:20 am

    It was not suppose to be taken literally. It is a bit of a joke. It is trying to imply that when you throw butts on the floor, cockroaches may smoke it..and then get cancer….
