Around Azeroth: Signs of our times
Blizzard's decision to put pop-up advertisements in the game itself was not appreciated by the Warcraft community. Just like when someone tried to introduce the metric system in the United States, the ads were shot full of arrows, burned by a fireball and then devoured by angry bears. (Actually, Wigglepuff of <Bad> on Dragonmaw [US-H] is simply wearing a doomsayer's sandwich board and a wisp costume at the same time.)

The picture is fun; the commentary, priceless. :)

The bear druid's head position slightly confused me at first, since I found out a while ago that other players don't see your head/upper body tilt when you turn slightly with the right mouse button held (your feet stay still, but your head and upper body, or just head for feral forms, turns up to about 15 degrees, further turning will start the rest of your body to follow) but then I realized that it was just that idle animation of the bear, throwing the head from side to side while roaring.

And here I was thinking this picture was about a hungry bear about to devour a core hound pet.

Upon closer inspection of the sign, there appears to be a small hand-written note in the corner. It reads: "Beware of core-hound-pup-eating-bears."

And this is why I was so sad when completing the quest meant I lost the sign.

The metric system is awesome!

Anyone else thinks it looks like the first line of the board reads "Fu*k" ? :O
PS. If you think a wisp wearing the board is funny.. try being a wisp and eating Fish Feast at the same time (or, probably, any food)
