Are you smiling?

If I can’t have fun, no one can.

anyone caught smiling will be beaten

*note underneath sign*
We understand this is a playground but instead of taking your tax money we will tax your cents of happy.

Boy, there are gonna be some sad children in China!

So, I can’t say ‘wee..’?

Any enjoyment in the playground are strictly prohibited. Go have fun elsewhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel sorry for the anglophones that burst into laughter when they see this…

You will have fun and you will like it!

whoop dee F**kin’ doo

…This is serious business

Rules are fun! 😀

Ha ha, that’s- NO, OFFICER, I WASN’T LAUGHING I SWEAR! I was just getting back in line!

violators will be sent to North Korea. Then we’ll see who’s laughing !

these signs were removed during the glorious 2008 Beijing Olympics

Better look serious when you play.

Be sad and you rewarded with no happy slam. Greedy go be big!

It must be a trap meant to find people with a proper understanding of english i.e. enemies of the state

IF you are caught having fun, you will be charged with 241 unhappiness.

maybe it says “smile and have fun in this area please” in chinese :O

Welcome to Emo Park, please not to enjoy your stay!

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Being sad will be rewarded….

how ’bout little giggle ?

having fun—-?at prohibition?

I was fined for giggling…>_<

One should be considerate of the local emos.

Violatores will be taken to a sweatshop for good time. Hard work is happy work

If you’ve having fun you be punish!

“Having fun prohibited”…”never fail to switch on the fun”…would you damn people make up your minds? What is WRONG with you?!

(see Engrish “bath sign”)

All violators will be shot.

Did my wife post that???????

I guess this is the interior of the Bangolow House that Hates All of Us.

the guy who put that up must be running funeral parlours

its kind of funny that this sign has the best grammar on the site…

Pool Rules: Water Strictly Prohibited

Every time you laugh, a kitten dies.

Communism 101: If I’m not happy, no one can be.

ROFL. It actually says: “Playing [sports] is strictly prohibited.”

If you have fun here, and get caught, run to the “Dying Prohibited” zone!

Violators will be shot. Officers will be shot for laughing at the violators.

China tries its hand at a new form of prohibation.

I would like this more if it wasn’t posted in all the orphanages. But I think the sign above it is worse, “Remember, you have no parent.”

im having so MUCH F–erm—never mind

What smile officer? That was a grimace see. From you crushing my foot after I laughed at you falling over.
Laughing I mean… owwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the very words of my substitute teacher. either that or my mom without her coffee

People unhappy only please.

Rules are made to be broken.

Oh it seems some experts know China better than Chinese.
In my 20 years’ life I’ve never seen this kind of signs in my country.

Chinese rules on truth in advertising are very strict.

In Russia, fun is prohibited to have you!
