* The famous "Ear Inn" by the [[BigApplesauce Hudson River]]. The neon sign originally said "BAR", but when it changed owners in the 70's, the new ones managed to avoid the red tape involved with changing the signage by painting over the arcs of the 'B' and it stayed that way since then.

** One 2000's teen magazine (possibly J-14?) had, as part of its "Embarassing Moments" section, a story where a reader was about to go off a diving board at her community swimming pool when she noticed that one of the little kids who was there earlier had peed right where she was going to jump. She considered saving up her money to buy a "Welcome to our OOL" sign for the pool.

* ''Series/TheElectricCompany2009'':
** In "Dirty Laundry", Manny uses a letter steeling gadget to letters from every sign in the neighborhood. For example, he changes "Lemonade Fountain" to "Lemonade Ountain".
** In "He Ain't Heavy, He's Just Frozen", Annie scrambles the word "Completed" and removes the "L" to make the only word the Electric Company can find is "Competed", that way Keith can remain immobile for a very long time. Not a very nice thing to do. Is it?



* In ''Series/TheElectricCompany2009'', one of the episodes is when Keith Watson ends up unable to move. It gets even worse. Annie Scrambler sabotages the Electric Company's plan to make the problem wear off, by scrambling the word, "Completed", and taking out the "L", so the only word they get is "Competed".
