Here is something you don’t see often, a parody warning sticker. The original warning sticker is stuck on nearly every metro door on the Paris metro, the parody version is harder to find. First of all we have the original warning sticker:
The sticker reads:
“Attention!: Ne mets pas tes mains sur la porte: tu risques de te faire pincer tres fort”
And in English (translated badly by myself):
“Danger! Do not trap your hands on the door: you risk being crushed strongly”
Clearly, this little sticker warns against putting your hands in the door. Luckly for you the pink rabbit has injured his or her hands to prove the inherent danger that the doors provide.
Other than doors the Paris metro also has a lot of adverts, some clever people have parodied the above sticker and put the pink rabbit in another dangerous situation (one which we all constantly face):

The caption reads
“Attention! ne mets pas tes yeux sur les pubs: tu risques de te faire manipuler tres fort”
Or translated into English:
“Danger! do not put your eyes on the adverts: you risk being strongly manipulated”
The only remaining question is if more anti-advertisement advertisements should be introduced…..
