The WTF Mac Store
August 25, 2006 by Vurdlak
David Horm sent this few weeks ago, but I noticed it in my mailbox just recently. David: "Here's a little conversation I had with my friend while walking pass this sign in Seattle:
Friend: What the F***, Mac Store?
Me: Yeah, there's always been a Mac store here.
Friend: No, that sign says "WTF Mac Store"
Me: No it doesn't, it says "The Mac Store"
...and so we stood there arguing for another 2 minutes about what the sign says. When he showed me how he read THE as WTF, I though it'd be a cool optical illusion you could show to your readers."
My question is: How do you see it? I had some troubles reading THE, since WTF was first variation I recognized. Jump inside this post to see outlined letters for both cases!

Interesting, now WTF do they sell at the Mac Store? Apple computers?
Definitely the WTF Mac Store! Made me laugh...!
duh, of couse they sell apple computers at the mac store
This is prettu cool
definitely WTF Mac Store - I'm glad you outlined "the", I couldn't even see it.
WTF would be right for new users trying to use the Mighty Mouse. :p
I originally opened this up thinking "WTF? This isn't an illusion.... just a dumb sign that says WTF Mac Store." This is great!
I see THE but then i realized i was sadly mistaken and it is WTF. I think The dogs on top of the cows are really humans dressed as rabbits.
Hey you have to get to look at the Mac store somehow :P
How do I post a new item? I can't find any place to join this blog.
Makes me wonder if "WTF" wasn't such a common term now days if we would have more easily seen "THE".
Cool! Now that's a funny illusion because it was clearly unintentional. No need for Photo Shop here.
Nice one. I love it.
hehe, took me awhile to see 'THE'.
Someone should send this into http://www.thisisbroken.com/
At first I read it as "the", then I looked at it again and saw only WTF and thought i must have misread it the first time because I couldn't see "the" again! So, is this store WTF or The Mac store??
That store looks disgusting.
ouch .. could never seen the "the"
intresting trick :D
I had the exact same reaction as Michelle. Saw THE on first view, but after reading the comment, could only see WTF. Weird.
Definitely The Mac Store. It wasn't until the letters were outlined that I could even see WTF.
Wow it took me forever to find the WTF. And yes, the mac store sells apple computers. Note to people considering buying an apple: I have an iMac G5 and I LOVE it. I can't stand windows now, because thats so good apple is.
Tellin it like it is. They keep on whining, reality keeps making them cry.
could you tell me what is WTF? please?
I work literally 5 blocks from this store, and I pass the sign every day on the bus, and never thought it said WTF. Weird.
Love my apple en WTF was The first I saw.
could you please tell me what means by WTF?
the mac store is pretty much the same thing as the apple store, but bot owned by apple.
the sell computers, and other apple products like ipods.
Definitely not enough separation between the top right of the T and the top left of the H. I saw the WTF immediately and took a minute to see where THE existed.
Uh, how hard would it be to post an adress so we could check out for ourselves?
Is it a dog or a cow? Moof! Moof! -- you'll have to be an old school Machead to get that
hee hee hee....
=^.^=
Now that's cool. Took me a few seconds. Yeah I see it both ways now. I seen WTF first though.
If I'm a creative viral marketing person employed by Apple, I call this a brilliant WIN!
never saw the 'THE' til you pointed it out
i get it!
My daughter set me straight on this - apparently MAC is a brand of makeup. If this was really an Apple Mac store, it would say so.
I love the WTF = THE translation, that's excellent!
pretty cool. i saw THE first and then after awhile saw WTF
i suppose i'm not geeky enough, i read it as THE
Ole, it really is an Apple computer store--no MAC makeup whatsoever ;) There's one in Portland too.
It was a WTF for me definitely.
ahhhh run away before boredom kills you ahhhhhhhhhh i saw the then wtf
WTF? MAC STORE?! haha. i like that 1
dude this is the most freakin coolest thing i have ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that's where i bought my first ipod...never noticed that the "the" could be read as "wtf." thats so cool!
wow i didn't even see the "the" in it, i could only see the "wtf"
That is baaaaaad publicity man
whoah that is baaaaaaaaad publicity man(soz if i hav alredy rote this, i wasnt sure if it workt or not)
oh my GOD that is hilarious!! I saw the WTF first, took me a while to see the THE!
