Everything is not ok.



I saw this earlier and thought it was completely stupid,
but then when I saw that it currently has the top spot in the people's design awards,
I was more than a little annoyed.

If everything was ok, there would be no need for putting up tape.
The fundamental purpose of caution tape is to tell you that everything is NOT ok within that area.

It is almost disrespectful, someone could have been seriously hurt or died there,
and you are trying to tell people "everything is ok" so they feel better about themselves?
You don't need to freak people out and put up tape saying someone died just to make them deliberately feel crappy,
but telling them everything is just wonderful seems equally counterproductive.

If everything is so ok, why the hell can't I go past this tape?!!!

Vote for DesignObserver.com Way more valuable than yellow tape that lies.
