Marina Mall have some new messages plastered on their garbage bins but they make absolutely no sense.
update: According to a source I found online…
Cockroaches don’t live long enough to develop cancer (source)
So the above message is not true and as one reader pointed out, it leads us to believe that there are a lot of cockroaches running around Marina Mall.

mark i guess its because many pepole dont bother to throw there cigarets in the garbage and they usually throw it in the floor
{the cockroaches are getting cancer}
loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
yeah but what do cockroaches have to do with it?
also just did a quick google and turns out cockroaches don’t live long enough to develop cancer so it really doesn’t make sense now.

i dunno, loooooool
They were just trying to be light hearted !!
And they said cigarette buds instead of butts cuz butts 3eeb 3indina !!
hehe
Save the Cockroaches !!
Or, are they trying to say that the mall has a lot of cockroaches?
Oh, and…don’t throw your cigarette “BUDS”… (what dumb ass approved these stickers?)
dotone good point, it does give the impression the mall has a lot of cockroaches
I think this was intended for humor purposes. It’s like if you don’t care about other people then for the cockroaches.
Do you think cockroaches is a metaphore for the guys who spike their hair up and go to marina to giz?
The Stallion,
yeah i think so
mark, whats the {6.5} ???
what angelo said! i think it’s meant to be funny.
lol@stallion!
But then if we don’t throw them on the floor and actually put them in the garbage cans, what’s the chances of the rubbish already in the bins catching fire and then destroying the whole mall…!!!
cockroaches can survive radiation
Cockroaches can survive headless!! That makes no sense! Marina mall is currently filled with cockroaches!
Save the Cockroach, Save the World.
LOL what the hell?
hehe
It’s meant to be funny. They wanna ask people to stop throwing the butts on the floor, and thought that would be a funny catchy way of putting it. You know, instead of the typical “PLEASE DO NOT” signs that everyone ignores.
But I guess it isn’t much of a succes, since not everyone is getting it or thinking it’s funny.
I mean, seriously people, I hardly think the point is to advertise the abundancy of roaches in Marina mall:) At least I hope not!!
there was like another sign that said something like “you will die in 20 seconds” or something. i should have taken a picture of that to.
lol@ Jacqui with heroes refrence.
the roaches can survive a little smoke.
infact where theres smoke.. theres a “roach” !!
LOL
its buts ;p not butts!
ananyah it is “butt” where I come from. .

never heard of BUD or BUT
looooooool!!!
what does it say in Arabic btw??
makes a lot of sense to me…. being a graduate of fine arts major in advertising…. except for the spelling of “buds”…
mark…. wers ur sense of humor….. 😛 peace out man!!!
I heartily approve this pro-raoch campaign. Our chitin comrades deserve more positive attention.
Mark! wheres ur sense of humour ! Its just a joke. They don’t want people throwin arnd their cigarette butts arnd !
Piyush i do have a sense of humor but what they have on the garbage bins isn’t funny, its lame and doesn’t make sense lol
i think you guys are taking it way too seriously, at least they are trying.. to me it made perfect sense that the sole reason was to put it in a humorous way.. and i wont lie.. i did smile to it and thought it was original.. don’t make too much of a big deal out of it.
I thought it was a joke. Reasonably funny too. Obviously, these things can backfire in this part of the world as people seem to take things literally. Must say, I was surprised at Mark. He even researched it…now that is geeky!
well i was just fucking around also lol
My girlfriend has a shirt that says that, but they say “butts” instead of buds.
Here is also an online image of it:

wow, thats one flat shirt..
lol..that was a picture of the “wall sign” version of it which you can stick on the walls of your room.
It was not suppose to be taken literally. It is a bit of a joke. It is trying to imply that when you throw butts on the floor, cockroaches may smoke it..and then get cancer….
