It's contradictory in that the metallic poll placed just in front of the entrance to the escape seems to prevent fat people from getting on to the escalator.

Maybe it's just font design. "Normal" vs. "bold."
- Typeface. Not font.
- It's not a fucking typeface, either.

Actually I thought of using "typeface" instead of "font." But then Aqua may be the only one who understands it. So I went with "font." It's like Apple's "Think Different" campaign. Pretty sure lots of folks at Apple and the ad agency knew that "Think Differently" is the grammatical choice, yet deliberately chose differently because they figured it's more easily understood by the majority.

The grammatical deviation was part of the message itself, whereas you just don't know the difference.

I'm scared
Coffee and leftover chili. (Aside to @George-K and @Jolly : with beans!)
Crapping in one's hand is not outside the scope of possibility.

You're supposed to drink it, not inject it directly into your skull.

If you're not going to do that, you might as well just sip flavored water and drive a Prius.

I think this is to prevent trolleys and carts, etc from using the escalators.
One of my best friends in Taiwan, her nickname is "Little Piggy" because she was kind of chubby as a kid. LOL
