This QR code is on the van of a company that makes logos and badges for products.  I know this because I asked the driver, when he was talking about how awesome QR codes are.

NO!!!!!!

Because it’s CERTAINLY not for humans.

Behold the Tomb of the Unknown Person. This person had a name, but no one bothers to scan the code to find out what it was.

Submitter Comment: Unfortunately picture download is forbidden here, but this German company offers tombstones with QR codes.

Pretty awful, too…

Fred: Hey Jim, this QR code’s pretty ugly. What should we do about it?

Jim: Hmm, yeah you’re right. Just ghost it back to 10% opacity and put a big flower over it.

Fred: Ah, much better now! You’re a genius, Jim!

P.S. I really think Microsoft should be taking some cues from this. I see a new QR-enhanced Windows logo.

Hey look, Honey! Modern art! I know you don’t “get” it, That’s what the subway artist was going for.
