Drop to your knees and worship at the glory of this Aberdeen kebab shop’s ‘CGI’ sign

Worth every penny.

Rich Cooper

Have you ever seen anything so beautiful? So wondrous? So… absurd?

We thought the story that Newcastle Airport has starting selling doners would be the best piece of kebab news we’d hear this year, but how wrong we were.

When we think about the humble kebab shop, we think of plastic seats and plastic forks, elephant’s legs and cheesy chips, garlic sauce and a healthy dollop of chilli too.

The doner kebab is simple food: meat and salad in a pita. Nothing fancy, nothing showy, nothing over the top.

So where in the blue blazes the Bodrum Kebab House in Aberdeen pulled this sign from is an absolute mystery.

Get a load of that sign. @Tamarionette, the Twitter user who uploaded the video, refers to it as “CGI”. While this may not be exactly what is going on with this sign, it certainly sums up the grandeur and scale of it. This is truly the Hollywood movie of kebab shop signs.

It has got everything you could possibly want from a sign.

It has the name of the establishment.

It has a contact number.

It has visual depictions of the food they make and how they make it.

And, in case you were worried, a big fuck-off assurance of the restaurant’s authenticity.

Get us to Aberdeen, right this minute.
