Wonder If They Painted Each Wire Individually

Ah, the wild camouflaging Wire Tangle. I thought they’d gone extinct. – Ms. Fix-It

Seems to be a bundle of CAT5 Notworking cables.
Coaxial… also notworking.
Ceiling Cat is wiring you!

Or, colored wires for downstream and black for upstream. This dude got it covered!
Every time I read that comment I hear David Attenborough’s voice in my head.
They didn’t even bother to paint the pattern!! Now I can see all the wires!
color blindness test for commercial electricians
It’s a pack of those rarely seen cameleon wires
These would be so much better without Ms. Fix-It’s commentary.
Blaspheme!
I haven’t seen a building with worms this bad in years.
This blows…
Terrible example of triumph of content over the form.
It’s not even funny anymore.
“What do you mean a bunch of wires are showing, Boss? I can ony see 4.”
Fail. Even conduit looks better than this.
On the other hand, it’s fitting that the EXIT sign is right next to this setup. All the technicians that did this are so bad, they were fired and can’t get an IT job now. They are Ex-IT.
I can see clearly now the wire’s gone…Oh wait, no it isn’t, that’s just the building’s underarm hair.
Nobody would find out that there’s serious hacking being done behind this door!
Interestingly, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this exact painted wire bundle. If it’s not it, it looks just like the big wire bundle in the first floor of the Eisenhower Old Executive Office Building in DC.
Confirmed, that is inside the old Exec Office Building at the White House. They’ve been modernizing it for decades now, so that particular stretch of the building may have been updated to remove that eyesore just recently but it really did look that bad.
I knew I recognized it. Wiring that bad has a way of sticking in your memory.
Yes, that sort of wiring definitely sticks in the memory. I knew where it was as soon as I saw it. And it may still take years for the renovations to get to that part of the building. At least we know where the President’s aides have gotten their inspiration for the last few decades.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day this room will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all wires are created equal.”
I have a dream toady.
I have a dream that wires will one day exist in a room where they will not be judged by the color of their casing but by the content of their transmissions.
I have a dream today.
That not just white wires will be painted to match the room, leaving black wires to stand out separate and surely not equal.
I have a dream today.
I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that you have any idea how offensive your comment is.
I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that your not some one with a stick so far up his ass that he can’t find humor in life.
I was going to ask if the unpainted wires are newcomers, or just making an equal opportunity statement.
Haha
The illusion is stunning!
It is, in fact, the Old Executive Office building (Eisenhower building) in Washington, D.C. I laughed every time it was “painting season” . . .
Paint what? All I can see is a pink and white wall, and two or three black wires.
You conduit!
I see what you’re painting there.
sadly, the US Navy does this sort of thing regularly.
Paint by numbers leaves something to be desired.
Can’t you tell? That’s Cordthulhu’s left tentacle!
Eventually, even despite his best efforts, the other tennants in the apartment block realized Evan was the one tapping their phones.
When will they learn? To stop network intruders, close the Windows.
I think they took masking their IP Address a bit too literally. …And those few ninja cables really need to work on their act.
In spite of their best camouflage efforts, the black ones gave their position away.
Yes, Mr. Code Enforcement Inspector, while I do see your point; however, do I get bonus points for the conspicuous albeit unlit EXIT sign.

Hey painter dude! You missed a spot!
This is actually from part of the White House complex…no joke, third floor Old Executive Office Building…about a hundred yards from the Oval Office. I used to show folks this all the time when they’d visit DC.
This is why I love old buildings.
I wonder if the wires were first black then painted white and pink.
Jumpin Jeesus! That’s a lot of internets!
