The top picture is not a WTF. They printed it in a really big font, and as all british tourists know, shouted english is just as good as speaking a foreign language, and the natives always understand perfectly. The only way to improve it would have been something like:
CAN-O YOU READ-O AND UNDERSTAND-O THE ENGLISH-O? Maybe with some animated hand-waving somehow. |

I think NO is a more universal word... it should trigger common sense in people (when in doubt, click no).
For a better effect, I think some audio should be heard, Chris Tucker's voice like in Rush Hour: DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE WORDS THAT ARE COMING UP ON MY SCREEN? |
