A Pamphlet I Spotted at City Hall

"TOGETHER WE CAN CONTROL RATS"

Cool! I wanna control the back legs!

Damn Local Kids

I must not be that old yet, because I still found this funny (spotted in Maplewood, NJ):

Quite Possibly The Very Worst Comic Strip I've Ever Read

I was reading the comics section of The Washington Post and happened upon this bad boy:

Reply All, by Washington native Donna A. Lewis, is possibly the lamest, ugliest, least funny and most poorly designed strip I have ever had the misfortune to drag my precious eyeballs across. It looks like somebody converted some Cathy comic strips into Powerpoint clipart, sapped them of whatever tiny wit they had to begin with, and went butt nuts with the paint bucket tool.

*Sidenote: There are artists who actually use lame clipart for comic effect. This one simply cannot draw.

Take a look at the comic's official website. The first thing they punch you in the eye with is COMIC SANS. I defy you to go through her archives and find a single strip that's funny. Go ahead. I'll wait.

Am I being sexist because the author is a woman? I don't think so. Because I can name other brilliant female cartoonists: Lynda Barry, Lynn Johnston (For Better Or Worse), Jan Eliot (Stone Soup), The Pajama Diaries' Terri Libenson, Cathy Guisewite- okay, they're not all brilliant, but still. And in Topless Robot's "10 Newspaper Comic Strips That Need To Fucking End," the majority of those comic creators are men. So don't think you can get away with peddling crap just because you're a female, Donna, and just own up to the fact that your lazy eyesore digital scribblings aren't up to scratch.

Ziggy out.

Well, Shoot. Now I Wish I Had Rats.

Spotted at Home Depot, a trap that looks absolutely horrifying. And admittedly awesome.

An Open Invitation To Hooters To Just Come Off It Already

Hey Hooters

You're not fooling anybody, you know. This whole "we have a wholesome girls-next-door" image is a huge vatful of horseshit. You should just admit that you're selling fried food served with tits.


"Oh, we're just a chicken wing restaurant named after owls, and you're the one with the dirty mind." Right. That's why nighttime strippers work your afternoon shifts. That's why your commercials feature girls jumping up and down. That's why you had one of your waitresses appear on a news program to show this skill (I am so embarrassed for that female host):



Who are you trying to fool exactly? The mothers of teenage boys who are begging them to take them there? Your local city council who would otherwise outlaw strip clubs from the strip mall? The girls themselves? Because I'm pretty sure they're willingly wearing tank tops and panty hose with Keds and not thinking that's some random arbitrary dress code.


It's time you stopped pretending to be a mainstream brand and embrace the fact that you're peddling low-rent semi-porn. Pretty much the exact opposite of what GoDaddy.com has been doing.

Something I Will Mention That Will Start Bothering You, Too

That gap of blue space in front of the word "Rangers" in the New York Rangers logo. Unacceptable.


Look at it.

Here's the older logo from '96, which was better and worse:
