I stopped for a drink at the Red and Black Cafe yesterday and had to snap a photo of their newest response to the kicking out a cop incident: Crafting some of their copious hate mail into neon spokecards. Featuring Bruce Springsteen. Only $1 each!

More hilarious hate mail below the cut.

Sarah Shay Mirk reported on transportation, sex and gender issues, and politics at the Mercury from 2008-2013. They have gone on to make many things, including countless comics and several books.

  1. I love the idea of telling someone you live next door to them whilst also trying to be anonymous.

    (or rather, being some bible-bashing blowhard from Florida lying through their teeth, because that’s what Jesus would do)

  2. I thought kicking out the cop was way out of line, and I will never give them a dime of my money … but I have to admit, this is pretty funny.

  3. @ haydn: what’s an “anarcist”?

    i think they meant to write “analcyst”. ie: pain in the ass. ’cause god and his minions hates the commies, you know.

  4. I get “you’re a gross communist wasting human money!” messages all the time at work (university research!!). I save them. This is a fun use for these goofy messages.

  5. Damn! and I always thought they just lacked a sense of humour and joy of life.

    My favorite was them, not allowing the Mercury in the place because the ads exploited the sex workers.
