  1. These fliers are horrible. There are so many things wrong with it I don’t even know where to begin.

    My personal biggest pet peeve is with the crossed o’s.

    You cross zeros, not o’s.

    Fucking dumb-asses. Get one of the under-employed creative class people hanging out at Muddy Waters to design your next flier.

  2. Damn it, I’m going to have to take over the Black Rose on some night, and teach a class on aesthetics. Shit like this can not be allowed to stand.

I know you’ve read this, unless you’re still in the middle of casting your wickan spells on all of us. You still working on the potion that renders Tasers useless so you can someday avoid your third dose?

  4. So i see everyone here’s an instant “flyer critique”. Nice. And a good method to try & detract attention from the very POINT of the flyer.
    Really, what could be more cowardly?
