News / Cops Not Exactly Imaginative

Posted by Matt Davis on Mon, Apr 6, 2009 at 11:00 AM

These were being distributed downtown on the weekend. While I understand the frustration the creators are evidently feeling, I can't help but be disappointed with the lack of creativity. Swastikas on their heads? "Revolutions don't happen by themselves?" No. They require energy, coordination, and presumably, the ability to communicate to the masses without losing their interest. Otherwise, they're not revolutions. They're just annoyances. And unfortunately, annoyances often do happen by themselves:

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.

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.

Flier and myspace page courtesy of Clifton Brooks. Obviously produced on the computer in his mom's basement.

Come on, Clifton...errrr...Damos! How 'bout an angry response to all the people knocking your shitty, pointless work. 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?

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?
