Get Yer Red & Black Hate Mail Spokecards!

Posted by Sarah Mirk on Fri, Aug 20, 2010 at 11:29 AM

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.

That last spoke card missed a great opportunity to make a witty acrostic. Unless CALGUP is a word that I've never heard of.

@Graham - You could rearrange them to spell CUP GAL. That's a pretty nasty mental image. :)

Springsteen's an anarchistic hero of commies - Am I reading that right?

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)

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.

I love their sandwiches. I'm going to have to go there soon to partake in the devil inspired rebellion soon.

@ 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.

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.

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.
