Trying to knock off a few more reader submissions. A nice one from Damien from the train, which suddenly appears to have gained a Scottish accent approaching Moount Lawley. Perhaps in honour of The Flying Scotsman? Thanks to Damo who is also promising to get a shot of Stephen Smith’s hair for us.

Another Eastern European submission from International Worster Bento. Yes Bento. The kids are very creepy.
And closer to home, Ben remembered Dongers of Wa Art and noted that students had made an addition to the Curtin Uni donger man.
Lauredhel at Hoyden about Town is not happy with The Western Suburbs Weekly running this dumb Asian accent [...]

I can forgive a lot of things, but a sign spelling fare Fayre is a step too far. Bookers Bourbon Bar, AKA Karawara Tavern. Apparently soon to be demolished and replaced with a wine bar. Or perhaps Olde Worlde Whyne Barre. This is the establishment that asked when the American students were arriving so they [...]

They’ll stone you when you’re trying to be so good
They’ll stone you just like they said they would
They’ll stone you when you’re trying to go home
They’ll stone you when you’re there all alone
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned Bob Dylan
Not to disparage Chappelli’s charity work, but does the man [...]

I’ve been waiting for this place in Inglewood to be converted into a vanished worst for a very long time. I originally chose it for that stupid Chineser font that gets used every time something Asian is advertised. Dial a chopstix? Ai Ya! But I really liked the old rotary dial phone graphic. A concept [...]

Was quite a good worst week this week, possibly highlighted by Skink’s amusing stoush with Howard “Riddance” Sattler on the Fairfax blog, with the moderator deleting both Skink AND Sattler at one stage. The post on The Fairfax Online experience will soon be the most read and most commented on in TWOP history, even more [...]

I sometimes wonder whether it is EVER possible to do something good with a dolphin, graphic design wise. This looks like an aquatic version of a dog covering a fresh turd with dirt. What is it about the dolphin that makes them impervious to good design or sculpture?

Isn’t “career” opportunity a little rich for motorcycle postie? I would have gone “job” opportunity myself, unless you are looking for a career path that climaxes with a [...]

Strange that the apostrophe police haven’t hit Natures Hideaway yet. It’s a pretty horrible sign apart from that. Maybe nature is hiding from this Elmar sign across the road. For some reason I always thought he was hacking away at a horse’s head until I took the photo and looked at it closely. He looks [...]

Clayderman isn’t even cold in his grave, in fact the c*nt isn’t even dead, and yet Andre Rieu is still insists on camping it up on his territory, ie elevator music. On what possible level is this sticker OK? Who could get away with this on their car? Koons? Rauschenberg? Pollock? Jake and Dinos [...]
