The Internationale.
I’m not sure there isn’t a spelling mistake with that last word, but in any case, I was sent this submission, ostensibly for a new category “worst pay”, from the Australian Services Union who are aiming to increase community service workers’ (mental health/domestic violence/legal centres/financial counseling/homeless) salaries up from an average of about $35,000.
This is a shot of one of the offending offices where they will be demonstrating tomorrow.
I say yeah, workers flag and all that, and the pay does seem pathetically low, but as The Worst of Perth, I’m more outraged by the use of that fucking Papyrus font and the logo. Are the clients supposed to be brown stains to be wiped up by the absorbent paper towel of counselling? And if Ruah is an ancient Hebrew word, isn’t an Egyptian font a little in bad taste, what with the Pharoah and all that? What’s wrong with Comic sans? In any case, support the workers by either blowing your horn as you go by, or sending in any spare fonts or logos you might have. A shower of frogs on their bosses and the State Government, ie, to each according to their needs.

I’m not too keen on the sewage logo. Increase their pay you measly bosses!!

Ha, cybill, you’re right – little bits of poo floating down a river.

Perhaps the ‘Western Force’ can change their name to The Western Ruah?

The sign lacks verisimilitude. They need to stain it with cold tea.

Yes , here at Macca’s bank you used to have to watch Al ; silent as death he’d creep up on you and next thing you’re doubled up in pain from his squirrel grip. What he didn’t do for the politics of envy. You poor bastards are squealing about the cost of fuel and Al is a thousand miles above it. After all how much is a MBA from Harvard worth. Deserves to be knighted for his services to ticket clipping. How much wonga will Bob Carr get when he waltzes out the door.

I used to work for this mob. Pay was crap, but we did get a company vehicle and salary packaging. The organisation actually has its roots in the Catholic Church, in particular the Sisters of Mercy – Say no more!
The 5 floating poos actually represent the five core values of the organisation. I’ll let TWOP contributors guess what they might be.

Err biodegradibility, odorosity, floatability, splashiness…Can’t think of the other. If you’re going through the back catalogues Shazza, you will be quite a while. The Cyrenian House logo is one of my favourites. It shows someone doing the 5 poos.
