Well this gives the overwhelming impression of a child stuck up a bear’s arse. There’s not really any other interpretation. And if it didn’t, it’s still shithouse graphic design. If the child is supposed to be carrying a giant teddy, why are they scaled down so they don’t even realistically fit the train seat? Hideous, bad, ill conceived and…a child up a bear’s arse for fuck sake.

The Worst of Perth 
…if you go down to the show today you’re sure of a big surprise,
your head will get shoved up a bear’s behind,
which is sure to bring tears to his eyes…

I filed this for today’s Listening Post, the POST’s page 4 column.
This is so good I knew TWOP would be on the trail.
I did get comment from an award-winning graphic designer, though.

There was a Serif function on at the Rosemount last night. I was thinking Typographers, but I guess it could have been a Graphic Designer awards night.
I didn’t go in though. I refuse to attend venues that don’t scan my i.d and take my fingerprints on entry.

Great rotto bloggo. Better than Jesper’s complaints – he didn’t even toss his cookies, he just didn’t like the view of the water from the ferry.
So close to 9/11 as well. Was it really a seagull that swooped & stole the chip? or was it nanny state anti obesity campaigners.

PL I adore the idea of health campaigners donning seagull costumes and crash tackling people as they leave fast food outlets. Or crow outfits where they swoop down out of trees plucking buckets of chips from unsuspecting fat folk. That has got to be a Chaser skit in the making.

One hopes said campaigners have a valid Working with Children Card to protect them from the types of allegations which Sattler gets his gratification from – he’s as bad as the alleged offenders the way he is so obsessive on the subject.

Maybe so, but some of self-obsession by the likes of Sattler and Hetty Johnston (whose senate campaign was bankrolled by the Porn industry) to illustrates they are developing the same traits as the offenders they wish to criticise. In fact they do their cause more harm than good – especially in regards to the current kerfuffle in NSW.

This transperth “child stuck up a bear’s arse or vagina” poster is just another example of shit advertising which comes out of Perth.
Those wanker ad agencies in West Perth get paid a fortune and then churn out shit like this. They continue to do so as the client often doesn’t feel sufficiently qualified to comment.
There’s heaps of these quality offerings on TV, too. Like the Patty Chong leather sofa ad where her head gets cut off (in a fashion) through poor framing of the camera. They had alllll that time to get it right but didn’t or couldn’t. Time to play: spot the locally made advertisement.
