The Meat Cake

Posted on March 25, 2010 by AHC McDonald

And if you can’t criticise the font, they’ll go all kerning on your arse. From Peter J Nicol. This is so bad it must surely be deliberate, but “meat cake“? Kern it damn you! Brisbane Street Northbridge.

Form and Obsession

Posted on March 24, 2010 by AHC McDonald

In every work of art the subject is primordial, whether the artist knows it or not. The measure of the formal qualities is only a sign of the measure of the artist’s obsession with his subject; the form is always in proportion to the obsession. Alberto Giacometti

Ham&Eggs saw this near the Pemberton Resource Centre, sent it to Lovely Lentilla who sent it here. Bento saw a the piper in South Australia and without middleman sent it here. Notice that neither took an upskirt shot. The Pemberton one almost has a simple elegance out there in the bush. I don’t entirely dislike it. The bagpiper, not so, although there is some palm frond and glass brick action.

The love that dare not bark its name

Posted on March 23, 2010 by AHC McDonald

WAtching saw this in Willagee. Is it Michael Jackson again or is it closer to THIS?

And I forgot to post this worst from Outrage.  See 1:32 in.

Finger to Lesmurdie

Posted on March 22, 2010 by AHC McDonald

From new submitter Joshua from new worst location Lesmurdie. I don’t think I’ve posted from there before have I? Only just thought what a stupid name for a suburb. Isn’t it a brand of toilet? What else to do while waiting for the egregiously cunctatious bus service in lesmurdie but chip away at the paintwork? Looks like it might have taken a few months of work.I will be doing a fucking REIWA property management course all week, so might be a little slow with despamming or moderating comments.

Weekend Worstoff 100

Posted on March 20, 2010 by AHC McDonald

My sister is off to India. This pic is on the hotel’s website. Maybe “hose & scrotum” tourism is bigger over there? And Outrage Cohen, fresh from apprehending criminals, objects to being turned on erotically by Jesus’ over buffed upper body. Those lash marks just bring out the upper arm muscles too much. I hear you Outrage. Do they have a Mary with massive boozies? This is a Jehova’s Witness Jesus. Maybe theirs work out more? And right after he was sexed up by Jesus, Outrage Cohen was in turn frightened by The Shed’s “Tayto”. Was this the same Shed that had the logo of the drunk half deflated soccer ball sucking off South Australia?And Bento saw the crappiest way of writing “creative” on Newcastle Street. Does it even say creative. Crate V? Or is it “crave”. That doesn’t work either. How would the 8 fit into crave? They need some lessons from bogan licence plates.

Purity of Essence

Posted on March 19, 2010 by AHC McDonald

Baravan afficionado Rolly maintains that this picture shows the essence of the City of Stirling.While Paracleet claims this sign is the essence of the City of Perth. And WAtching asserts that this is the essence of the Town of Vincent. Purity of Essence must preserve our vital bodily fluids in our vibrancy ravaged boroughs.

Burnt Spoon

Posted on March 18, 2010 by AHC McDonald

Vegan can’t seem to take anything from this Gosnells shopping centre sculpture other than it represents a burnt spoon. As a tribute to hash and heroin roasters of the Gosnells area it works well. Wait is it a burnt sperm? Somewhat insane, but has a certain compelling effect. Why it is in the Coles carpark is another matter. Didn’t stop to check if you could see up the dress Vegan? No matter. Excellent worsting anyway.

Fang-ed Hooves

Posted on March 17, 2010 by AHC McDonald

The Bass tard asks if it is time for this to go. Commuters have been passing it by for what at least a decade? Are they stil moved by the fight between good and evil? Is this now a worst? Was it ever anything else. Bass tard sez…
…a befuddling mural, at the Moore St railway crossing in Perth between McIver & Perth stations, depicting an angel and a demon engaged in battle upon fanged steeds. It’s been there since I was a little tacker catching the train to Leederville TAFE from Bassendean but  I’ve never been able to figure out the symbolism. It also seems unfinished (the ‘writing’ at the top not completed filled in) but it was always there so always meant Perth to me. But perhaps that’s what Perth is: confusing and seemingly incomplete.

I’m thinking that it’s less worst than bare brick but maybe it’s time to go. But being Perth, you’d know that something worse would go up instead. By the way, is that Lord Gaga Luke Steele  on the white?

Slaughter of the Cocos

Posted on March 16, 2010 by AHC McDonald

This time it’s personal. Is there a facebook group “How can the Tree Man claim to be a tree lover when he’s got fucking Cocos Palms in his own garden. Bento saw this sight to warm the cockles of all true Cocos haters. Tree Man. Deal with your Cocos and THEN come back and tell us what trees should stay or go. And stay dead this time.

Slam a Jesus down fast for a hard earned thirst…

Posted on March 16, 2010 by AHC McDonald

And Jesus is flouride treated too. Christians can always find a new level of risible. Came across an ad for a local group with US affiliations that read “Poking holes in the darkness so Jesus’ light can shine through.” This one from Outrage Cohen.
