Whinger Log

Posted on March 15, 2010 by AHC McDonald

Here is the caller log from the interview the other day. What a bunch of whingers! (Not you Mez). I think they were missing the point that it should be funny. Ai YA! Rude Kiwis, Brits and South Africa ruining our community? Wot fuck? Difficult to find one to award the tshirt to. Will go with the 1975 but with mobile phones I think. I’m also adding this pic of Chinese graffiti at the Zoo, because no-one rang in to rant about foreigners graffitiing our precious Aussie Yuccas.

————————————————————————-

Perth is kind of like 1975..but with mobile phones.

Live is 2 short 2 sell green bananas. Shops that sell green bananas

Perth museum is hilarious. Looks like it was last updated BEFORE Perth airport was. Keith

‘Vibrations’, sex shop, charle’s st. North perth. Front window sign states; ‘discrete rear entry’. Can supply photo. Yvonne

I hate graffiti artists. They need a swift kick up the aerosol. Paul

The gum nut fountain gn kalamunda. Awful awful thing. Louise

The heinous display of tattoos on women armsegs or necks at mandurahs council pool!

The worst of perth is that we invented the first and worst light beer with swan gold. Scott

Colin Barnett s dewlap. Ruth

Shane mandurah i hate the councils of perth having sports events then not allowing any parking near the event only on that day

Hi Gillo Could you please ask Andrew to remove his sunglasses I cant see his eyes Thanks Mez

Signs in greengrocers and supermarkets for ‘lettuce’ and ‘fancy lettuce’. You just feel compelled to buy the later. Yvonne

The heinous statue of Sir John Curtin in front of the Freo Town Hall. Helen from Hammy hill

The airport (unfunny ranting contiues)

Worst thing about Perth? Too many rude South Africans Kiwis and British ruining our community thanks to the mining boom . Greg

Tailgaters are appalling in Perth.

I have trying to find public toilets with baby change facilities. Not sign posted, and often inadequate if there at all. Crappy job perth. Ha ha. Nikki

Don’t want to hear about it…

Posted on March 15, 2010 by AHC McDonald

We’ve already featured this ill conceived ad concept before in 2007. Every graphic designer or advertiser at some stage in their career will have the bright idea of making the product into someone’s head. Now an artliner has articulated the problem. From Brer Bento. I’m also adding a pic of my own to sweeten the post thinking that someone may find in this Bayswater sign some rich gravatar material.

Weekend Worstoff 99

Posted on March 13, 2010 by AHC McDonald

Here’s a pic of Gillo through the glass at the ABC. I don’t know if there’s a audio available. Apparently whingers called in all day. None of them likely to be funny. And the Bass Tard sent in this from Wellington Street. The Pedo. Must be one of those new small bars. And I like this which seemed to ban partying on this truck tailgate. Worst well.

Reticulated

Posted on March 12, 2010 by AHC McDonald

Another Perth favourite, the reticulated dustbowl. Another from North Perth via Pfortner. I’m glad we have strict gun laws here.

Cocos Got Back

Posted on March 12, 2010 by AHC McDonald

Some Cocos palms for you. Do not be distracted by the cyclist apparently wearing a heavy but cropped bearskin fur coat on a 37 degree day. Do not drop your eyes. Focus Cocos. There’s nothing to see lower down, stay on target.Do not under any circumstances look at the cyclist.  Don’t forget I’ll be on ABC Afternoon show with Gillo at 1pm today. I know she’s no Eoin Cameron ( aaaaarch puke) but unlike Eoin, she won’t be doing the same show she was doing 35 years ago.

Digit Dick

Posted on March 11, 2010 by AHC McDonald

From Skink, discovered in an online book store.  Skink sez

“Oh, do you know why they call me Digit?
It’s because I am only a midget
A digit is a finger or a toe,
And that’s how big Dick is, you know!”

Apart from the endless double entendres, inappropriate references to people with disabilities, and amusing misuse of words such as ‘gay’, which would have had a different meaning back in 1972, Digit Dick is chock full of staggering political incorrectness as he goes about his adventures and avoids the clutches of a scary aborigine called Wyalcatchem.

Life was just so much more innocent then, don’t you think? Yes, but a very tasty font don’t you think Skink? At least he’s not riding a blackboy.

Deploy Beverage Holders!

Posted on March 11, 2010 by AHC McDonald

Outrage Cohen asks if cars today have enough beverage holders. And wouldn’t Hahn Ice be a better choice? Or even Jack since they have the sticker. Byford.

The Boner Lisa

Posted on March 10, 2010 by AHC McDonald

The most amazing thing about this poster is  not how bad it is, although it certainly reeks, or that it has been defaced, because who wouldn’t?  The most interesting thing is that the graffiti has been just crossed out. Who would do this? Surely if Mr Penis himself saw this he would take it down, or at the very least obscure the defacement. Why would someone cross it out while leaving the words clearly legible? A mystery for the future Perth cultural scholars. I might have to add this to not worst. To have no idea that you are terrible, but to still have the kahunas to put yourself out there – that is the sort of person who succeeds. And you probably should make sure you include boozies in future works.

ABC Radio Interview Friday Gillian O’Shaughnessy

Posted on March 9, 2010 by AHC McDonald

I will be on ABC 720 on This Friday afernoon 1pm to talk worsts with Gillian O’. I can’t remember if she’s been slagged off here before? I see she’s a Dockers fan, so she must be an afficionado of the worst things in life. I will also be doing a talk for the Australian Graphic Design Association AGDA sometime soon too, so all you designers can get ready to pencil in a date.

I’m also adding this plea from Outrage Cohen to this post.

Who helps the kids of murdered Nepalese journalists by paying their school fees? You can!

Yes, it is that time of the year: an email begging you to buy raffle tickets in the Alliance’s Safety and Solidarity Fund.

A ticket in the raffle costs only $5 – and that goes a long way in Nepal.

You could win five luxurious nights at the Cable Beach Club, or a Nikon D90 camera, or shiraz that scored 96 points from James Halliday.

Go on: support press freedom in a place where they do it tough.

Send your money to my account (BSB 186-200, ACC 122341928, ACC name D and K
Cohen) and let me know your address so I can post you your tix.

Winners drawn in Sydney on April 30; more info here:

Please buy a ticket – I beg you!

Cheers,

The Cave of Creativity

Posted on March 9, 2010 by AHC McDonald

Seems that no stone has been left unturned in an effort to suggest that absolutely no creativity goes on here. Maybe there’s plenty of it happenin’, but I prefer to judge a book by its cover. Another lovely photo of Perth for the future to ponder, this time from G’Day from WA. Reminds me again of this. The high quality photos that are coming in are really inspiring.
