Kids in the Hall – Car F•ckers
The Kids opened last year’s tour with this video.
Elizabeth II is, among other things, head of state and Queen of Canada, though she tends to stay occupied with her corgis and trying to make sure her consort doesn’t say anything hilariously awful.
While there’s some debate in Canada on whether or not to keep the monarchy, it’s not as prominent or divisive as in other Commonwealth realms, like it’s been in Australia. Canadians are pretty evenly divided on the issue, which they don’t seem to think is really that important anyway.
You are posting things about Canada that I have not been exposed to.

The Logo that Fucks
Years ago, I was working for a software company, doing their graphics. Then one day they asked me for a new company logo and arranged a meeting with all the partners and coders.
We begin to talk, i was asking them questions to get what they have in their minds.
ME- Would you like it to be a contemporary, fresh look or classic and a company that has roots
THEM- We must look young and fresh but classic and rooted at the same time
ME- But it will make the logo to look neither one of them
And I began to explain them the design process and importance of making a choice and they told me something. And the speech went on for an hour. Everyone had different ideas in their minds and they want all of them inside a logo. After all the pointless speech, one of the partners stood up and came near me.
HIM- Look, forget all of this. I’m telling you the idea. Makes a logo that fucks.
ME- Fucks?
HIM- Fucks everyone who looks at it.
ME- ….
HIM- Like Microsoft’s
ME- …. Ok, I will try and come up with sketches
Watch out for the gays
We were building a website for a client that has a preschool and sells curriculum. Just before we went live, they called up and asked us to remove the word “school” from all the page titles and URLs. I asked why. They responded:
“We heard if the gays find out we have a preschool, they can force us to teach the children to be gay. We think its safest if nobody can see that we’re a school. And we don’t want to come up on any Google searches dealing with ‘school.’”

I knew I liked your work from the moment I saw your logo. So we need a logo, can we just use yours, but replace your company name with ours?

Logo Design
“We have decided not to use any of the concepts you have proposed. Instead, we farmed this out to our creative network, and have decided to use a rotating set of 50 different clip-art images as our logo.”
A mess only PJ Burton can make – stage floor of Kelly Hughes Live! Rocks after PJ’s oddball skit. Still can’t figure out the significance of the whole wheat bread and lettuce.
