Worst Flier of the Week Vol. 8
It's time for a new installment of the Beehive feature local promoters hate most -- Worst Flier of the Week. This week I pulled four fliers out of Post No Bills that straight up made me dizzy. Look below and tell us what you think is the worst.
If your flier is on the list, don't get all mad at me. Consider hiring some better graphic designers.
I'm not trying to campaign here, but I'd like to state once again my HATE for animated .gifs. The one directly above is a 1.5 MB flashing headache. It should come with Excedrin.

First one reminds me of a color palette I'd see on a fanny pack in the early 90's.

Gotta go with the last one. The pokemon inducing seizure just kills me.

I'm not real sure that having a picture of you DJ flipping people off is a great way to promote your business. I know I wouldn't go just because of that.
And I'm confused. Is Ali G going to be at Palomino's? the Ali-G??? From The Ali G Show?
But I think the kicker is that first one. Talk about not being able to read something...
I'm not a graphic designer (well not professionally anyway) but I think I've got better command of the CS3 than that guy does.
Oh, and Oz, there's starting to be a big hub bub about that video of the kid coming from the dentist...

First one looks like a spotted yellow easter egg blew up all over

the last one should come with a warning: may cause seizures.

I like the one with DJ giving us the finger. It's honest, up front. They don't wait until you get there to let you say, "eff you!" I like that kind of honesty.

Epileptics should not view any of those fliers.

#1 & #3 are pretty much a tie for me. If I cant gather what they're trying to sell at a glance, I usually don't read the fine print (#1) as far as #3, all "eff you" comments aside...whats with the ultra fine print and pasting the same flier upside down underneath itself?
As far as animated gifs, I've got a little more of a tolerance for those...a friend of the band keeps making them and sending them to me (usually flashing versions of the fliers I make) Check out the one on our page right now...I claim no responsibility for any seizures that it causes.
Oh, and I'm working on a special worst flier ever just for you Mike...I promise ultimate douchebaggery...coming soon...

@ Dave - I'm not sure they are invited but special guest appearances are never unheard of. Just make sure you have a video camera present.

Can I Say F*** DJ JB!!!

@Dave - I specifically uninvited FPD for my gig...I hope they don't decide to crash it; especially since i promised my audience a "Fresno PD Head Punching Free" night of music...

Another warning that should be placed on poster #4: do not look at this poster while hungover...I've got to run to the bathroom.

@Floyd: Yes, I remember that flier with fond memories. I think I may take things a slightly different direction...
Posted by: Tweed at February 17, 2009 2:57 PM
The first one is definately the worse...i'm not that picky but you can't even read it. I like the easter egg comment...

I love all these comments for worst flier of the week. Looks like DJ JB has his critics who are not happy about him spinning!
