Clint Black's font/kerning disaster

So, Country music guy Clint Black is performing locally. One of the venue’s signs caught my eye. They chose the wrong font (Capital “I” is just a straight vertical line) and the kerning is bad (The “L” and “I” are too close).

I pointed the sign out to my gf and she cracked up. It appears to be advertising CUNT BLACK.:eek:

Maybe it’s not the kind of show you think it is.

Did you take a picture and send it to FailBlog? :smiley:

I just bought STOVE BLACK to refurbish a stove and keep it from rusting. Just sayin’.

Time to dig out this photograph I took in Australia 10 years ago.

When I was a kid someone had moved the L and the I close together on a movie marquee. Thus the sign had the movie name, and then “STARRING CUNT AND BURT”. As a ~12 year old, I found that pretty funny. Good thing I matured.

I remember reading a bit about how comic book writers were told never to name a character Clint, because the lettering was always uppercase, the printing was cheaply done, and it was all too easy for the L and the I to become connected into a U.

The same was also true for the nickname “FLICK”.

I had an Archie comic where they were talking about watching a “science flick”. I thought it was always good for a chuckle when I was younger and immaturer.

We used to alter the lettering on the tubes of Flicks candy all the time.

What’s this talk about being younger and immature and finding it funny then? It’s still funny now! :smiley:

And farts. Farts are always funny.

You may enjoy this classic.

Once you go Black…

When I was a kid there was a series of advertising billboards put up along the highways here for a pest-extermination company called “Flick”. The ads were a big picture of an insect or spider and the company name in large red capital letters.

Nothing funnier than seeing a sign in the distance that comprises of a giant funnel-web spider and the word “FUCK” next to it. :smiley:

“Australians go crazy for Nads!” Hee hee hee. :smiley:

Is there a greasemonkey font script thingy we can use to do a work around in the BBQ Pit and run around calling everyone Clint?

Nothing brightens a winter night like a good fuckering.

OH my!

:smiley: The name got lots of laughs around here. One of the TV sports shows decided to get themselves a horse and rename it “Nads” for a race, just to get a bunch of over excited people screaming “Go Nads!”

Love.

My dad bought some of those. At least I think that’s what he was calling them while decorating the house.
