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:
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.
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.
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.
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!”
