Miss Lisa's Cat Sitting and Dog Walking

This is your average flyer, except for the illustration of the cat in the upper left corner. Here it is enlarged so you can see it better.

That's a creepy looking cat. If I were taking care of it, I would wonder if it were giving birth. Or taking a dump. Or both simultaneously. Or maybe it's just plotting my murder.

Dogwalking for Rainforests

I found this in the East Village. Dogwalking for Rainforests donates 30% of their profits to do-gooder organizations. We're going on vacation next week and we need someone to take care of our cats so we're giving the tree-hugging pet sitters a call.

Nichelle Pet Photographer

I'm so glad that I found this because every other pet photographer in town refused to work with my bat and elephant.

Mr. Fix It

Mike, a.k.a. Mr. Fix It, leaves no square inch unfilled in this flyer that he posted around the East Village. It's like the entire Yellow Pages crammed onto one page. And what wouldn't fit on side one spilled over to side two, necessitating that he tape these to the glass on bus shelters so that you can see both sides.
But what's still missing is that no job is too big or too small. And a coupon. And the logo needs to be bigger. In red.

Sale To Fund New Documentary

You won't be surprised to read that I found this in Williamsburg. Selling your furniture to pay for your film shows true dedication. The neighborhood will miss them when they're forced out by rising real estate prices and the Bugaboo Brigade.

HELL

I found this chunk of fire and brimstone on the sidewalk in The first part of the text explains how the Bible condemns homosexuality and the second part claims that by giving yourself over to Christ you will be saved and no longer gay.

This is exactly the wrong way to win people over. It's like if Revlon ran an ad that had UGLY as the headline (with Unattractive and You extending from the U and Y) with copy citing Revlon corporate literature that specifically forbids not wearing makeup as not only unsightly but also morally bereft. After setting up the problem, the solution would be a face full of Revlon products that would transform you into Halle Berry no matter how ghastly you look at the moment.

No More War

Insta-Protest is a site that makes left wing propaganda instantly downloadable to your printer. This poster is fitting for an endeavor with the goal of taking the work out of political activism. As if the solution to war is to just say no. We gave peace a chance - many chances - and war is still with us.

Bush & Hitler

Is this image comparing President Bush to Hitler? Or does it suggest that both unpopular world leaders are beholden to, or at least friendly with, this mysterious object?

Imperialism

This poem sounds like a spoof of a spoken word artist's first efforts. After writing this, the poet would address the issues of racism, capitalism, the police state and Mumia Abu-Jamal.

Euthanasia Nation

Some people work all their lives for their 15 minutes of fame and others have it thrust upon them while in a coma. I'm refering to Terri Schaivo who, at the time this was written, was enough of a media presence that only her first name was necessary.
