Clip Art Shows Gun Violence Who’s Boss

The clip art above is from a promo flier for Bowling Against Bullets (.pdf), an anti-bullet event being held at Lucky Strike Lanes on Nov. 30. (Personally, wouldn’t Bowling Over Bullets better? Plus you’ve got the BOB acronym; it’s kind of perfect. Somebody get me a consulting gig.)

The $30 event is attempting to stop the violence; whether it will do that or not, I cannot say. I can say, though, that the clip art of literally bowling against bullets is one of the finest marketing uses of Adobe Illustrator I have seen in years. Do you think the pins will actually be painted up to look like bullets on the 30th?

Dress code will “strictly” be enforced on the 30th, which bans sports jerseys, baggy clothes and “MC Colors.” Right.

Clip Art Offers Belated Picks For Big Game

I didn’t know this before Saturday, but apparently blogs can be updated on the weekends! (I thought it was a limitation of the format that no weekend posts could be made.) And so, when I saw the Weekly Press‘ Super Bowl preview and found out I could update on the weekends, I sprung into action.

If you didn’t see it, either go and read the Saturday post or just read this summary: The Weekly Press ran a Super Bowl preview from 2003 (Panthers-Patriots) in the current issue. This is one of those rare media mistakes where you don’t really laugh — okay, you do — and you just wonder how in the hell it actually happened. (I cannot wait for the correction.) Anyway, while it’s still in the print copy, obviously, online the 2003 story has been removed. Here’s what it’s been replaced with:

To be fair, that clip art did preview the Super Bowl pretty well.
