While driving CTF and P1 up to their to their destination (see liveblog below) we came across this sign. As a lot of you probably remember from your College days, crossing the border between VT and NH was a near everyday occurrence. Call it nostalgia or blame Bruce Willis, I still get pretty pumped re-entering the Granite State, whether I've left it for a year or only 15 minutes (as was the case today).
Flashback a few weeks ago to a conversation AMDAL co-editor Scos and AMDAL bad-day-haver Block had via Gmail. We were discussing what to do with the new logo. A sticker was suggested to which I think we all agreed. But the problem was, how would anyone relate "AMDAL" to the actual website? Would this be some sort of guerrilla/viral marketing? Would it be a real-world meme? What is a meme anyways? And what does a sticker have to do with NH signs?
Enter the new idea for an AMDAL sticker: "Motherfucker!"*
Just imagine, you're doing the same drive I am and you come across the sign above, but below it in AMDAL neon colors would be "Motherfucker!" on a small but noticeable sticker below NH's slogan. Or you're on a subway platform and below the "Wall Street" you see "Motherfucker!" stamped onto it.
Sure it's NSFW as fuck. Obviously it has nothing to do with AMDAL. But hopefully it'll catch some eyes and maybe get people to start questioning where this foulness is coming from. Heck, we might even be able to introduce a new word to some impressionable kids:
"But Mom, I wanna see Ponyo Motherfucker!"
Ah, Bruce Willis, is there no state slogan you can't make extreme?
*Retroactive NSFW alert
Update - My brother said this about this post:
Joey: its stupid
and crass
and unnecessarily sensational
Joey's an idiot and used to be fat. He's skinny now but still an idiot.
Update 2: I'm not actually going to make these stickers so if you see them, it wasn't me. Feel free to throw an "MF" in your head when reading a street sign though. It's arguably better than talking to your imaginary friend, Karl.
