Conflict of Interest Tweaking the Design
posted by July 29 at 13:51 PM
onGiving the Ford Probe a run for its money as the worst-named anything ever, some folks are promoting the the worst-named event in Seattle: Methfest. Because nothing sounds more appealing than a bunch of greasy hipsters on meth. Here’s their poster:
Methfest’s poster is a riff on an old Hempfest poster—a poster I made in 2000 (the original was better, if I do say) that’s been butchered to promote, not legalizing pot, but smoking meth! At the bottom, it says, “Pissing off hippies since 2005.” Um, nice try, Methfest, but I’m not a hippie. And to show I’m not upset, here’s your poster!

"Herpes Hideaway"...cackle cackle...
Theirs is the misfortune of running in the den of theives in the linoleum square.
Just what the fuck is that you might ask...
it's where federal case meets the new third ,fourth, and seventeenth rheich.LOng live federal plans where you can get a job snitching and setting up on your friends and snooping and hacking in the library while making a big deal about pot.
Speaking as an official arbiter, Dominc, these aren't hipsters. They may be greasy, though.
This has to be a joke.
Hey -- how come no reporting on the shooting at the UU church in Knoxville that killed 2 and injured others? The guy who did it reportedly did it because the UUers are so liberal (of course, the a$$hole also had an ex-wife from the church). Maybe no reporting is a good thing; if this had happened at a Baptist church and the gunman had blamed all the crazy right-wingers, this would be plastered all over Fox, etc. It's not even on the Fox news site. This gunman attacked DURING A CHILDREN'S MUSICAL at the church. There's some nugget of hypocritical wisdom about the right wing and their love of family, blah blah blah. But I'm a lifetime UU and this is really upsetting.
Apparently it isn't a joke but the people who would attend are.
What amuses me is that these Meth promoters don't think they will be identified by authorities, just for showing up. Then again, Meth and intelligence don't seem to mix well...
Hippies?
Um, aren't they all like in their 50's and 60's now?
UU should welcome the shooting cause everything is always okay when you're a UU.
TwoDeadSluts...OneGoodFuck played my wedding.

Charles made a post about it yesterday morning.
Scroll, biatch.
Also, I find it ridiculous that they think the only people that have a problem with Meth are hippies. I have a problem with meth and I hate hippies too.
OMG, you guys! I am so excited because last time Two Dead Sluts were in town, I was totally sick and couldn't go! But now there back and OH MY GOD I cannot wait. Can you get tickets in advance?
Also! I am so high on meth that I forgot the form of their/there/they're I wanted to use! HAHAHAHA Aren't contractions hilarious?
Bugs! Under my skin!
...it's the end of the world as we know it...
This is a cry for help.
if these tweakers were on bikes, we could call it Critical Meth.
Will this be held in an apartment with blankets over the windows and lots of rank men trying to have sex with limp dicks while picking at thier skin and chewing thier tongues?
Crack-heads unite, you have nothing to lose but your chains!
sadly, that lineup is still way better than anything at Gay Pride...
Uh....yeah, they are serious...they are going to promoting meth use.
Parody folks. Whether or not its funny is another question.
hot tranny meth.
That sounds Familiar.
Ew. Even if it's parody, it's such a turnoff that I think I'd avoid those places even if I desperately wanted to fuck the bands playing those venues.
Jeremy, that's right up there with my "STD Holocaust for Native Americans" whereby I am giving out free anti-biotics to clear up STIs for homeless native americans.
if the poster is buggin ya, then stay away from the shows.
nuthin but noise, y'all!
Is Methfest going to be held right before or right after the next Critical Mass ride? Or will it be during the ride? After all, same people.
That poster, even if considered a parody, blows. On a lighter note, I know one of the bands playing. Young, naive kids with good metal riffs.
Meth fest is an experimental noise festival.
Well, I think it's fucking funny.
MethFest is a seattle institution by this point...this'll be what, the fourth one? i think...they've all been great, and if you have any interest in noise or grind or anything of the sort then MethFest will bhook you up with members of the local community.
also, since when is having a terrible shitty lofi aesthetic with little/no apparent artistic merit a bad thing?
HAHAHA, funny thing is, this fest is put on by 2 dudes who dont do drugs of anykind lol. They are only making fun of them and hempfest! It is halarious that all the idiots of the mainstream just fall in line with the other sheep...morons...this is an awesome fest. keep up the damning good work gents...and i dont think your that greasy...
How can people make fun of such a terrible problem in our inner cities? I've lost friends to this horrible drug and I don't find it funny one bit. If the promoters of this horrid excuse for entertainment think they are intelligent for creating this parody, they are sadly mistaken. I have half a mind to take this to the city council for indecency and being offense. I, as a member of the Seattle Cornish School of High Arts will be forming a protest of Methfest for the entirety of the festival. If you are interested in join me and spreading the word against meth or the parody of meth contact me @ abigalelovejoyforpeace(at)yahoo(dot)com
We'll show these "jokers" that we don't find their humor funny.
if you lost two friends to meth, maybe you should have picked better friends. they probably would have been at the fest and been sorely disappointed that it's actually about music.
what happened to the other half of your mind? meth?
Only a meth festival could feature a single-named performer called "Sean."
