101 Ways to Make Everybody’s Day Weirder

This article was written for Intermittens 3: Weirdness (edited by Rev. Whats-His-Name). It was a collaborative work by the incomprehensible spags at peedy dotcom.

We found it was challenging to come up with 101 amusing things without resorting to “101 ways to appear mentally unstable”, or “101 ways to make everybody avoid you forever”.

Some were too good not to include though.

101 Ways to Make Everybody’s Day Weirder

Corporations = People!

By now, you’ve probably already flipped out about the corporate personhood debate. Earlier this week, the Supreme Court ruled that compromising the electoral process by stuffing it full of dolla dolla bills is a form of expression, and that corporations (whose ability to fuck up America eclipses the action potential of any individual citizen) are protected under the first amendment.

Don’t get me wrong, I think free speech is the bee’s knees. I may disagree with every idiotic thing you spags say, but I’ll defend to my death your right to say it. That being said, do corporations deserve these rights too?

If they were human beings, I’d totally be defending their right to spend their resources compromising political interests. But they’re not people. They’re constructs, collaborative fictions which we created. They don’t get to vote. They can’t serve in the military. We can’t put them in jail when they break the law. They’re not people, I don’t see why they should get the same rights as we mere mortals.

I can’t just sit still while I’m so pissed off. So I made these posters.

Posters, in no particular order:

A few POSTERGASMs under the heading “Disinfomercials”:

23 Things to Amuse Yourself While You Wait

23thingswhileuwaitHere’s a pamphlet you can print and distribute. It contains renegade thoughts about robots, cabbages, and the number 23 (which is a lie).

It is specifically designed for places where people are waiting for something. They might be in a bus station, on a train, waiting in line, or sitting in a doctor’s office. In these situations, your audience is probably bored, looking around for something interesting to look at while they wait.

Postergasm Collection: Volume Butts

posters_buttsVolume Butts is the fourth collection in the POSTERGASM series.

It was hastily thrown together at the last minute before my cabal got on a plane to Portland, Oregon for Esozone 2008. As such, it contains a lot of random crap. You will also see traces of my obsession with the font Artiststamp. It’s so perfect for posters!

Esozone was … interesting. Portland is one of those crazy places where Discordians seem to gather in real life. It’s a really cool city, and I think we should all move there.

I didn’t spend a lot of time at Esozone, (I spent most of the vacation biking around with other Discordians and putting up posters) but there was a Discordian caucus in which they actually managed to get at least 23 of us in the same room at the same time. It’s the densest collection of Discordians I’ve ever seen in the flesh. So to this day, this poster pack reminds me of St. Mae, Metaphorge, and Johnny Brainwash, Telarus, Nigel, and Netatungrot, my favorite west coast 23rdian spags.

There’s a great anecdote out there about a Calvinball poster being mistaken for an actual Homeland Security poster, and causing some panic and paranoia in the people throwing esozone. So these things totally work, provided they catch your target at 6 AM as they’re opening day two of a convention. Hail Eris!
