I'm doing the Boston Pride Parade again and I'm gonna hand out flyers like a mofo. Taking recommendations for what I should print out. Currently pretty sure I'll be doing the Strange Times pamphlet, but it could use some company.
Time sensitive: I need to finish printing by tomorrow (Friday) night.
Crap. Wish I had known earlier, I could have plumbed the depths of my work computer.

You should either way, it's not like I'll never hand out flyers again after this :)
What about those ads you worked up for use with that think-tank? They were both eye-catching and pithy.

I'm not sure how many of them would work for a pride parade. We Are What We Do, for example, could be grossly misinterpreted in that context.

:spittake:
But wouldnt that just make it funnier?
Actually, I was thinking of Go the Fuck Outside and No One Is Coming To Save You. Something like that anyway. Been a while since I read that thread.
Threw together these four as a quarter sheet set (they get cut up and handed out individually).
Slightly smaller, six to a sheet. If anyone notices a way these can be made terrible in this context, I'd really appreciate the feedback.
With my 'deliberately out of context' hat on:
'Everyone is faking it' = 'Homosexuality isn't a REAL thing!'
'Freedom Isn't Safe' = Some sort of safe sex message?

Freedom =/= safe
Sexual freedom =/= safe
OMG TEH GAYS WILL INFECT US WITH TEH GAY/AIDS/TERRORISM AND GLITTER!!!!
Haters gonna hate. And so on.
:lulz:
So, this is why we run things by friends who are good at misinterpreting things. Freedom isn't Safe is out (noted upthread), Everyone is Faking It is out (upthread), One Goddamned Thing is out (poor tone choice), and There is No Conspiracy is out (too many conspiracy nutbags in the audience)
So far Blessed are the Trouble Makers has passed every review and Impolite hasn't caught any flack either. I'll see what else I can dig up, but I already ruled out a lot of them (Nothing will be Okay, Everything is Problematic, My Revenge, Bitch, You Like Bad People, Your Ideas are Bad, Please Stop Doing That, You are Illegal...) for obvious reasons.
All in the "know your audience" category, which many people should partake of.
200 pope cards, 60ish Strange Times, about a hundred of the flyers I was supposed to be handing out, and some number of buttons.
I am exhausted and irregularly sunburned, but it was fun.

For that much propaganda, you deserve a regular sunburn, at least. You should demand a refund.
Glad you had fun,though.
