Stupid Clients are Abound. But a certain blonde is...
clientsfromhell:
After designing a brochure for a client, their last request was that I put a bright red triangle in the bottom right hand corner of the cover with a bold “OPEN ME” on it because they were afraid people wouldn’t know it was a brochure and that they could open it.
“We can’t use a photo of peanut-butter sandwiches on that DM. My daughter is...”

Pregnant or fat?
One of the strangest dilema on the morning commute. Which then results in te next question, should I or shouldn’t I give up my seat to this potentially pregnant woman. At least she’s not French!!

The following is an extract of the transcript of...
Maddow: Let me try to make more comprehensible to you. The legislator who sponsored the bill told the Associated Press today, that he insists these strict measures, which I know you abhor -
Cohen: Yes.
Maddow: But these strict measure they‘re proposing, including execution, are necessary in their country to prevent homosexuals from recruiting school children.
Cohen: Yes.
Maddow: Let me ask - I‘ll just read from your book, OK? Page 49, “Homosexuals are at least 12 times more likely to molest children than heterosexuals. Homosexual teachers are at least seven times more likely to molest a pupil. Homosexual teachers are estimated to have committed at least 25 percent of pupil molestation; 40 percent of molestation assaults were made by those who engage in homosexuality.”
Maddow: This is the claim that you make in your book that exactly feeds these folks who want to execute people for being gay, what they need in order to justify that. Do you stand by what you said in your book?
Cohen: Actually, you know, that one particular quote, when I do republish it, reprint it, we will extract that from it, because we don‘t want such things to be used against homosexual persons.
Maddow: That quote is cited - you cite somebody named Paul Cameron as the source of that book.
Cohen: Yes.
Maddow: Paul Cameron has been kicked out of the American Psychological Association, the Nebraska Psychological Association, and the Canadian Psychological Association.
Cohen: Yes. Right.
Maddow: Then, he tried to make himself a sociologist. He got kicked out of the American Sociological Association. This is - I know you say you‘re not going to include it in edition three. I‘m reading from the second edition here.
Cohen: Right.
Maddow: But this is made-up information, fake authoritative stuff that, in other countries, is being taken as science and used to justify quite literally killing gay people. Do you see now why you‘re being used in a political context here?
