Oh, but it’s so divisive. [fans self] Can’t we just listen to other points of view instead of insisting they join our echo chamber in such an uncivil way? [collapses to fainting couch]
I read that as: Don’t be a racist i fuck!
Which is fair enough really, but I’d rather that somebody isn’t a racist someone else fucks either.
Sounds like someone is fucking a lot of racists.
Unfortunate kerning. Should add it here:
Who knew that passive-aggressiveness could be so profitable?
That typography is unfortunate.
I saw it as a potential violation of an Apple trademark: iFuck
Swell. Now we’ll have endless arguments between the iFuck fanbois and the Fleshlight nerds.
And the giftcards so that I can give iFuck.
Every single person I would mail this too will have the same response…
“I am not a racist!! You think I am a racist?!?”
Would these even make it through the US Mail?
And all of them will be sent anonymously. If you want to call me a racist, you had better to do it my face.
Ouch! I do not disagree. To be fair—I hand-set this in a fit of anger.
I hope people can overlook the spacing and still hear the words.
It wasn’t my original intent. I figured people would buy them to personally hand out. xo
Thank you for this. I love it.
Ha ha! I didn’t even catch that. No—please don’t be a breeding racist.
Thank you.
Also, hurrah for letterpress. My grandfather was a printer in San Francisco his whole life. Even taught the founder of Arion Press his craft.
Just as another opinion, I don’t find the kerning at all problematic. I think it actually helps draw attention to the message. These cards are awesome!
