Old May 5th, 2006, 04:41 PM        Alternative World Cup Banner
Today at work I was given amongst a billion other jobs, one marked "Alternative World Cup Banner" that is to be 10ft by 2.5ft for a bar in Manchester.

I pulled out the printed email inside to see what had been requested. The wording went something like this:

"Please put on a picture of footballers from different teams and countries, taken from the back, highlighting their bums wearing tight shorts - also mention we do corporate bookings and world cup related logos"

Now we have a lot of stock photography at our place, but nothing quite like this, so I asked my manager what other imagery we could use, assuming this banner was meant to pull in the women. God I'm so dumb, it's for a gay bar. My manager said, it was because gays aren't into football", I just stared at him cos last week when I needed help designing a poster with Football dates he told me how the hell should he know cos he ain't into football....

So anyway after seeing all sorts of things on the net i settled for one pics of footballers arses in baggy shorts that I made into a tv screen and photoshopped cartoon men in a bar ogling them.

My boss said it wasn't risqué enough, so he found one of two players tackling, their heads were missing so you wouldn't know one is a woman, and she's got very tight shorts on though. I put it inside a nob shaped picture box, highlighted in pink. And sparkles on the arse.

Have sent a proof of it to the gaybar. Am looking forward to returning email. "You patronising cow...."
