Seriously, postcards.

By Pat Law™ • Jun 22nd, 2007 • Category: The Design Diva, The Lonely Travellor

Slap on a country’s name upon a signature view of skyscrapers, trees, birds, people and whatnot, and ta-da! A wishyouwerehere postcard worthy of 50 cents and nothing more. Wishyouwerehere postcards are so boring, I decided to create some on my own.

Seriously, the prostitutes are cheaper here.

Seriously, I had pig’s organs for breakfast.

    You know, when I first encountered the tissue paper phenomenon down in the CBD area, I was naive enough to think that the food court operators were so nice that each table came with complimentary tissue paper packs! Haha.

    lol. very twisted, i like! loved the tissue paper one — the type treatment especially reminds me of those fancy schmancy dinner party place cards that society swans can’t do without.

    “pig’s organs” stuck out for some reason though. maybe it’s the placement of the word “seriously”?

    Oei copywriter, why are you doing up so late? No need to go to work huh? ;)
    Seriously (yes pun intended), thank you for your compliments.

    now they upgraded. from tissue paper they’re using their lanyards. the thing that goes around their neck minus the access cards. so… weird.

    i don’t care if i have a late lunch or anything, just seeing all these weird things going on at the hawker center or foodcourt drives me nuts.

  11. thedroptowonderland on June 22nd, 2007 at 11:16 am:

    and ohhh. i like the last one.

    Impressive Pat! Loved the tissue phenomenon you addressed.

    Pee, alas, the love-hate relationships we all have with our partners.. no choice lah.

    “Seriously, it’s illegal to receive a blowjob unless you fuck that person.” – Like, really?

    Yes darling, it’s illegal under Sections 377 and 377A of the Penal Code. Read more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_377_of_the_Singapore_Penal_Code

    ouh i think the BJ one is because of the Changi’s SHE-Hims…

    Wow. Weird. …particularly the blow-job bit.

    Handy that it’s called a penal code.

Say something.
