WARNING: Profanity

So I was just perusing my account history of my local Rants & Raves message board which I frequented quite a bit last year and came across this gem I wrote last December ? I had forgotten all about it! Either you'll love it or hate it...

Mr. Gutenberg, I Hate You

Sure, your hand got tired from writing the same thing over and over. All you wanted was a faster way to make copies of the bible, and so you invented the printing press. Fuck you, Johann.

Fuck you for CMYK images in a spot color document.
Fuck you for missing links.
Fuck you for corrupt fonts.
Fuck you for Postscript errors.
Fuck you for nightmare trapping jobs.
Fuck you for paste-up.
Fuck you for business cards.
Fuck you for realtor postcards. And fuck you, realtors - you are retarded.
Fuck you for reflex blue ink.
Fuck you for "designers" who have no FUCKING idea what they are doing.
Fuck you for client press checks.
Fuck you for crooked stripping jobs.
Fuck you for inconsistent screen tints.
Fuck you for PageMaker. And Publisher. And fuck you, customers who give me files in these programs - you are retarded and your work looks like shit.
Fuck you Windows.

No wonder the printing trade has the highest incidence of alcoholism amongst its workers - myself included! I'm going out to tie one on right now!
