Friggin' Wheaties, huh?

From what I hear, Wheaties gives you spark.

I was watching the playoffs a little and I told my wife "I want one of those hats!" Y'know, a blue hat with a red bill, and that cool Indian logo on it. My wife reminded me that the hat was reprehensible because it was racist. She's right. But that cartoon is so cool

Think about it, the Cleveland Indian Logo, which now is often seen as racist, has a subtext to it:


Wild savages ready to attack.
Crazy warriors with Tomahawks and arrows.
Unrelenting onslaught.
Insane and badass.

And not a "Hey what about, 'I will fight no more forever'?" in sight, Nor a "They are enigmatic..." Also a dearth of "Our founding fathers borrowed from the Iroquois for the Constitution!!!"

Jus' WILD INDIANS. (Fun fact: Indians actually come from India!)

SO HERES A SOLUTION......



THE CLEVELAND WHITE DEVIL

Now, think about it-

400 years of slavery of African Americans
Smallpox blankets sold to the Indians
Invisible weapons of mass destruction
No evolution
Shock and Awe
The most elaborate serial killers
Tasing Cops
WWF
Deliverance
Insert godawful thing here
In short actually INSANE AND BADASS

I think I'm gonna get these made........whaddyathink?

Labels: baseball, cartoon, history, India, Iraq, USA

Working out how to best print these in preparation for sale....Backs will have a fave song lyric instead of stats. Teams and stuff like that is purely dictated by what I found searching vs. head size...
Also, there's a little "WTF?!?! moment at the bottom.

and as so many bad interoffice joke emails say, "wait for it......"

Okay, I have a job & family, so I can't do a whole set but would love to. Feel free to make this type of work my living - you who are empowered to do so. As the summer progresses, I'll continue, maybe, and will print them and sell them at the all-Glyphjockey Store I'm opening soon. (Remember: "everything is for sale"). As far as selections, I'm currently goingw ith the "I like who I like" method, but since it seems to matter, I paid a little more attention to the teams this time. And....with music!
