I really feel for Andrew, the guy who prints out the posters I design for the Black Eagle. He’s straight yet works in a print shop that oversees most of Church Street’s poster/marketing jobs and I am sure he’s seen his share of softcore gay porn images while processing these files.
The posters I plunk down on his desktop show various gay bondage images, somewhat hard core gay sex scenes and bizzare costumed leather daddy/boy/slave/master/kitty cat porn imagery. I always look at his face for some flicker of heterosexual reaction to these images as he goes through them one by one to check the instructions written on the proofs. I’m looking for some straight-guy-Pavlovian-reaction to gay porn. He gives me nothing. One time I made an 11×17 colour poster of an uncut dick the size of the poster, with lettering on the side. Nada.
Today, I brought in a poster of an upended furry butt with the event title on either side of the hole. Zzzt. Nothing. I point to the manhole image and say “You may have some difficulty opening that file,” seeing if he’ll react to the innuendo. Nope. We discuss the poster file and that’s it.
Kudos Andrew. You’re truly a cool guy.

Eh, I’m just jealous. I never get to design using male genetalia. Although I am doing a thing for the US Marine Corps next week, perhaps they’d appreciate it.
Hahaha, that’s cruel Panda.
I just want him to say “Holy Fack that’s sick you awful evil bastard!” when he looks at my posters. Its the dream of every artist.

Ok, Ted, it’s time for a lession in tolerance.
Do you flinch when you look at straight porn? Does a pair of boobies on the screen make you want to run?
Not all of us straight folks are ascared of teh homo sex. While I don’t activly seek it out it doesn’t bother me one way or another. I’m just not interested in the subject matter.
We’re here, we’re straight, get used to us.
Also, he works in a print shop. He probably sees all sorts of sick, freakish, totally wrong things that have no business existing in this wonderful life that Jesus Christ, our lord and savior, has given us.
