Locals Flying around Town

Clear packing tape. Level positioning. Very professional.

Clear packing tape. Level positioning. Very professional.

What makes flyers so amusing is that in this city cluttered with bullshit advertising, flyers actually mean something. People text crap all day. Ramble on their cell phones about the crack head stumbling in front of them. Twitter about cold French fries. Email each other photos of kittens with your grandfather’s teeth. But flyers, even and perhaps especially the crazy ones, are sincere and require time, money, and effort—dodging neighborhood traffic with a roll of tape and pile of recently printed flyers, leaning over trashcans in the rain so New Yorkers can see what you have to offer.

HilariousNYC.com takes flyers seriously, particularly—of course—the ones that induce a smile. This flyer is an advertisement for a blog, dubblexblogspot.com, by Dubblex. It’s an artful, sexy, sometimes revolutionary blog complete with original poetry and engaging photos. Unfortunately, the url on the bottom flyer isn’t discernable, but it is made from the same sturdy, yellowish paper and features creative fonts with a similar underground tone in its message.  Clearly, Dubblex is double dipping, but that’s all right. The man has passion. We know because the flyer says so.
