Those Dallas County writers think they’re soooo clever.
D Magazine hotshots Tim Rogers and Zac Crain mocked Downtown Arlington’s new logo and then had the gall to corrupt the slogan for their own sick amusement.
They’re now hawking T-shirts with slogans such as “Downtown Arlington: The Paris of I-30” and “Downtown Arlington: Suck It, Grand Prairie.”
I praised the same Arlington logo in May. It looks perfectly fine. Yes, I might have mocked downtown Arlington a little bit myself, but Arlington is family. I can call my own family boring, bucktoothed, lonely losers. But Dallas folks can’t.
Vengeance is apparently mine as I’ve come up with a few slogans for downtown Dallas.
“Downtown Dallas: The Alcatraz of I-30”
“Downtown Dallas: Hey, Man, Can You Spare Some Change? I’m Traveling With My Pregnant Wife And I’ve Got A Job Offer In Maypearl And We Just Need $3 More And We’ll Have Enough Gas Money To Get Us There And Start New And Better Lives. And Do You Have A Smoke Too?”
“Downtown Dallas: Uh, No, The Cowboys Play Over In Arlington”
Thank you for calling us hotshots. And stay tuned for our line of lingerie extolling the greatness of Dalworthington Gardens.
I’m gonna make my own: Tim Rogers: the Jeff Prince of Dallas.
Downtown Dallas: We shot a President. Downtown Dallas: Where Sanger Harris and Joske’s used to be.
Downtown Dallas: In Garland’s Long Shadow
Downtown Dallas: Beats A Sharp Stick In The Eye
Downtown Dallas; the Cleveland of Texas
DMagazine; the Monthly Man’s Gay Rag
You praised the Downtown Arlington logo?! All your future opinions on matters of taste are now invalid.
Agree. Totally. 100%. The logo is horrible.
david — i like your style.
Dammit. It’s a catch-22! 🙂
Jeez, everytime I decide to read this rag, it gets worse and worse. My high school newspaper had better writing. This paper is so fort worth….lame.
Tony, lighten up. Or better yet, light up.
