Hi guys, considering people on this forum were talking about the John Bransgrove posters, I thought I'd copy here what is up on the 180 website:
No such thing as bad publicity?
Well, apparantly there is. It seems we've upset some people on campus (who have chosen to remain anonymous), and they've decided to get creative. Considering all art is imitation, they've created a series of poster prints pretending to be us. The 180 Degrees logo is there, as normal, but apparantly we've got a new mascot; a devil woman with the 180 arrow for a tail. When I say this is bad publicity, I don't mean damaging. I mean tacky. The posters sport the following quotes:
Pretty
What are you afraid of? You've seen my tail just not my face?
- Apparantly this one is the cleverest, combined with the 180 tail devil lady. Get a copy if you can. Oh and you've seen my (Phil's) face. It'll be in the back of the diary next year, on the SAM Board. And what a pretty face it is.
Proof they are evil
- Again with the picture of the devil woman. Unfortunately this didn't work for bigfoot, and so experts are dubious as to the authenticity of this image.
There's nothing wrong with The Lachlan Review, haven't you ever lied before?
- "Once, but then my foot ached for a week and I had to sit down."
Vote for me. Your life will be better. I PROMISE.
- A promise is a promise.
Why? The Lachlan Review? Well, we all lie sometime.
- Why? Grammar?
Don't be afraid. Try me. Vote me. Things will be gooooooooooood.
- "Ah peer pressure, where would my virginity be without you?"
Sending you back
- But you have to be at the clock tower by midnight!
Driving you backwards
- We call it "reverse".
I want your MUSC
- "All your MUSC are belong to us!"
"Trust me!"
- Never trust a man that says "trust me". Unless it's on an anonymous poster.
I can't believe it. They believe!
- "You mean to say this isn't butter?"
Vote for me. 180 is at your service.
- Wow, ummm... thanks?
I'm not new around here, but don't ask me what happened before 2003
- "After Conception Day I can't even remember last month!"
We at 180 Degrees are not going to be taking the posters down. We feel that they do us more good than harm, especially getting our name out there during elections, so we thank whoever did it. We wouldn't be surprised if people want to keep a copy as a memento, or the University takes them down, so we've taken photos which will be coming soon to the 180 site. Thanks once again to those that spent time and resources writing, printing and coming in on the weekend to put those posters up and try to discredit us. Better luck next time kids!

- Even I was surprised at that level of coverage! They should still be up tomorrow, as we're not taking them down. They're tooamusing.
