The organizers of Calgary’s Sled Festival are catching a lot of heat for a festival poster, featuring the name of one of the headlining bands: Toronto’s Holy F@ck.
The poster isn’t that exciting, but the response has been hilarious. Some of the money quotes from angry Calgarians (or is it Calgons?):
Ali Clark, manager at Kane’s Harley Diner in Inglewood, said no one asked for permission to put up a poster in her restaurant.
“One of the kids pointed out to me there are swear words on a poster,” she said. “That’s appalling to find in a family restaurant.”
Hey, lady! You work at a Harley Diner. What’d you expect? Have you ever even seen a Harley rider?
“Typical, average Harley riders”
Clark said she was at first distracted by the cute illustration that accompanied the profanity.
“It has a bunny on it,” she said while crumpling up the poster. “Imagine your eight-year-old going over to read it.”
Kids just can’t resist a bunny.
So, we did some digging around, and we think the people are freaking out over nothing. What we find truly offensive about the band Holy F@ck is their really crappy music.
The organizers are reprinting censored versions of the posters, but unfortunately for concert-goers, they’ll still have to listen to Holy F@ck.
