“No cussing at passersby, no glass, no hard alcohol, no one under the age of 18, no booze on board unless everyone is age 21, no one over 300 lbs. pedaling, no nakedness, no exiting the vehicle until it comes to a complete stop, no taking your drink with you if you exit the vehicle and we only wave at people with all five fingers.”
Pedal Pubs have come to Uptown.

Similarities with Print Yellow Pages and Child Temper Tantrums

There is more text in this post and the illustration below is proof I will never make it in the web illustration industry.

A three-year old may open his toy-box and leave all of his unwanted toys in the living room to go get a cookie. The parent denies it until he picks up his toys. The child throws an immediate temper tantrum to where the parent still denies the cookie.

Months later, the child still refuses to pick up his unwanted toys and the parent still doesn’t give him a cookie. The child then appeals to the U.S. Ninth District Court.

Here’s where yellow pages companies show similar traits regarding delivering unwanted phone books, and the proof that I will never make it as a web illustrator. Click on the image to enlarge:

After putting yellow pages on time-out once, Seattle unveiled an opt-out program in May, 2011. Then, yellow pages companies denied their time-out and did what they do best, sue Seattle and lose.

Now, the Phone Book Association and associated companies decided to appeal their time-out to the U.S. Ninth District Court. They believe that ignoring their own opt-out programs is a job successfully done.

For three-year old kids, getting a cookie involves picking up your unwanted toys first.

For yellow pages companies, letting you deliver phone books involves actually honoring your own opt-out policies you’ve put in place as early as 2008. The appeals you make simply wouldn’t happen if you actually honored them in the first place.
