A couple of days ago, we did our best to figure out what was going on with the strongly vaginal imagery of A Voice for Men’s newly issued commemorative coins, designed by a “a world class jeweler and minter, widely recognized as a master artisan in his trade,” who also happens to be the father of A Voice for Men’s “Activia Director” Attila Vinczer.
The commemorative coins were such a lovely gift to all of us who enjoy laughing at MRAs that a friend of this blog suggested to me that we should return the favor by designing a commemorative plate for AVFM. This generous soul also pledged to provide a prize for the winner: an authentic “male tears” coffee mug.
So let’s see what you’ve got! You can use the carefully prepared commemorative plate template I pasted in above, or make one of your own. The more perplexing, the better!
If you need some inspiration, let me remind you again what the official AVFM commemorative coin looks like:
I’m sorry. That’s not AVFM’s commemorative coin. That is actually a guinea pig wearing glasses. Let me try again:
Crap. That’s actually a nineteenth-century illustration depicting the Galvanic Reanimation of the Dead. Here we go again:
What is that I don’t even.
Ok,ok, here’s the damn coin:
Also, I am being told that the younger Vinczer is not actually AVFM’s “Activia Director.” He is actually the site’s “Minister of Greek Yogurt.”
I think Viz beat us all to it with this cross-cultural exemplar of male heroism, sacrifice, leadership, spirituality, innovation and cool shades that is the MRA movement.
It’s the Souvenir Elvis Tutankhamun Dambusters Clock Plate of Tutankhamun. Warning: quite sweary. This is Viz.

I love the galvanised corpse image but can’t zoom in enough to read the text.

Oh, text transcribed here for anyone else as print-versus-picture oriented as me.

Don’t understand it now I can read it, but still feel obscure satisfaction to be able to.
Can’t really claim original artwork for this. Or much effort, for that matter.

Fauxmy,
Oh my gawds, hilarious!!! Sooo right indeed. Haha, stealing. Next time I hear privileged whining, I will suggest douchebags anonymous.

Quantumscale, perfect! It combines the level of seamless photoshopping, graphic design skill and wtf-ery we’ve come to know and enjoy from the MRA! I’m sure this will be their fav.
I spent today doing posting a lot of really heavy shit. You know what I needed?
AN EXCUSE TO DRAW A REALLY STUPID PLATE.
Nitram,
Thank you kindly. I am definitely not the artist in the family, more like the musician, but that came to me in a vision. I had to go out and buy colored pencils and a sketchbook to get it down. It has made me laugh for years. (note the signature and say it kinda quick like 😉 )
I have no skill in graphic arts, so I won’t even attempt a design. But I would humbly submit the following copy: “We hunted the mammoth … and all we got was this crappy commemorative plate!”
@ LBT
You were one of those kids who drew cocks on things when they were bored at school, weren’t you?

@cloudia — awesome!
I am loving these designs!
bluecatbabe, thanks for finding the transcript of that cartoon. I wanted to read it too!

Is that a picture of Prince Harry, cloudiah?
Some excellent work here.
I’m kind of a one-trick pony:

@bluecatbabe: I think my favorite little detail about the Dambusters Tutankhamun Timepiece is the face of the clock clearly has fighters on it, not anything like the bombers actually used in the Dambusters raid.
Oh my god, cloudiah, where’d you find that tribble pile painting?
Oh, wait, it’s a Star Trek plate in the first place. Never mind.
Of course it’s Prince Harry! Hypergamy-target #1!

All we have achieved,
Is laid out on one small plate.
I wash it alone.

The dog tells my tale,
And makes me look pathetic.
Maybe it’s a bitch?

Why is Pink eating
the only frosted cupcake?
Gals spoil everything!
Damn. Now, that coin not only looks uglier (if that’s even possible), but it’s like there’s a disgruntled toad in the middle of the pool, coming up to tell those bozos to quit throwing rocks. That’s it, isn’t it?
