13 CommentsI'm at Borders right now, reading STEP magazine and I see this feature called "Tasteless designer jokes". Here's a few:
Q: What's the difference between a designers and a hooker?
A: A hooker doesn't try to find a way for a job to take longer.
A: A designer gets paid for layouts, a hooker gets laid for payouts.
A: Nothing. They'll both do a quickie, overnight.
Both are highly paid for feigning enthusiasm and getting f**ked.
A: Hookers never work on spec ... no, really. NEVER.
Q: What do you get when you cross brand exploration with strategic insight, and equal parts collaboration and Ideation, sprinkled with a little design distinction and "thinking outside the box"?
A: Who gives a shit?

I'm confused. Are the jokes tasteless, or are the designers tasteless?
Or maybe it's both.

I assume you must be tasteless (even if it's for a brief period) to come up with tasteless jokes.

By the way, I shared some of them with my girlfriend who was not even slightly amused.

She should lighten up, Chris! XD They're hilarious. But then, I'm a disgusting individual. :)

Those are guy jokes. I laughed but my wife would be disgusted and wonder all over again why I enjoy web design ;)

No, I feel like it wasn't that tasty.

This reminds me of Jared's "You Might Be a Designer If" thread.
You know, like...
...you might be a designer if you see the singer India.Arie's name and automatically think "subdomain".
Man that was lame....(hangs head in shame)
