LOS ANGELES — Offensive Crayons, marketed as “a colorful box of writing tools with obscenely off-color names,” has announced its first-ever Color Naming Contest.
“To kick off the upcoming release of its Porn/Sex coloring box assortment, Offensive Crayons is on the hunt for the most tasteless, but clever, captions to stake a claim on a crayon color,” explained a rep.
The winning entrant will receive a cash prize of $500, and their winning color name will be prominently displayed in the pack.
“We have received many perfectly inappropriate and objectionable suggestions over the years, and we’re quite hard to impress,” said Offensive Crayons founder Alice Vaughn. “We’ve got $500 on the line for a really good color name, so don’t let us down!”
Vaughn said that Color Naming Contest entries should be witty and follow the Porn/Sex theme, with the joke or phrase fairly obvious “to even the dumbest person you know,” and to steer clear of timely or topical names. “We’re looking for a classic — crass and ‘politically incorrect’ captions that will stand the test of time.”
The Offensive Crayons Color Naming Contest ends September 1 and the winner will be announced shortly thereafter.
