Yeah, I don't think this quite works.

We reflected on this a bit today at work. I would argue that it fails even if the grapefruit was displayed as a three-quarters image, simply because the "RAPEFRUIT" text just jumps out at you. There are lots of examples where designers try to sub photos for letters in a type display and damned near all of them fail in some fashion.

There was an ad that ran every year in the Washington Post for a D.C. Jazz Fest event and it used the Washington Monument in place of the "a" in Jazz. Yep, it always read as "Jizz Fest" to me.

Instead of making some gratefruit Crystal Light, we'll now make rapefruit Crystal Light.

And good point, Ygster.

Yeah, I suspect that's getting largely ignored in all this. But that ain't a damn G.

According to some Republicans, you can't get pregnant from rapefruit.

Sweet. You know what might turn you on? If I slipped a roofie inside your juicy wet flesh.
