Weatherman: I cannot be arsed guessing what Saturday will be like; good luck to you.

Max Barry (of Jennifer Government and Company fame) put up a mini-comp to design a can for a promo for an upcoming movie of a book Max wrote (ain’t that a story all in itself) - and here’s my entry (may offend some; read Max’s post for details).
