Big-Ass Message gets the Message Through for You

March 14th, 2010

Sometimes people just don’t get it. You tell them once, you hint them twice – but nothing sinks in.

You need something more prominent to get your message through. Something blunt. Rude. Something that others can’t ignore.

Big-Ass Message is the fast and easy way to convey your thoughts to others. Just type in your (short) message, and get it back designed in big-assed font, Pepsi style, Jeopardy style or blink-till-you-die style.

Very useful. Thanks, guys!
