Its a feast for the eyes.
What? You're not a fan of Alan Warriner-Little's enormous, squashed head?

"Iconic" in quotes is OK as long as somebody notable (in relation to the event) said it (and the creator of that, er, whatever it is, doesn't count).

Is that Francis Honselaar on the right hand side? Haven't seen her for a while on anything, not since she took the brave step into the world of hardcore pornography.

Is the answer by heaping praise upon the PR Officer of the EDO ?

I guess this is what some Bunn Leisure vouchers buy you on Fiver.com these days :)

I also hope the PR officer obtained consent from the PDC for the use of its images of certain players

Also glad to see the contempt for Wolfie Admas continues their feud by deliberately omitting that legend from their posters

Well neither has Steve Maish and he's on it 2nd top right

Wolfie has appeared most times and is really synonymous with the amateur side of darts

I have seen many truly atrocious posters but this is without doubt the worst one ever.

Someone who should be ashamed of themselves used the "magic erasure" to cut th players out which is why ana and ronnie baxter are missing parts of their body and the black outline is still around robbie Green.
As for the state of the edo logo and the Isle of man logos, that is just hilarious.
That is not taking in to consideration the text and layout, distorted bodies etc.

Tommy must have made that poster himself surely, as no person in their right mind as head of an organisation would be sent that and ok it.
If Tommy did not make it and was presented with this to post and still allowed it in that condition shows how much respect he has for the comp when you would allow that out.

Its so bad even I feel sorry for them
i am so sorry for my actions these last ten years, i'm going through a tough time

All who appear have won the title. Wolfie definitely shouldn't be on. Even more so if he has tried more than most and failed.

Perhaps we have all been taken in by a clever attempt at viral marketing by the EDO

No one would of mentioned the event or the poster but now it gets posted everywhere saying look at this in a massive blaze of free publicity
