Here's an odd story from the world of packaging. Flying Dog brewery is suing the Michigan Liquor Control Commission on First Amendment grounds after its best-selling beer, Raging Bitch, was banned by the state, which claims the label, designed by Ralph Steadman, is "detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the general public." Steadman, of course, is known for his quite freaky illustrations, including those in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegasand many other works by Hunter S. Now Flying Dog is suing the state for banning sales of the beer. The celebrated artist is shocking! and appalling! the powers that be in Michigan with his illustration for Flying Dog Brewery's Raging Bitch beer.
