Molly, I know all this DJ “tool” anger is coming from a place of jealousy. Deep down, I think you really just want--nay, NEED--your own DJ flyer. Thankfully, I’m here to fill that need.
Btw, before you get too harsh on the graphics, I actually shot that background image as an experimental tossing of my camera into the air. I would never have used it in this way, but why steal someone else’s lame background when I had one of my own? And, I’m sure I could have done a better job, but why waste too much time on a joke, right?

Looking through my Think Geek catalog (yes, they still mail paper catalogs from time to time), I found this. It’s the iPhone Camera Telescope. Yeah...OK. I’m not an Apple person myself, and I know lots of people are, but I can’t think of too many people that would be in love with this idea. Maybe that’s just me, though. What makes it even more tooly? It won’t work with the 3G iPhone.
Enjoy!
