Before we put away Frank Jackson’s butthole-heard-’round-the-world comment, first let us remember that the quip was humanizing but has obscured what was otherwise a frankly depressing interview once again showing the mayor’s clear belief that elected officials can’t muster change to overcome systemic problems, and second, let’s enjoy these photos of a homemade Butthole sign a la the Cleveland signs.

“There’s something about finding out that the mayor of your city used the word ‘butthole’ in a press conference that broke through the insane amount of tension that had been building up from the pandemic and the systemic racism and everything else going on right now,” Heather Ramsey, who made the sign and joins the creator of the Lido Lounge for squirrels as the arts and craft winners of 2020, told Scene. “I think I laughed for several solid minutes that night and then I saw someone had posted ‘butthole’ in script letters and instantly pictured it in the place of those signs. Then I had a day off of work and…”

Vince Grzegorek has been with Scene since 2007 and editor-in-chief since 2012. He previously worked at Discount Drug Mart and Texas Roadhouse.

  1. You lap dogs fixate on Jackson’s butthole comment while his grandson skates away from a murder charge. What a bunch of ‘journalists’!

  2. You Pukes are trying to embarrass Jackson so we embrace the Candidate that shares your disdain for Law & Order.

    Smash Jackson so Scene can team up with their Antifa Commrades at the SEIU and endorse Jeff Johnson.

    Mark my words this is what will happen.

  3. Taxin Jackson is an utter embarrassment to the city!!! All he is concerned about is more taxes for every single pet project he and his wealthy developers can think of!!!

    It’s time to recall this crook as well as cohort thief Budish out of office now!!!

  4. I guess grzegorek did make the little paper sign and do a closeup of it. He’s such a creative funny guy. He had the best graffiti tags during the cleveland riot.

  5. What bothers me most about this is that at a time when I am deciding on whether or not to stay in Cleveland to help aid my mom through old age, or perhaps move to Pittsburgh/Columbus to just be close by, I am forced to recall this mayor’s butthole comment. It is almost the nail in the coffin to my being able to stay (from a psychological perspective). That’s bogus, man!
