(OT) Seeking comedy advice (retro-violence and other oddness)

First Post
My friends and I are organizing a Halo multiplayer shoot'em up fest in a few weeks and I wanted to do a small flyer for it. I plan to do it retro 50's style and it should look fairly cool (I'll include a samples of valentine's day brochure [just the outside] and card I did for my fiancee in that style).

Anyway, I need a good header line for the flyer I'm making... Some ideas I've had:

"Get your ass kicked!"
"Guns, Guts, and Gory"
"This Saturday: Buckshot Bonanza!"

They're kind weak though, wanted to hear your ideas, suggestions, etc...

Thanks guys :) :)

Kill now, pay later—low interest financing available for the newest model Shotguns, Rocket Launchers, Pistols, and Rifles of all kinds.*

Had a rough day? Feeling down, listless, or consistently tired? These may be signs of clinical depression. Depression could be caused by a lack of certain chemicals in the brain. One possible remedy is senseless violence. The chemicals and endorphins released during absolute enragement primed by senseless violence have been shown to temporarily alleviate depression. Halo, a video drug, not needing to be prescribed by your doctor, has been shown to duplicate the chemicals and endorphins that are released during unadulterated rage. Halo may not be right for everyone, so remember, don't see your doctor, and don't bother asking him about Halo; just make up your damn mind!*

Find a 50's-style photo of a happy hausfrau holding a platter of pot roast or whatever the hell they ate back in Days Long Past. Use your mad Photoshop skillz to replace said food item with the bloodied head of a grinning, pipe-in-mouth 50's style dad. Above this heartwarming picture, put the phrase "HALO - It's What's For Dinner!"

This is a great source for those types of pictures...

Well, here is what I came up with. On the bottom right I'll place the map and instructions. Other then that, it's more or less finished. Any recommended changes, suggestions, etc?
