That whole Samson thing gets more and more fucked up as it goes along.

Later on, at the time of wheat harvest, Samson took a young goat and went to visit his wife. He said, "I'm going to my wife's room." But her father would not let him go in.

pplains, Thursday, 10 May 2012 16:30 (fourteen years ago)

idgi did he fuck the goat

Roger Barfing (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 10 May 2012 16:33 (fourteen years ago)

Top tip - when visiting your wife, if you're chatting with her father, remember to remember her name.

'Cause it's a golf swing and a Spartan helmet in profile at the same time

The first time someone pointed out the KKK thing on a pack of Marlboro's, I remarked that he smoked a LOT of weed.

Love Max Ophüls of us all (Michael White), Thursday, 10 May 2012 16:47 (fourteen years ago)

ha the marlboro thing was pointed out to me by a friend ... who smoked a lot of weed

whoa I never noticed the bees on the Lyle's logo. and I was puzzled because we used to eat the Lyle's treacle cake as a weekend treat for a while when I was a kid, and how could I not have noticed? but apparently they're not on the cake packaging:

did Mr McVitie say "we're not making your cake unless we can airbrush these sodding insects out of the logo"?

xp to Marlboros picture - hanging black men and the jew what? are those meant to be legs? why would the jew(?) have legs shaped sort of like an M? this hurts my brain

amazed by most of this in thread; had only really noticed the FedEx arrow. I have one to share! Two smilie faces, not just one:

It was ages before I figured out that each side of the cube spelled out the company name.

I saw the Spartan one right away but I can only see on smilie face in FFM's pic. I'm sat here squinting my eyes and tilting my head and everything!

The 'jew' there is the letters mar upside down I guess - no idea about the black man.

WMSMITH - I can see the M/I/H - what's the T?

Andrew Farrell, Thursday, 10 May 2012 18:29 (fourteen years ago)

Hah, I was thinking that the other smiley face was the first one, but the top left corner was the nose, like it was in profile.

Andrew Farrell, Thursday, 10 May 2012 18:31 (fourteen years ago)

Amazed by many of these logos, but esp. FedEx arrow. So elegant. There's a brief interview with the designer here: http://www.thesneeze.com/mt-archives/000273.php.
One other thing about the logo: the bottom of "ed" in Fed falls ever so slightly below the writing line. Wheels of a truck? Or am I making stuff up now I can't look at logos in a normal way any longer..?

willem, Thursday, 10 May 2012 18:32 (fourteen years ago)

I can see it now. YAY!

wolf kabob (ENBB), Thursday, 10 May 2012 18:33 (fourteen years ago)

yeah the big smilie face is just a big version of the same g!

that spartan golf logo is genius

goole, Thursday, 10 May 2012 18:47 (fourteen years ago)

and yes idgi the lyle's logo. bees eating a dead lion? that's not a trick of the eye it's just fucked up

goole, Thursday, 10 May 2012 18:47 (fourteen years ago)

Wish there was a 'bees eating a dead lion' exhibit at the zoo.

I always thought that the bees were building a nest inside the dead lion?

omg!

mizzell, Thursday, 10 May 2012 19:00 (fourteen years ago)

maybe it's like those parasites that control animals, and the bees turn the lion into a puppet and it's like a zombie bee-filled lion

how could would THAT be

that spartan golf course one is amazing

And then you break open the bee controlled zombie lion like a pinata and golden syrup comes out?

banal like anal (snoball), Thursday, 10 May 2012 19:44 (fourteen years ago)

Because I think that's what JFK really wanted NASA to work on, but he settled for telling them to go to the moon instead.

banal like anal (snoball), Thursday, 10 May 2012 19:47 (fourteen years ago)

the only thing cooler than a zombie lion bee golden syrup pinata is the moon, tbh

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 10 May 2012 19:49 (fourteen years ago)

i never noticed the 31 in the BR before. That explains why that logo always makes my head hurt though.

Scott, bass player for Tenth Avenue North (Hurting 2), Thursday, 10 May 2012 19:49 (fourteen years ago)

xp If it was a zombie bee golden syrup pinata moon, then I'd agree with you.

banal like anal (snoball), Thursday, 10 May 2012 19:49 (fourteen years ago)

idk a decomposing lion swarmed with bees sounds like a fitting emblem for a product called 'treacle'
