And in the news...

The power of the internet

Huh. The power of the internet. After twenty years I've just discovered that the lyrics of Bananarama's Love in the First Degree run "guilty as a girl can be" and not "guilty as a drunken bee" as I'd always thought.

Another illusion shattered.

I prefered my version.

And I'm still reeling from the revelation that the chorus of Manfred Mann's Blinded by the Light go "revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night" and not "revved up like a douche" as I'd previously thought.

You can tell you're a graphic designer when...

My assistant bought in a couple of CDs to listen to at work.



My first comment:
"You just liked the typeface didn't you?"

I'm a sad bastard.

That said, they DID use the same font. Come on album designers, show some imagination!

(Obviously the typeface on my avatar's completely different.)

And today's top pic - Donald Duck tearing open Christina Aguilera's dress to reveal her breast.

Apparently ducks must be natures perverts too. No wonder Alan Moore has a thing about them.

Mind you, Alan Moore's just released a graphic novel that features graphic sex scenes between a pre-teen girl and crocodile, so what gives him to take the moral high ground about ducks, who the hell knows?

Anyway, Donald Duck's a pervert. Mind you, he still has a way to go before he turns out to be as big a slut as Goofy.

For your listening pleasure...

Imagine if there was a lost song from South Pacific. Imagine that song dealt with a lone soldier pouring out his heart about indoctrination into manhood when he was dragged along to a brothel and forced to perform with a lady of the night. Then imagine it to the tune of a jaunty tango. Then imagine that they couldn't find a trained singer to perform the number and instead dragged a crazed Scottish lunatic off the street. Imagine lyrics by French songwriter Jaques Brel (who also wrote for Bowie) like "I swear on the wet head, of my first case of gonorrhea..."
