Procter & Gamble Moon Not Satanic

Former Procter and Gamble logo, reversed to show supposed sixes subversively worked into the beard detail.

P&G logo showing supposed sixes in the stars - a stretch at best, this was difficult to illustrate.

As if there was ever any doubt, Procter & Gamble has won $19.25M in a suit against Amway distributors who had defamed them with this rumor. For Amway, to cast aspersions is shocking to me, with THEIR secretive and cult-like meetings. They actually have to misrepresent these gatherings as a party of sorts, in order to lure unsuspecting victims into long-ass sales spiels for their MLM pipe dreams. Loons!

Personally, I never noticed this logo when it was in use, but I like it. As a logo, I probably would have simplified the lines, less swoopties and curliques because it repros like crap at smaller sizes. Also not feeling the unicorn look to the points.

I have such a crescent man-in-the-moon fetish, my only tattoo is along these lines, though in desperate need of retouching and repair.

For the topmost example, one has to reverse (horizontally flip) the image to perceive the 6’s in the hair. The 2nd one’s a real stretch, difficult to even form 6’s from. Then there are the negative connotations with the number 13, the count of stars.

The Man in the Moon

Continued from yesterday’s post, further elaboration on how I perceive the man in the moon.

To me, it looks like a face in ecstasy, as best represented by my favorite sculpture, The Ecstasy of St. Theresa by Gian Lorenzo Bernini.

Funny that my favorite sculptor would be devoutly religious, something I am the direct opposite of, at least in the commonly-held sense. Bernini had such a knack for capturing the apex of emotional intensity in blocks of marble.

Here’s more on St. Teresa.

Face on Mars Anthropomorphism

I believe this to be anthropomorphism more than anything, but the images are still captivating.

The face on Mars as photographed by NASA in 1976

Below is a perspective view of the structure making up the face seen in the first photo. It doesn’t look quite as I would imagine, to be able cast similar shadows as those seen above.

A side view of the formation

Of course, I am thoroughly entertained by this, because it is so surreal to see a human face in a naturally-occuring landscape is so surreal.

My favorite instance of this is the man on the moon. As I looked for a picture showing this, it became apparent that most see the face differently than I do. Here’s how I perceive it:
