It’s a small world or go home?
Not sure how or why this would be used, but I think at a minimum it could easily serve as social object/conversation piece about a well crafted idea or concept. Its fun, wicked and interesting all at the same time. Also what’s more fun than twisting and gnarling a u.s. icon?
@Rasul: I think the way this will be used is to warn media users of potential copyright damages incurred by copying…
Graphically, it looks like a combination of Mickey Mouse and the Nuclear or biohazard danger signs. So, if i were Hugh, I would (very strictly) license it to the RIAA and MPAA for use on products with a warning that says “after we sue your dead grandmother, we will take your house, take your job, take your money, excise your future and eat you in your sleep.”
“Keep the world the same or destroy everything?”
There’s money in this one Hugh.
I think it is a perfect icon for a company with the nerve to place carts to sell half litre bottles of water right in front of drinking water fountains. Then again, Hugh should draw another cartoon to describe the stupid stupid people who line up to pay 5 to 7 dollars for the bottled water instead of drinking from a fountain.
Can we say addition to Disney World?? “Demonzville”, pure with minnie demon, goofy demon, and demon castle. Golden.
This is what happened to Mickey when Donald Duck told him that Minnie was fuc**** goofy. Of course, Donald always felt that Minnie was not quite all there, having to do with recurring bouts of depression left over from her feelings about her early childhood and her continuing alcoholism issues, combined with her constant behavior desires for shoplifting and bank fraud. Mickey, on the other hand, purchased a hand gun and has been hanging out by the dog house for several days. Of course, it’s a communication issue and everyone can see how badly these things can turn out when the message you are sending is not understood correctly …
I don’t know Dave, he might just be musting.
The true spirit of disneyfication revealed
Hmmm. you wouldn’t be implying that Disney is an EVIL EMPIRE bent on TOTAL SANITIZATION of the world’s cultures of any interesting uniqueness, would you?
didn’t think so.
Inverted it looks like the new evil trash compactor located at the back of the building. If you are a purse snatcher this is the new place to ditch unwanted stuff.
