Last week our government sent up this satellite.
Whatever one might think of our nation’s intelligence gathering, it boggles the mind that ANYONE could have thought this logo/motto were anything other than a bad idea!
How very…supervillainous.
It’s a joke, right?
It’s godda be a joke.
Funny if it is, but *hilarious *if it isn’t.
In either case, that logo is sweet!
They could make a fortune in T-shirt sales with that thing.
As someone on another forum pointed out, they even gave it “evil” eyes. I keep getting the urge to shout “Hail Hydra!” at it.
My son works for the rocket company that sent this puppy up. I thought he was joking when he texted me about it.
Not only does the National Intelligence Agency not give a fuck about we think of them, they are actually having fun with how little they care and that there’s not a damn thing anyone can do to make them even pretend to care. <M.Burns> Excellent. </mb>
Whoever designed that mission logo must really LOVE their CRAFT. You often see that sort of aggressive, even threatening imagery in military and paramilitary semiotics, especially the work of ELDER statesmen in the airplane nose art subcategory, who are looked up to as GODS by today’s artists. It is believed to engender courage in the young people who will have to enter the MADNESS of battle and risk DEATH under the logo or patch in question.
Yeah, it looked like it was originally Cthulhu to me too.
ETA:
See the great one rise before us.
Fa la la la la, la la la la
as we sing the Cthulhu chorus
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Follow him as he ascends
Fa la la, la la la, la la la
Join with true great Cthulhu friends
Fa la la la la la, la la la
RESISTANCE IS FUTILE ● FAILURE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED
I, FOR ONE, WELCOME OUR NEW ALIEN OVERLORDS
I’m putting that on a shirt this weekend
So, octopus alien overlords, eh? I had really thought it was going to be insects. Huh.
That’s got to be legal, right? Public agency and all.
On one t-shirt?
For my own personal use?
I doubt they’ll make a fuss much less even find out about it.
I mean it’s not like they’re in they’re monitut895-h7mni]-I]-f k08tbr- nwj7/ jkg.ggggggggggggggggggggggggg
Considering people seem more outraged by the logo than the actual purpose of the satellite…
Well, the actual purpose of the satellite is classified. Maybe it’s an Orbital Mind Control Ray. However, everyone seems to think it’s most likely a radar imaging satellite, which sounds like it would more likely be aimed at, I dunno, suspected Iranian or North Korean nuclear sites or Russian mobile missile launchers than it would be at me.
Generally, “spy satellites” don’t bother me. Hollywood notwithstanding, I don’t think they’re much use in spying on individual people. Even the best spy satellites probably can’t really see what’s on my desk very well, not to mention there’s a roof over my desk. Spy satellites are used to spy on other governments, which in a post-Pearl Harbor, post-Hiroshima, Age of the Intercontinental Missile world I figure is one of the things I pay taxes for and fully support Them doing.
It’s those beige boxes in the locked windowless rooms at The Phone Company that are problematic.
Hey now, I work for the phone company! :mad:
I can assure you some of those rooms have windows and they’re left unlocked way more than you’d be comfortable with.
I was just thinking that those T-shirt places could legally make T-shirts with that design and sell them on their websites. Just in time for Christmas!
So do I.
Nice!
Save us Zoidburg!
