Lenin, our dear leader



So I got this enveloppe in the mail. Recognizing the type's colour, the profile and, well, the party logo on the other side of the enveloppe, there was no mystery to me who this was from, but I showed it to F, asking her who that was on the enveloppe, and she said "The L guy".

So I thought that she got it, that she thought that it was this guy, but no! I said some other comment, and she said "oh, I thought it was Lenin".

And she's right!! Look at the original sillouhette!!

I think that most people who would get it (unprompted) wouldn't mind, and if somehow called on it, the second picture I pointed to was inside the enveloppe, so they can say they didn't mean it like that. :]

Maybe it was a complete marxian slip from the graphic designer. 8)

marxian slip? heh.

then why'd they make the microphone look like a dildo? because, i'm sorry, that silhouette just does not convey "microphone" to me. whee!

Well, that's obviously a Freudian slip. :P

"BOO!!"

Okay.

It could also look like a knife planted in his arm. =)
