jtp Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 You really think it is a Nazi salute?Surely not,i could think of no reason they would use that on a phone card.I think maybe a mistake,not meaning anything but a playful picture...I hope so,anyway.

jtp Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 No,it's not a Nazi salute,as the other arm should be by his side.I suggest it is a drawing of someone playing a game,or defending against the other object in the drawing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rideswings Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) What I find extremely offensive is that they probably paid someone good money to draw that for them, Im thinking at least 10 or 20 baht. But I also second the motion that it looks like a karate move and not a salute, although I have seen swastikas used in Thailand from time to time as decoration, but not by Nazis and not to promote fasicm! P.S. The karate Nazis shirt says "Freedom" which at first I thought was the artists signature. Edited February 15, 2009 by rideswings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eek Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 ..when i first looked I thought it seemed so silly to think that there is anything to do with Nazism in the graphics ....but the surgeon image is really ODD! If you wanted to go down the subliminal route, you could say the cloud images are mushroom clouds. Two people parachuting down on a love-heart emblem parachute = ??not a bloody clue?? The world is in the background..with some rainbow path leading to a house on a "cloud" = heaven??or something akin. The t-shirt says "freedom" ..ok i realise that is freedom to do with the 1-2-call thing..but ....??? Some other things i cant quite make out well, but seems to be an aeroplane and a helicopter. Before i just saw it as some graphics, not taking much note, but Im more intrigued to know what the artists interpretation is! Even if there is some suggestion regarding the Nazi era, I somehow doubt it would have been created to be negative or offensive. I guess it depends how the viewer interprets it. ..yow Chan Khit MAAK MAAK!! *bangs head* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would have been better if the OP had presented the image in a less judgemental way. Saying what he thinks he sees in the graphics and inviting others opinions. Could turn out to be an interesting topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanted to go down the subliminal route, you could say the cloud images are mushroom clouds. Notice the accommodation block with gas pipes entering them from both sides. Then observe the three dogs following the VW Automobile (One bitch and two puppies). Need I say more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
