Another Tasteless Phonecard From 1-2-call

[syd barrett]

I attach a photograph of the latest tasteless 100 baht phonecard from 1-2-Call.

It clearly depicts a well known glam-rock-star banned from entering Thailand and three young girls, the girl in the middle looking clearly terrified, which is understandable.

I think this card design goes beyond the limits of decency. What do you think?

555 Gotta love it

Middle girl looks petrified!

EDIT Actually, I'm not sure it's a girl, which makes the GG image even more disturbing.

I think it is time for a psychiatrist.

Barman!

I'll have a pint of whatever Syd is drinking please.

[Slip]

Syd I love this crusade, it has a certain Viz quality. Wait tho' - I have to look at the new picture...

[tw25rw]

Is the guy in the front an AFL goal umpire?

[eek]

Ok ..i have to admit..the combination of the first image you showed in the last thread, teamed with this one, does make the whole thing seem a bit strange.......

[Moonrakers]

I'm with Syd here.

The guy at the front is wearing a T-shirt with the word "Freedom" on it. This is clearly a free GG campaign and as such is utterly appalling.

Now where did I put that beer.......................

What are those three petrol pump nozzles doing? Especially the one on the right

Note the rainbow banner (similar to the gay rainbow flag) is streaming out of the middle of the crack in the Atlantic ocean (the farangland divide); also note the utter bulbousness of the dual blue globes. The gas "pumps" representing global dependency on oil and/or generic pumping are either emitting the magical banner from the crack in the ocean, or they are ingesting it. The very ambiguity of it all is calculated to stimulate phone card sales and the continued artificial weakness of the Chinese Yuan.

Syd, thank you for highlighting the insidious dangers lurking in what 99.9999999% of the world would see as harmless fun.

It is only people with special talents who can see the deep meaning in these ostensibly innocuous everyday items.

Did you know that these special cards are programmed to surreptitiously mess with your head?

I am sure many readers will agree that the cards have indeed scrambled some peoples' minds.

Pretty funny, OP.

If the original post is not meant as a joke, the OP has some problems, maybe as koo-koo as his namesake.

Exactly! It is costing me a fortune trying to find how many of these offensive card designs are out there. The 300 baht cards I have just purchased are truly shocking.

[Jingthing]

You and me both, brudder, you and me both ...

Anyone else notice the buttocks Atlantic ocean?

Its cheaper to just buy more cards.

And there is GAS going either into or out of it, we cannot ever know ...

[neverdie]

Maybe I could make a group booking to see doctor.....

[DanaDeLuxe]

Uh oh - and the flying fish next to the devilish hand symbol!! Foreign religions fighting in the skies... Weird...

It's fun to decypher the cryptic messages in there, but the truth is - you are pathetic... *eg*

Count me in!!!

The clouds have little sheep faces! Or do they?

[neverdie]

Seriously tho, if syd-barrett is in seriously disgusted over this, then he/she should really blindfold oneself before proceeding outside....there is so much more out there to get worked up about

[Jingthing]

I have confession to make. I have never before even given the cards a second glance. All part of their evil design, obviously. Subliminal messages. We are being converted into secret agents of telephony domination. Mr. Syd deserves a medal. Be aware. Study the cards!

Jingthing, to be honest with you, I'm flat out pushing the little buttons on my phone to get all those digits in & in the correct sequence....sometimes i work myself into a frenzie just trying to knock the top off it, woops I mean get the code in so I can get active on the phone again >>> is there really that much time in the day to sit around trying to decipher what this cheap form of art is really about?

I thought the part to te left was a 'flying kite', we all know what that means.

Not sure if he rounded shape to the right was a water melon or not.

...I will look more closely next time, is this alien communications again?
