syd barrett Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 (edited) 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. Edited February 16, 2009 by Crossy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eek Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 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....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonrakers Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 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....................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsetBkk Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 (edited) What are those three petrol pump nozzles doing? Especially the one on the right Edited February 16, 2009 by JetsetBkk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 (edited) 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.

njpski Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 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.

bendejo Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syd barrett Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 The very ambiguity of it all is calculated to stimulate phone card sales. 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 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) 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?

Cuban Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 The clouds have little sheep faces! Or do they? 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?
