No, it's right there in your face, ie it's obvious to you, in the same way that psychiatry is obviously evil for a Scientologist. Our brains are susceptible to false irrational thoughts and are hard-wired to find patterns in, and attach meaning to meaningless chaos. It sounds like you are the victim of an irrational idea.

It is the same thing that makes you see faces in the moon and pictures in the clouds that makes you see Masonic symbols in money and messages on drinks cans.

It's a bit of very good marketing.

What does it mean? Not much.

Why is it there? Well, you're talking about it aren't you? I wouldn't have heard of the drink unless you had brought it up in this thread and I'm sure there are people all over talking about it. Indeed, it's on YouTube.

The marketing team deserve a pay rise.

This is the point. There is no message. It doesn't "mean" anything. It's just a logo on a can, designed to be memorable and look "cool". Just think about it for a while. Why would they put a secret message on a soft drink can? Who are they speaking to? Why not just use email? If it's secret why put it on millions of shelves. And if you say that it's "subliminal" designed to affect peoples actions then that's total [LIFTED]. Seeing a pattern similar to another pattern does not make people love satan or murder their wives, it's a fairytale, a myth. Same goes for messages in songs when played backwards and "white noise" messages and all that utter crap.

Bratty, here's a video that you must, must watch - it's a video about why we see patterns in "meaningless noise":

The Pattern Behind Self-Deception - Michael Shermer

The human tendency to believe strange things, from alien abductions to dowsing rods, boils down to two of the brain's most basic, hard-wired survival skills.

It doesn't mean anything.

Yes it probably is.

Chris, it's like showing a dog a magic trick sometimes.
Anyway, I'd say the Monster logo could just as easily be interpreted as the three nails used to crucify Jesus, and not anything Satanic at all.
YMMV.

Yes, it's like the marks left by bears when they climb a tree, they probably used to scare people into making up stories about monsters back in the olden times.

If you look very carefully it's also very similar to the ancient letter M, and is actually probably a reference to the fact that Paul McCartney was cloned and replaced by an evil version. Open your mind man, don't buy in to the state's bullsh1t, see the truth. And have a toke of this spliff.

Six in the morn, oot ma baed
Cup o' haet caffee, git the paper raed
Rake in the tinnie fur a wee jam scone
Nihing bit crumbs, fit the hell's gin oan?

Pinsion day, hoose is dry
Mebbe gae tae Murdoch's fur a wee staek pie
Up the street, weel fa did a see?
Doad an' Wully in the Raed Beestee.

Quater tae six, Ah'd better go
She'll wunner far ah am, be up tae high doe
A winner oan ma coupon'll calm hings doon
Itherwise, ah'll be a henpeckit loon!

Came in aboot, nae smell, nae pan
Naeb'dy aroon', fuar'n the hell hiv thae gang?
"Far hiv YOU been?" she girns at me
"Nivir mind that, fuar'n the hell's ma tea?

Fuar's ma mince? Fuar's ma mince?
Haed a wee drap Windsday an' ah've haed nane since.
Plinty o' tatty, big green laef
Ah get a big moan but nae buggerin' baef!!!

Ah'm oot in a sweat an' ah'm panickin' noo
On the sirch fur a bliddy big coo
Rummel aboot, high and lo
Nihing fur it, awa tae Tesco

Hoof doon the wid, nip in the air
Only wunted ma maet, didna wunt ony mair
Hands in ma poackets and sna oan the grun
Slipped oan the path, a' ah cud dee wis run!

Weel, ah plummeted doon at an affa speed
Christ A'michty ah thocht ah wis deid!
Jist hung oan an staedied the ship
Jeesus min, ah fair swung ma hips!

Goat tae Tesco, jist in time
Nae cloased yit bit that suits me fine
Bit fit'n the hell's this? Shelves bereft
"Wir soary mister, thir"s nae baef left!"

Fuar's ma mince? Fuar's ma mince?
Haed a wee drap Windsday an' ah've haed nane since.
Plinty o' tatty, big green laef
Thir's plinty excuses but nae buggerin' baef!!!

Fit can a man dee? The wurld"s goan tae pot
Nae bliddy wunner a man taks the shot
I dinna wunt the earth an' I couldna gie a dam
Ah'm jist nae in the mood for corned baef nor spam

Ah've a bliddy guid mind tae mak a phone call
Oan tae thae buggers at Interpol
Nae baef, nae maet, fit an affa cairy oan!
At's nae bliddy mince, fit the bliddy hell's yon!!?

Once you work out that he's saying Fs instead of Ws that's actually quite easy to understand, i like it.

I liked it too and it comes from a classic heritage: Tam O' Shanter.

Try your translation skills on that. :)
Quote:
When chapman billies leave the street,
And drouthy neibors, neibors, meet;
As market days are wearing late,
And folk begin to tak the gate,
While we sit bousing at the nappy,
An' getting fou and unco happy,
We think na on the lang Scots miles,
The mosses, waters, slaps and stiles,
That lie between us and our hame,
Where sits our sulky, sullen dame,
Gathering her brows like gathering storm,
Nursing her wrath to keep it warm.

This truth fand honest Tam o' Shanter,
As he frae Ayr ae night did canter:
(Auld Ayr, wham ne'er a town surpasses,
For honest men and bonie lasses).


That's one of the easiest parts. It's a great poem and quite sinister.

Idiot zips through the streets of Moscow on his Yamaha R1 donorcycle Clicky

When he gets into heavier traffic at about the 3 min mark, there are some scrotum-shrivelling moments. I wouldn't expect that he'll be long for this world.

Yes but is the other users on the road that might be a problem. When stationary many people open their doors to through out the contents of the ashtray. That would be an instant disaster.

True; all it would have taken is one of those motorists to try a lane change and it would have been Game Over. Well done on reaching 10,000 posts by the way. Pcernie will have to buck his ideas up if he's going to stay ahead. :)
