...then again my mind is always in the gutter.

I came across this image a while ago but have been extremely lax in my blogging efforts and unmotivated in general. I now have not one but two jobs however and as it turns out being extremely busy makes me want to do more in every are of my life, so here goes.

Admittedly I am NOT the Mayhem festivals target audience, but the graphics on this flyer baffle me. I have no issue with the images of death and destruction, the burning city in the background or even the skeleton in chains (cough - blatant Eddie the Demon rip-off - cough).


What I don't get is the disembodied, flaccid, uncircumcised phallus sprouting from the word Slayer. Is the band into rotting penises? Have Jeff, Kerry and the boys even seen this? That's totally what that thing is though, some dudes dong, right? It can't be an arm because it's too skinny (and red), and if it's a finger (and I think it's too big) where has it's hand gotten to?  

I am thoroughly disturbed by this image.
