This article in stuff reminds me of the story of the woman
who called the police to complain that her neighbour was whistling dirty songs.
The Kapiti Coast district council has adopted a new logo intended
to evoke the image of Kapiti island viewed from the Kapiti Coast. Now I
normally regard logos with the same disdain I give to Business School mission
statements, and primary-school mottoes, but I have to say this one is quite
striking. Apparently, however, "some members of the public" (should that really be a plural?) have provided
feedback that the image is “more than mildly pornographic”. Hmmm. Somehow I
can’t see Kapiti’s new logo ever making this list. (The last link is NSFW if you have colleagues who would find the Kapiti logo pornographic; otherwise it should be fine.)
I've looked at the logo and read the article and the comments and I still don't get it. Based on the council member's comment about the bent knee, perhaps she is thinking of a male lying down on the lower half of the letter K, having an errection? That's the best I can think of. Can you help?
ReplyDeleteApril Fool?
ReplyDeleteI can't help. I don't get it either.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the old joke of the psychiatrist with the Rorschach test and the patient who said, 'Whaddaya mean, doc? You're the one with the dirty pictures.'
ReplyDeleteI don't usually lack for creativity in such matters, but I'm also completely puzzled. The text suggests someone thinks the bottom part of the K is a bended knee, making the wavy horizontal part top of the K a tumescent member. The correspondent making such suggestion probably ought to see a doctor; I'm pretty sure they're not supposed to be wavy like that.
ReplyDeleteThat list misses perhaps the two most widely known -- Amazon, and the 2012 Olympics, both of which are more obvious than the Kapiti one.
ReplyDeleteha they are sorry you not get the joke about Kapiti
ReplyDeleteno need for local Councils
