The Obama salute.

Why is anyone paying any attention to this self-promotion by some lame Los Angeles "creative agency"? If this design came from the Obama campaign it would deserve the kind of vociferous ridicule we saw in response to the Obama seal. If the design was excellent it would deserve the admiration we saw for the independently produced "Progress" poster. But the Obama salute ? which looks like a hand gesture for "fuck me" ? is just stupid and bad and not from the Obama campaign, so it's nothing at all.

It's the universal sign for the onion ring.

That's a reference to my old onion rings post ? more here ? where I said "the 'O' of an onion ring is a vagina symbol." Which is why I'm saying now that the salute looks like it means "fuck me." It's a way to say "here's my vagina," just like the upraised middle finger means "here's my penis."

Paging Chip Ahoy. Remember when he did that thing to my vortex on Melrose?
