MTV’s Michael Jackson tribute logo/ribbon, made for…heck if I know. Pretty weird. It’s obvious it’s supposed to be a dancing MJ, but it looks like he’s doing the pee-pee dance and bears a little phallic symbolism. I bet Adam Lambert drew it.

this is dope. Its not about the form as much as it is about the symbolism. Phallic?! Grow up.
^ I’ll humor you. “What symbolism is there?”
Hotness. The shoes give it a personalized touch. Without it, it would’ve just been a regular black ribbon RIP symbol. Other shit you mentioned, to the trash.
The phallic comment is a stretch. If this is phallic, then so is every single other tribute ribbon.
It still Trumps Whatever BET Did…

Lmao…what did BEt do?

The BET Awards lol
Pretty weird.

My thoughts exactly.

First time I have ever seen Gotty™ just come right out and challenge anyone without the laidback reply lol.
(P.S. I like it – odd yet creative)
lol, I always figure it like this…
the post = my chance to say my .02.
the comments = readers/visitors chance to speak their .02.
So now I’m just waiting to hear about this “symbolism” and all that good stuff lol.
IDK, It actually reminds me of female anatomy rather than male.
now that’s symbolism I can believe in!
Phallic? You probably say “no homo,” too…
^ nope. I’m more of a “pause” kind of guy.
It speaks volumes to how shitty BET tribute was to MJ when this graphic tops their effort.
but it looks like he’s doing the pee-pee dance
——————————————————————–
I thought MTV was showing how he creeped into little boys rooms.
Heee Heee!
It looks like MJ’s shoes. I don’t see the need to go any further in the insight of such a picture.
TSS got roasted on this post…aggins dont like when u fuck wit they MJ.
^ lol, pisshaw. You think I’m chumping out to three commenters? My heart don’t pump Kool-Aid lol.
All i was getting at was this: Theres nothing phallic about the shoes, so you must have meant the shape of the ribbon. The shape of this specific ribbon is the same as every other tribute ribbon, in which case, by your logic, the breast cancer awareness ribbon, the bring our troops home ribbon, the POW ribbon etc etc …..are also phallic.
Im just not prepared to agree with that.
(and in all honesty, it IS a stretch to call it phallic in the first place.)
okay i just smoked a blunt and came back to look at the logo and the loop in the ribbon does infact kind of look like a vag.
if there was something else phallic about it i missed it…or maybe im just a pussy hound.

lol, i was gonna go all off into a whole diff tangent similar to that but left it alone.

==================
It was an offhand remark not meant to be taken too closely to heart. Did MJ have y’all sign papers or something?
But for the sake of argument, I’ll play along.
Enh…yes, the shape is similar to every other tribute “ribbon.” No, the symbolism that i see, from MY standpoint, is not similar to every other tribute ribbon as every other tribute ribbon doesn’t have shoes, shoes that we assume represent an artist. An artist who allegedly…nvm.
Since we’re all just opinionating, I have mine and stand on it. Corny logo. And real weird.
^ I’ll humor you. “What symbolism is there?”
=============================
Its a clever mash of MJ’s iconic style and a ribbon. You’re too smart not to make the connection as to what it means. Or maybe you haven’t seen a thing created in memorial. You were overly critical of a well made and easily recognizable mark.
lol I thought my mans shit up there said “Wellfare chris” it says warfare chris LMFAO
…I need to quit smoking this shit.
No comment.
some of yall can’t take sarcasm for shit…lmao.
alright shit is a little too serious in this thread…the logo is a lil wierd but kinda cool at the same time.
I like it, would i wear one…no.
hehe, i’m just playing along fam. i actually thing the logo is a-okay.
I am still waiting until it is okay to go back to remembering that MJ liked to be around children that were not his own in bed.
I hate that y’all (if it wasn’t you than don’t take it as such) gave MJ’s passing more respect, reverence and love than JB got..
James Brown > Micheal Jackson
Something I noticed.. they both are dead and were both kinda tight with Rev. Sharpton… no shots.. just observations.
Dope…
It might get wallpaper’d…
**bumps ‘This Is It’**
lmao at yalls commments. i like it tho
