Title: so am i the only one
Post by: Philip K Dick on February 23, 2012 11:03 PM
who always thought the disney D logo looks more like a G?

Maybe it's meant to resemble the clef which does indeed mark the G

Disney usually includes way too many songs in its movies which is not necessarily a bad thing but barely progresses the plot. I mean I fucking love the Lion King Soundtrack and the musical is pretty awesome but some insert songs are just annoying...

it's more or so a swooping cursive D

I was always confused of its look too when I was a kid. With Disney being a dyslexic, he wasn't making it easier for the rest of us.

dude, when he asks if "[he's] the only one who _____", it's obviously he doesn't REALLY mean to imply that he thinks he's the only person in the world who does "______". what's implied is "here's something i notice (in general) but never really hear anyone else mention, does anyone else notice this?" or "i have an opinion that is not widely shared, does anyone else share this opinion?"

why would you get all picky about him using a figure of speech? just seems petty. ya gotta calm down bro

Title: Re: so am i the only one
Post by: trent bortknob on February 24, 2012 03:53 AM

everyone did

or at least the majority of people it seems

Well, G is only a few spaces away from the D. It's probably just a typo.

the disney corporation has put more money into cryogenically freezing walt disney and editing out all the racist parts of dumbo than the combined sum of all the money they've made from disneyland tickets
